Y-Statement
A compact, sentence-first decision. Useful when the audience already knows the system and you need a single line in release notes or stand-ups.
The output starts with a single sentence of the form: context, concern, for/against, outcome, and explicit tradeoff. A short field list is repeated for diffs and reviews.
