# Decision Brief

Clear recommendation with supporting arguments, counterarguments, and decision framework documentation.

## Expected Artifacts

- **Recommendation** -- clear recommendation with the strongest supporting and counterarguments
- **Decision framework** -- criteria weights, who set them, and how conflicts were resolved
- **Dissenting perspectives** -- documented with their reasoning, not dismissed
- **Decision record** -- what was decided, by whom, and the rationale

## Quality Signals

- Recommendation presents both supporting arguments and counterarguments
- Decision framework documents criteria weights and who set them
- Dissenting perspectives are documented with reasoning
- Decision is recorded with clear rationale and accountability
