Capabilities
Precedent / 01
Conditions matter
Retrieve the circumstances of a past decision along with its outcome. Similar words do not establish the same governing facts.
Discuss this capability
Precedent / 02
Dissent survives
Preserve disagreement, reviewer qualifications, and uncertainty. A durable record should not erase the reasons a decision was difficult.
Discuss this capability
Precedent / 03
Outcome evidence
Give greater weight to records with observed results while keeping the difference between tested and proposed lessons visible.
Discuss this capability
Precedent / 04
Fresh review
Reassess precedent when its policy, source, environment, or expiration changes. Retrieval supports judgment; it does not replace authority.
Discuss this capability
An accountable workflow
Retrieve prior decisions with their conditions, dissent, and outcomes, then assess whether they apply to the present scenario. Define the use case, permitted information, and decision owner before evaluating the workflow.
Evidence for the next decision
Keep the applicable policy, source context, review, and outcome connected. A decision record should support reconstruction, correction, and a fresh assessment when circumstances change.
