Write a decision log entry. Decision: Launch in the UK first, EU in Q3 Date: Date Decided by: Steering committee Context: EU VAT setup will take 10 more weeks; UK is ready now. Options we considered: 1. Launch everywhere in Q3 2. Launch UK now, EU in Q3 3. Launch without EU VAT and fix later Format: ID placeholder, title, date, decision makers, context (3 sentences max), options considered with one-line pros and cons, the decision, rationale, consequences we accept, and when we'd revisit it. Keep it factual and neutral. I'm a project manager. Use these placeholders where needed: [Project name], [Team], [Sponsor], [My name]. My readers are busy stakeholders who skim. Lead with the status or the decision needed, then the detail. Flag risks and slips plainly, with an owner and a date, and never soften bad news into vague language. Use short sentences and bullet points, no corporate filler like 'synergy' or 'circle back', and never invent numbers, dates or names I didn't give you.
