Diligence

Decision Journal

A structured record of the rationale, conviction level, dissenting views, and signal snapshot at the moment a decision was made.

Decision journals are how serious investment teams convert hindsight into learning. The point is not to score yourself - it is to surface the patterns of bias, blind spots, and shortcut reasoning that recur across decisions.

Build the journal at the time of decision, not in retrospect.
