Fig.The Nexus cycle, from question to renewal. Design, not a record of a run.
The short answer.
Decide is step seven of the eight-step Nexus cycle: the step at which competent authorities and institutions decide under their own rules, with handoffs through Nexus Rails. It is owned by competent authorities and institutions, with handoffs through Nexus Rails. At this step GRF supports decision-makers without deciding for them, and the decision at the end of the cycle stays with the competent authority.

Fields of a decision record.
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| Decision holder | The institution and the organ that decided |
| Instrument | The act, resolution or minute in which the decision appears |
| Inputs referenced | Dialogue records and evidence briefs the holder chose to cite |
| Options not taken | As the holder reports them |
| Review date | When the holder plans to revisit |
A decision record is published only with the holder's agreement; its absence on this site does not mean no decision was taken.
