✅ Article highlight: *Structured Decision Records and Meeting-to-Artifact Lowering* (art-60-343, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article argues that a meeting is not a decision record.
Organizations often say “we discussed it,” “legal was in the room,” or “everyone aligned,” then act as if the conversation itself were stable governance. 343 defines a lowering step from conversational coordination into bounded artifacts that record what was actually reviewed, what evidence counted, what remained open, and what effect became admissible.

Why it matters:
• prevents verbal agreement from becoming magical authority
• separates meeting minutes from decision records
• keeps dissent, recusal, and conditional approval visible
• distinguishes mentioned evidence from the evidence basis that actually counted
• makes later appeals, overrides, and anti-shadow-governance review much easier
What’s inside:
•
•
•
•
• bounded lowering from conversation to reviewable governance artifacts
• explicit tracking of unresolved questions and admissible effects
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“we discussed it and decided to proceed.”*
Say:
*“this conversation was lowered into this decision record, this was the evidence basis, these questions remained open, this dissent stayed visible, and this conditional effect became admissible.”*
Conversation is useful.
But governance should not exist only in the room.
