Turning delivery work into a decision journal
A delivery journal is useful when it records constraints, rejected options, accepted tradeoffs, and the rule created.

Most engineering writeups lose their value because they flatten decisions into outcomes.
Better framing
Capture the following:
- the constraint that actually mattered
- the tradeoff that was accepted
- the operating rule created by the decision
That structure is more reusable than a timeline.
