Statistical decision meeting record =================================== StatMedAnalysis | Original downloadable worksheet | 6 November 2026 Turn a methodological discussion into explicit decisions and follow-up work. How to use this worksheet Circulate the research question, evidence and unresolved alternatives before the meeting. Record each decision with the assumptions on which it depends. Separate agreed actions from topics deferred for further evidence. Assign owners and dates, then reconcile the written record with participants. Save a working copy and keep the original blank version. Use public, hypothetical or aggregate information only; do not enter patient identifiers, credentials or confidential records. Keep source evidence in your approved project workspace. Mark unresolved text fields UNKNOWN or NOT REPORTED with a reason; never substitute zero for an unknown count.

A decision record captures the reason for keeping them separate and the remaining sensitivity analysis. Decision rule and limitations Treat a decision as final only when its scope, rationale and responsibility are explicit. Attendance or silence alone is not documented methodological approval.
