01 / Decision brief

The decision comes first.

Decision

Which program supports appear promising enough to continue, what remains uncertain, and what should be observed next?

Objective

Turn rough program observations into a traceable evidence record, a challenged interpretation, a concise meeting brief, and an owned next action.

Acceptance signal

Every factual statement resolves to a source; uncertainty is explicit; consequential decisions remain human-owned.

02 / Evidence ledger

Evidence stays separate from interpretation.

Every record keeps an ID, source location, context note, and evidence posture so the meeting brief can be retraced.

RecordObservationContextPosture
E-001DEMO-SESSION-01
Group transition began 4:10 after verbal directions started. Spoken directions only; standard room; two staff present. OBSERVED
E-002DEMO-SESSION-02
Group transition began 2:35 after a visual activity sequence was displayed and the first step was restated. Standard room; two staff present. OBSERVED
E-003DEMO-SESSION-03
Group transition began 3:50 with the visual sequence in use. Different room; substitute staff member; equipment arrived late. OBSERVED
E-004DEMO-SESSION-02
Facilitator noted unprompted use of the visual sequence. Informal note; no structured participant feedback collected. OBSERVED WITH LIMITATION
03 / Analysis + challenge

The preferred interpretation has to face the evidence that weakens it.

Candidate interpretation

The visual sequence may help participants anticipate the next activity.

The visual sequence is a plausible, low-burden support worth observing further. The current records do not establish that it caused the faster transition.

PROPOSED HUMAN REVIEW
Evidence that supports itE-002 + E-004

The visual-sequence session was faster and the facilitator recorded unprompted use.

Evidence that complicates itE-003

A slower visual-sequence session remains in the record.

What is still missing
  • Only one verbal-directions-only comparison
  • Room, staffing, and equipment conditions differ
  • No structured participant feedback
04 / Meeting preparation

Complex evidence becomes a clear human decision.

Purpose

Decide what to continue observing before discussing any program-support change.

Decision requested

Continue the visual sequence for three comparable sessions while collecting the same transition measure and one accessible feedback item?

Discussion guardrail

Present the visual sequence as a support under observation, not a proven intervention.

05 / Decision log

Every proposal keeps its approval state.

Each consequential choice remains attached to the evidence and person responsible for it.

Navigating ambiguity

SDA connects the answer to what happens next.

Sources stay connected to interpretation, human decisions, and next actions. A reader can inspect where the work came from and continue without reconstructing the original conversation.
