Decision Loop

1. On the dashboard, click + Add decision in the top-right.
2. The Log a decision dialog opens. A progress bar tracks the required fields.
3. Fill in:
   • Decision title (required) — short and specific, e.g. Hire a senior backend engineer.
   • Category (required) — pick one of Hiring, Product, Sales, Finance, Strategy, Tech, or Marketing.
   • Confidence level (required) — Low, Medium, or High.
   • Review timing (required) — 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days from today. Nautis will surface the decision again on that date.
   • Reversible? — toggle on if you can roll the call back, off if it's a one-way door.
4. Optionally:
   • Link to milestone — connect the decision to an active task-board milestone so the context follows it.
   • Click Use template above the reasoning box to seed the form with a structured prompt for that category.
   • Fill Short reasoning (what mattered most), Key assumptions (what has to be true for this to work), and Expected outcome (how you'll know it worked).
5. If your Burnout Radar score is high or this decision is irreversible, you'll see a warning suggesting a 24- to 48-hour pause. Take that seriously.
6. (Optional) Expand SWOT Context to bring in weaknesses and threats from your latest SWOT analysis as a sanity check.
7. Click Save decision.

The decision lands at the top of the Timeline tab with Pending review status and a review date.

1. Scroll to the tabs and open Timeline.
2. Each row shows the decision title, category, the date logged, confidence, and current status: Pending review, Review due, or Reviewed.
3. Look for badges on rows:
   • High-risk week — your burnout score was high when you logged the call.
   • Irreversible — you marked it as a one-way door.
   • The milestone tag (if linked) appears next to the title.
4. Click View on a row to read the full record — reasoning, assumptions, expected outcome, and any review you've recorded.

1. When the review date arrives, the top status strip says "X decisions need review". Open the Timeline tab to find them — they'll be flagged Review due.
2. Click Review on the row to open the Decision review dialog.
3. Choose an Outcome:
   • Better than expected
   • As expected
   • Worse than expected
4. Add a short Reflection — what surprised you, what you got right, what you'd change.
5. Optionally click Generate reflection prompts for AI-suggested questions to deepen the review.
6. Click Save review. The decision flips to Reviewed and feeds into your dashboard stats.

1. Open the Timeline tab.
2. On any unreviewed row, click Edit.
3. The same log dialog reopens with your existing answers. Adjust any field and click Save decision.
4. Once a decision has been reviewed it locks — edits aren't allowed so the history stays honest.

You can also delete a decision from the row menu if you logged it by mistake.

1. Open the Insights tab.
2. Nautis shows charts that compare your Confidence vs outcome, outcomes by Category, outcomes by Burnout risk level the week you decided, and how on-time you've been reviewing.
3. Below the charts, AI insights describe the patterns in plain language — e.g. "High confidence with worse outcomes suggests possible overconfidence bias. Consider adding a 24–48 hour pause for similar high-stakes calls."
4. The summary cards at the top of the dashboard also surface your Confidence vs outcome count — the number of high-confidence calls that underperformed.
5. Open the Reports tab for downloadable summaries you can revisit during quarterly reviews.
