Example input
[DECISION]: Decision today (May 20): we're going to focus the next quarter on enterprise customers instead of self-serve. We talked about it for an hour. Sarah and Mike were the deciders. Considered: stay focused on self-serve, do both. Picked enterprise because two recent enterprise leads showed high revenue potential and we don't have capacity for both. Reversible if enterprise doesn't pan out.
Example output
**Decision:**
Focus product, sales, and marketing capacity on enterprise customers for the next quarter, deprioritizing self-serve.
**Date:**
2026-05-20.
**Made by:**
Sarah (CEO), Mike (Head of Product). Quarterly priority decisions made by the two of them per company governance.
**Trigger:**
Two recent enterprise leads (companies in the 500-1500 employee range) showed high revenue potential and explicit interest. The team doesn't have the capacity to actively pursue both motions, and the choice was forced by Q3 planning.
**Alternatives considered:**
- **Stay focused on self-serve.** Self-serve has predictable revenue and a known playbook. Not picked because the enterprise opportunities are time-bounded and could be lost if not pursued now.
- **Do both at reduced intensity.** Not picked because the team has tried this before and the result was both motions underperforming. Capacity isn't there.
**Reasoning:**
The two enterprise leads represent a potential year of self-serve revenue if either closes. The self-serve motion has compound growth that can pause for a quarter without significant loss; the enterprise opportunity may not return if missed. Sarah and Mike agreed within the meeting; no significant disagreement.
**Expected outcome:**
By the end of Q3, at least one of the two named enterprise leads has signed or is in late-stage negotiation. Self-serve revenue should be flat to slightly down (since acquisition spend is being redirected) but not collapse. Cancellation rate on existing self-serve customers should not change materially.
**What would change our minds:**
- Both enterprise leads stall or close-lost by end of Q2.
- Self-serve revenue or retention degrades faster than expected — specifically, more than 15% revenue decline within the quarter, or churn climbing meaningfully.
- A larger self-serve opportunity surfaces (an enterprise channel partnership that scales the existing motion).
**Reversibility:**
Moderate. The self-serve motion isn't being shut down; acquisition spend and product attention are being redirected. Restoring the motion takes a few weeks of reallocation, not a rebuild. Hires made for enterprise might not unwind cleanly if the direction reverses.
**Followups:**
- Pause new self-serve marketing campaigns by end of next week (owner: Mike).
- Allocate one engineer to enterprise-specific features for the two named leads (owner: Mike, this week).
- Sarah to lead the close on both enterprise opportunities; weekly status to Mike (ongoing).
- Reconvene to review the decision at end of Q2 (owner: Sarah, calendar invite).

CLAUDE-5-SONNET
Turns a rough account of a decision into a log worth reading six months later: what was decided, who actually decided it, what triggered it now, and the alternatives seriously on the table with why each lost — plus honest reasoning, including "we didn't have time to evaluate X" over manufactured justification. Names what would change the team's mind, how reversible the call is, and records postponed decisions as postponed. One of 40 in the Pemway Power User Pack.
