DECISION WORKSHEET — YENRA
Purpose: record one operational decision and the evidence needed to review it.
Guide: https://yenra.com/critical-thinking-and-creative-problem-solving/
Use: complete sections 1–4 before acting; record outcomes in section 5.
Keep personal or confidential case information in approved systems.

1. FRAME
Decision owner / date / decision deadline:
Observed problem, period, and affected people:
Source case records and definitions:
Decision scope and mandatory constraints:

2. EXAMINE
Observation / supporting record:
Possible explanation / what would contradict it:
Missing evidence / owner / collection date:
Successful cases to compare:

3. COMPARE (repeat for each alternative, including keeping the current process)
Alternative:
Mandatory constraints passed and evidence:
Expected benefit / assumption / how to test:
Implementation and continuing effort:
Failure case / reversibility:
Criteria and, if used, explicitly defined weights and scales:
Would plausible changes to weights or evidence change the preferred option?

4. PILOT
Chosen option and reasons; alternatives deferred and why:
Cases eligible for the pilot and observation period:
Baseline counts, units, and definitions:
Expected result; added work or other effects to measure:
Stopping rule and recovery route:
Person authorized to stop or expand:

5. REVIEW
Observed counts, denominators, period, and effort:
Differences in workload or case mix:
What the result supports; what remains uncertain:
Continue / adjust / stop; owner; next review date:

Fictional arithmetic reference: 6 late jobs / 20 = 30%; 2 / 20 = 10%.
The decrease is 20 percentage points. Small nonrandom groups do not isolate
the cause of a change. Verify all figures against the source case log.
