Decision Accounting Reference Implementation

Make consequential decisions reconstructable.

Steadfastly is a reference implementation for structured, pre-decisional Decision Records: evidence, authority, uncertainty, alternatives, predictions, system effects, and triggers for reconsideration.

One decision contract, three implementation surfaces

Portable core

A vendor-neutral system of record for committed decision rationale and supersession history.

Microsoft 365

A working reference implementation with Decision Record drafts, committed-memory retrieval, and human review of agent-originated records.

Copilot actions

Declarative-agent actions for drafting, reviewing, committing, and retrieving records in enterprise workflows.

Evidence before claims

The accompanying Calvano algorithmic-pricing experiment found that a record alone produced little deterrence when no reader could attach a consequence. Steadfastly is designed around that result: records must be reviewable, attributable, and connected to an accountable decision process.
