# Northstar decision memo

Keep the whole memo within one page. Use short bullets; put any speaking
notes separately. Cite source IDs for material claims.

## Situation

At most six short bullets.

## Decision and scope

`PROCEED FULLY / PROCEED WITH BOUNDED CONDITIONS / PAUSE`

State exactly what is proposed. Distinguish a bounded demonstration from
a binding delivery commitment; the group makes the decision.

## Evidence and remaining uncertainty

Summarise the strongest evidence, interpretation, opportunities and risks.
Name unresolved contradictions from the analysis without silently choosing
a version. Keep sourced facts distinct from conclusions.

## Conditions and open questions

| Condition or question | Why it matters | Human owner | Next checkpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| | | | |

List each item once. Use source-supported dates; mark any proposed owner
or date as needing confirmation.

## AI review note

One correction actually made to an AI answer and why, or **No correction
made**. Include source IDs checked. A rejected claim in a source draft is
not automatically an error the AI made.
