Identify Decisions

Given a meeting transcript or notes, identify every decision that was made. Decisions are distinct from action items (which are tasks) and discussion points (which are still open).

What Counts as a Decision

A decision is a commitment to a course of action or a resolution of an open question. Indicators in transcript language:

• Explicit agreement: "We've decided to...", "The team agreed that..."
• Approval: "That's approved.", "Let's go with option B."
• Resolution: "We'll use X instead of Y.", "The deadline is set for..."
• Rejection: "We're not moving forward with...", "That's off the table."

Procedure

1. Read the full transcript.
2. Identify every decision point using the indicators above.
3. For each decision, record:
   • Decision: a clear, definitive statement of what was decided (not a question or discussion point, but a resolution)
   • Made by: who made or approved the decision (person or group)
   • Rationale: why this decision was made (from the transcript context)
   • Impact: what changes as a result of this decision (if stated)
4. Distinguish between firm decisions and tentative ones:
   • Firm: "We decided X." → record as stated
   • Tentative: "We're leaning toward X, pending Y." → record with note "[pending Y]"
5. Sort decisions in the order they were made during the meeting.

Output Format

## Decisions

### Decision 1: <brief title>
**Decided**: <full decision statement>
**Made by**: <person or "Group consensus">
**Rationale**: <reason given in transcript>
**Impact**: <what changes, or "Not stated">

### Decision 2: <brief title>
...

Quality Rules

• Decisions must be stated definitively. Do not reframe a discussion point as a decision.
• If a decision was tentative or conditional, mark it clearly as "[tentative]" or "[pending ]".
• Every decision must have a "Made by" attribution, even if it is "Group consensus."
• If no decisions were made, return "No decisions identified."
• Do not include action items in this list; they belong in the action items section.
