Company governance
Decision Queue
One company-wide register for choices that need evidence, discussion and an accountable conclusion. Each item states the actual question, a recommended starting point, what evidence closes it and the source that created it.
Frame
Agree on the exact decision—not merely the surrounding topic.
Challenge
Review the recommendation, risks, alternatives and missing evidence.
Decide
Name the accountable decision-maker, decision and effective date.
Propagate
Update the source document, roadmap, owner and dependent work.
