How it works

1

Define the decision

Keep the inputs tied to one first-release decision and a consistent scope.

2

Calculate the result

The tool applies a transparent rule or formula directly to the entered evidence.

3

Set the next action

Use the output to narrow scope, validate an assumption or assign follow-up work.

Frequently asked questions

Is the result final or binding?

No. It is a planning result based on the entered assumptions and should be revised when evidence changes.

Can this replace specialist review?

No. Obtain qualified technical, commercial, legal, privacy or research review where the decision requires it.

How should the result be documented?

Record the inputs, evidence source, owner and next review date so the decision remains explainable.
