Decision Rights

Separate contribution, recommendation, decision authority, bounded veto and execution. The roles below illustrate an explicit decision envelope.

Provide commercial evidence, feasibility, cost and risk. Input does not imply consent authority.

Integrate evidence, alternatives, constraints and displacement into a proposed choice.

Choose within the approved capacity envelope. Escalate a larger allocation to the authorized portfolio forum.

Protect the explicit audit and revocation boundary. Name the violation and conditions for acceptance.

Choose implementation within the outcome, capacity and risk limits.

Reopen the decision when a boundary, decisive assumption or review trigger changes.
