Outcome and handoff

A complete outcome records the exact final response or selected options, rationale, agreement status, reservations, dissent summary, approvers, and ratification time.

Handoff package

The handoff tab prepares a method-neutral brief containing:

  • decision statement and group summary;
  • selected options;
  • assumptions and constraints;
  • evidence used by the group;
  • unanswered questions and reservations;
  • next actions; and
  • the intended downstream Albarena method.

Use CBA to compare advantages, a Prioritization Matrix to score alternatives, SWOT to examine the situation around an outcome, Scenario Planning to test it across futures, Project Viability to test a proposal’s cash-flow case, or SPE to model causal performance relationships.

The handoff is input, not proof. The next method should preserve the workshop’s assumptions, evidence gaps, and minority record rather than treating the selected option as unquestionably correct.
