COMPEL Glossary / GL-42
Gate Review Decision Record
The formal record of a stage gate review decision — documenting the inputs reviewed, the pass/fail outcome, the conditions or exceptions attached to the decision, the named decision-makers, and any required remediation actions before the next gate.
What this means in practice
It creates an auditable chain of governance decisions across the entire COMPEL lifecycle.
Context in the COMPEL framework
Produced at each COMPEL stage gate (C, O, M, P, E, L). Gate Review Decision Records are mandatory components of the Evidence Pack and demonstrate that progression through the lifecycle was governed, not assumed.
Where you see this
Gate Review Decision Record is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Calibrate , Organize , Model , Produce , Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
