This readable worksheet is for local notes only. It cannot satisfy the closed
decision-bundle schema and is not input to the validator. Use the fingerprinted
JSON template for any future structured decision. This worksheet appoints
nobody and records no completed review. Do not put identity documents, private
contact data, medical or accessibility records, confidential conflict evidence,
controlled material, or exploit details here. Keep notes offline until a
separately authorized private handoff exists.
