Method

A practical method for reviewing one moving decision.

Norraz separates what changed, why review is required, what evidence exists, and who owns the next commitment. It does not automate or replace the accountable decision.

Core workflow

Signal → Trigger → Evidence → Review Outcome → Review

  1. 01SignalSomething changed
  2. 02TriggerReview is required
  3. 03EvidenceProof and gaps
  4. 04Review OutcomeContinue, slow, pause, stop
  5. 05ReviewOwner, boundary, date
Decision guardrails

One proof. One owner. A written authority line.

1 Proof + 1 Owner

  • Owner
  • Forum
  • Stop Authority
  • Evidence
  • Boundary
  • Review Date

Evidence can be incomplete. What matters is that the gap, responsibility, and next review condition are visible.

Decision outcomes

A review must make the next action explicit.

ContinueEvidence supports the next commitment.
SlowProceed with a narrower boundary.
PauseRestore evidence before continuing.
StopDo not deepen the commitment.
Commitment gates

Review before the cost of reversal rises.

Lock-in and reversal cost generally increase toward commitment and scale.

Review signals

Look for conditions that make changing direction harder.

  • Vendor lock-in — switching cost or dependency is increasing.
  • Internal lock-in — plans, roles, or expectations now depend on one option.
  • Integration debt — temporary interfaces are becoming permanent constraints.
  • Schedule compression — time pressure is replacing evidence with assumption.

Reversal cost: 0 Easy · 1 Manageable · 2 Major rework or stakeholder damage · 3 Practically irreversible.
