STR.11:4.4 - Bound the commitment in practical terms

State what is selected, for what purpose and horizon, what resources or conduct it binds, and what remains excluded or conditional. Name who provides or allocates the resources and who authorizes the dependent action.

Keep the scope legible to the people who will use it. If preparation is selected, say what it may obtain and what execution it does not include. If a continuing obligation is created, include its support and exit conditions. Preserve protected current work and the cost of keeping a fallback available.

Use ordinary existing decision notes when they carry the needed reasoning. Retain enough detail that a later participant will not infer a larger commitment or stronger evidence than the choice supports.
