The model
Trace the route from delivery evidence to sponsor discussion. Every summary removes detail; every intermediary adds interpretation. The gauge identifies where the important trade-off disappears and how it can reach the sponsor without requiring everyone to attend every meeting.
- 01Evidence
- 02Interpretation
- 03Choice
- 04Decision
In practice
A team needs a scope decision. By the time the issue reaches the sponsor it has become a request to note progress. The gauge restores the choice, its consequences and the decision date to the short briefing.
