RDD 01
Build to Learn brief
Build to Learn brief
Name the decision pressure, unknown, candidate slice, stakeholders, and evidence needed.
Artifact library
Printable RDD templates for evidence, loops, and Freeze Gates.
A field-ready collection for creating the records RDD depends on: briefs, loop logs, delivery baselines, Reality Checks, and evidence ledgers.
The collection includes print-designed HTML files, PDF exports, and a README. The HTML files can also be opened in Word when a team wants editable working copies.
Mini preview
Designed to be printed, marked up, and carried into delivery.
RDD 02
Reality Loop decision log
Reality Loop decision log
Capture observed behavior, discrepancy, accepted behavior, rejected alternatives, and next move.
RDD 03
Freeze Gate delivery baseline
Freeze Gate delivery baseline
Record the evidence-backed boundary between Build to Learn and Build to Deliver.
RDD 04
Reality Check register
Reality Check register
Challenge accepted behavior against architecture, security, data, operations, and compliance.
RDD 05
Evidence ledger
Evidence ledger
Trace accepted behavior, decisions, rejected alternatives, checks, and production evidence.
Build to Learn brief
Use when the team needs to name the uncertainty a working candidate must expose.
- Fields
- Decision, stakeholders, constraints, candidate slice, expected evidence.
- Output
- A focused build brief for the first Reality Loop.
Reality Loop decision log
Use during sessions where stakeholders operate the candidate reality.
- Fields
- Observation, discrepancy, changed assumption, accepted behavior, next loop.
- Output
- A decision trail that survives the working model.
Delivery baseline review
Use when a slice is ready to cross from learning to engineering.
- Fields
- Accepted scope, rejected alternatives, known risks, required checks, handoff note.
- Output
- A baseline packet for Build to Deliver planning.
Copyable artifact structures
A template is only useful when it changes the conversation.
