## Outcomes

- A focused decision or design artifact that reuses earlier evidence
- Earlier canvas outputs are referenced instead of repeated
- The next decision, design step, or readiness gap is explicit

## How to use

1. Bring forward value, commitments, impact, location, capacity, and domain decisions. Compare only viable implementation styles.
2. Complete only the sections that add a new decision or refinement.
3. Carry the resulting decisions forward to the next station.

## Canvas guidance
