Full methodology

The technical record behind the public method.

The Decision Standard controls the mandatory sequence. The Technical Manual supports analysis without creating a competing process.

Four scrutiny levels

Routine decisions receive short proportionate review. Standard decisions receive a concise complete record. Major decisions require full technical work and independent challenge. Exceptional decisions receive enhanced legal, constitutional and deep-uncertainty review.

Five core records

  • Policy brief
  • Evidence and options record
  • Rights, distribution and risk record
  • Delivery and learning plan
  • Decision statement
