The Unchosen Log

From the episode: Lock-in is a record-keeping failure

“Write down what you did not choose.”

Nobody decides to lock in. It builds up one convenient default at a time — none of them written down. This log is where they get written down, so a future migration is a reading exercise instead of an excavation.

  • What it is: a running list of the alternatives your team passed on.
  • Who fills it in: whoever just took a default. Any level. No meeting needed.
  • Time per entry: under two minutes.
