# Alignment Document

The final record of stakeholder review — decisions made, feedback incorporated, and ownership assigned. This output is the terminal artifact of the product-strategy lifecycle.

## Content Guide

Structure the document around decisions and accountability:

- **Executive summary** — what was presented, what was decided, what changed
- **Decision records** — each strategic decision with status (approved/contested/deferred), decision-maker, and rationale
- **Feedback themes** — categorized stakeholder input mapped to roadmap decision points
- **Roadmap adjustments** — changes made to the roadmap based on feedback, with before/after
- **Contested items** — points of disagreement with escalation path or resolution plan
- **Follow-up ownership** — who owns what, with clear next actions
- **Open questions** — items that need further investigation before commitment

## Quality Signals

- Every decision has a named owner and clear status
- Feedback is categorized by impact level, not just listed
- Roadmap adjustments trace back to specific feedback, not vague "stakeholder input"
- Contested items have explicit resolution paths, not hand-waves
- The document is a reliable record — someone absent from the meeting can reconstruct what happened
