DICTAMEN DECISION RECORDDDR-2026-047 · STRATEGIC CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT

North Coast Landbank — Phase II

CONDITIONAL GORatified by Investment Committee · 15 April 2026

Rationale: Phase I returns validate the thesis. Phase II expands the position with disciplined gating around infrastructure delivery and offtake commitments before second tranche release.
Captured Dissent: CFO recorded reservation on the leverage profile assumed in the base case. Outside member flagged regulatory timing risk in the catchment.
Conditions: — Second tranche release
— Verified infrastructure milestone
— Two anchor offtakes signed
Review Trigger: Q3 2026 — or earlier if any tranche condition slips by 30 days

The common decision object

Four primitives. One artefact.

Context

Memo, model, assumptions, confidential constraints.

Challenge

Structured review when useful: roles, expert frameworks, asymmetric disclosure.

Record

Recommendation, rationale, captured dissent, conditions, owners, next steps.

Memory

Permanent ID, retrieval, precedent, condition tracking, outcome review.

Entry modes

How decisions enter Dictamen.

Manual post-meeting logging

For decisions made in the real room. The organisation can still capture what happened in Dictamen format.

AI-assisted decision session

Structured challenge and a high-quality draft. The output lands as a draft, not an approved commitment.

Document import

Pull in the memo, model, and materials so the record assembles from existing sources.

The governance layer

Draft. Proposed. Ratified.

Draft

AI or manual outputs land here. Nothing is binding.

Proposed

Reviewers see the full record, apply Ratify, Approve with Conditions, or Request Changes.

Ratified

The record becomes the canonical artefact. Conditions tracked to owners. Review triggers active.

The archive & retrieval

Retrieval returns reasoning. Not just documents.

Every decision carries a permanent ID, status, and conditions. The archive surfaces precedent when the next similar decision arises.

Integration posture

Model-agnostic. Designed to be queried, not to compete.

Dictamen is built so Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and internal copilots can query the decision archive via API/MCP. The record is the source of truth — the assistants are the surface.
