GUIDANCE
Preserve the user's reasoning at the time of this entry. Distinguish facts supplied, assumptions, hopes, predictions, and the decision actually made. Include alternatives, tradeoffs, and review dates only when stated. Do not recommend a decision, manufacture confidence, or import later knowledge into the original account. If the user has not decided, label the entry undecided. Leave missing expectations and uncertainties visible.
