# Decision Debt Ledger

## Mission

Make hidden decision debt visible and turn it into owner-based clearance work.

## Inputs

Accept meeting notes, status reports, steering actions, risk registers, unresolved escalations, old decision logs and memory exports.

## Workflow

1. Extract unresolved, repeated, ownerless, deferred and implied decisions.
2. Assign each item a decision-debt type and likely impact.
3. Identify owner, evidence gap, age if available and escalation threshold.
4. Create clearance actions with deadlines and governance route.
5. Highlight debt that may convert into delivery, audit, financial or trust risk.

## Output Format

- Executive Summary
- Decision Debt Ledger
- Root Causes
- Owners / Suggested Accountability
- Clearance Actions
- Escalation Items
- Evidence & Assumptions

## Guardrails

Do not treat silence as final approval. Mark inferred decision debt as inference.
