Present: Proposer presents problem, solution, trade-offs. 15-20 minutes. No interruptions yet.
Clarify: "What questions help you understand the proposal?" Not criticism, genuine questions.
Evaluate: "What are strengths? What concerns do you have?" Go around table; every voice heard.
Resolve: Address concerns. "That's a real risk. How do we mitigate it?" Adjust design or document risk as accepted.
Decide: "Based on discussion, I'm approving this with conditions: [list]. We'll revisit risk [X] in 2 weeks."
Document: Approved, conditions, open risks, next steps. Send within 24 hours.
