The reasoning record

Why each exclusion was made, recorded at the time it was made.

What it is

Exclusions decay. An option refused in January returns in June with a new advocate and no memory of why it was declined, and is usually accepted the second time.

This is the cheapest component in the framework to produce and the most frequently absent. Ten minutes at the point of decision saves an argument a year later.
