Decision position
Material findings are separated from propositions that remain conditional, model-dependent or unresolved.
Published MH370 case material
Decision record example: MH370
This example shows what a useful decision record should give you: what is established, what is uncertain, what contradicts the position and what can responsibly be relied upon.
From research to a decision record
Limitations
Missing evidence, specialist dependencies and unresolved questions remain visible instead of being lost during drafting.
Reliance boundary
The record explains what can responsibly support a decision and what would go beyond the available evidence.
Research closure does not mean artificial certainty
The v0.6 closing record documents the state of the research at the evidence cut-off, including remaining gaps and the requirement for independent specialist review.
Open v0.6 Research Closing RecordWhat a client can learn from this example
- How a large research record is reduced to decision-relevant findings.
- How confidence, contradiction and missing evidence remain explicit.
- How a conclusion is prevented from becoming stronger than its evidentiary basis.
- How later evidence can trigger revision, monitoring or supersession.
