Decision log
Every decision, with who, when and why.
And what replaced it, so nobody acts on something that no longer applies.

Replaced decisions stay visible.
When a decision changes, the old one is marked as replaced, with the meeting that replaced it, so nobody acts on what no longer applies.
More than a record
It remembers why.
Documents say what was decided. Meetings say why. Skientia keeps the reasoning with the decision, and marks a decision as replaced when you change your mind.
March: decision
We chose supplier A for price.
June: learning
Deliveries ran three weeks late.
September: change
We moved to supplier B.
Today: a new hire asks why
And gets the whole story, with sources.
The payoff
When someone leaves, their knowledge stays.
The next person starts where the last one stopped, not from zero.
