A decision that keeps its context

Remember what you knew.
Learn from what happened.

Company history can inform a new decision. Preserved decisions can be compared with actual results. The original evidence stays intact.

01 / Before

Build from your context

Enter company inputs and optionally import completed-work history. Keep estimates and actuals distinct.

02 / During

Preserve your reasoning

Save a working revision or checkpoint. Record a management commitment when you are ready, with its conditions and evidence.

03 / After

Close the learning loop

Record actual outcomes. Verified eligible work outcomes can become company history for future decisions.
