The structural flaw in your decision exists before you make it. Identify it — before commitment becomes irreversible.

The Decision Ledger

A classification system of decision failure mechanisms.

Every failure maps to a structural condition — not a story.

If no viable exit exists → the structure is invalid.

If stability is assumed → test for change.

If inputs are indirect → verify against primary sources.

If opposing data is ignored → re-evaluate.

If execution deviates → realign before continuation.

If reality changes → the model must be rebuilt.
