Buyer takeaways

What to carry into the next decision.

  1. 01

    Reference a specific sample or artwork version in every decision entry.

  2. 02

    Preserve earlier decisions instead of overwriting the revision history.

  3. 03

    Name the open question and the owner of its next action.

A decision log should answer four questions: what was reviewed, what was decided, what remains open and who owns the next action. Each entry references a sample or artwork version rather than a general product name.

Use concise status language and preserve previous decisions instead of overwriting them. This makes a revision history useful when a project pauses, changes participants or returns to an earlier option.

The tool can be simple. Its value comes from keeping evidence and decisions close enough that the next participant can understand the project without reconstructing the conversation.
