Decision trail
Append-only history of how a structured decision evolved — not just the last edit.
Concept
Why closure cares about trails
At closure time, auditors and engineering leaders often ask how you knew it was safe to stop. A decision trail ties that story to timestamps and actors instead of relying on memory.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a decision trail matter at closure?
Reviewers and leadership can see how understanding evolved and what evidence supported the final close, instead of trusting a single static narrative written later.
