# Hearshift

Record what each piece of consultation input changed in the decision

Layer: Society · Category: Governance

## Mechanism

When input is gathered before a [Decision](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Decision.md), the decision record answers each input: what it changed in the decision, its reasoning or the options considered, or that it changed nothing and why.

## Invariants

- Each gathered input is answered in the decision record.
- An answer states what the input changed, or why it changed nothing.

## Failure modes

- Consultation theatre: input is gathered and never appears in the record.
- Loudest input: one input changes everything while others are set aside without reasons.
