A research canon for one decision object that can stay light for an informal choice and can carry authority, effects, and learning when the decision governs later decisions.
- A running decision service, approval UI, or policy engine. `informed-decision` owns the presentation and binding surface for decisions that already exist.
- InfoTechCanon shared roots, including identity, evidence, and generic governance vocabulary. Later mappings import them.
- Security authority vocabulary. That canon is `security-canon`.
- A normative JSON Schema, a conformance suite, or a frozen kernel. `DecisionObjectSchemaDraft.md` keeps field names unfrozen. Kernel freeze is research milestone M2, after comparative examples.
- Replacing existing decision-analysis methods, requiring quantitative analysis of every decision, forcing one workflow, or collapsing values, evidence, uncertainty, and authority into one score. Those limits are in `INTENT.md`.
Milestone M0, the concept seed, is in the repository. [DECISION-WP-0002](workplans/DECISION-WP-0002-schema-probe.md) added six illustrative examples and `reviews/schema-pressure.md`. [DECISION-WP-0003](workplans/DECISION-WP-0003-kernel-proposal.md) recorded a kernel proposal in `reviews/kernel-proposal.md`. The proposal is not adopted. `DecisionObjectSchemaDraft.md` is still the unfrozen draft, and there is still no validation command and no normative schema.
