Open Questions & Pending Register

Everything the prototype cannot decide on its own — in one place. Every open decision is a numbered question with our assumed default (so nothing is left blank), and every placeholder figure in the prototype is listed with exactly how it will be calculated once you supply the inputs. Nothing dead-ends: each item carries a marker and a resolution path.

❓ DECISIONA choice only your team can make. Has an assumed default until you answer.
⏳ PENDINGShown in the prototype but not final — awaiting your data. Calculation is defined.
◆ EXTENDS BRDLogic that goes beyond the current BRD draft; to be written into BRD v2.
ASSUMPTIONA placeholder we adopted to build; each maps to a question that confirms or replaces it.

How to answer — in Excel. Click ⬇ Download questionnaire for Excel to get every question with its section, why we’re asking, our assumed placeholder, the related prototype screen, and a blank “Your answer” column. Fill it in Excel and send it back. This page is a read-only reference — there is no in-browser answering. Each section below links to the prototype screen it relates to (Open … ↗), so you can validate before you answer. The same download is available from the header of the prototype and the Interactive BRD.

Section A · Decisions we need from you
