Preserve why, not just the minutes.
Standard minutes record only the approved outcome. dhi preserves the reasoning: the precedents cited, the specific exceptions granted, the alternatives rejected, and the dissenting objections recorded.
Attributed Statement
Every factual statement is mapped to the speaker (first name and role) and recorded timestamp with source citations.
Preserved Dissent
Formal objections and minority reservations are preserved intact rather than flattened into artificial consensus.
Rejected Alternatives
Documents why alternative proposals, covenants, or pricing structures were declined during discussion.
Conditions Attached
Tracks mandatory covenants, verification deadlines, and required follow-up reviews attached to an approval.
Reconstructing an approval six months later
When an executive committee reviews an expansion request in August, dhi surfaces the exact rationale and condition established in March.
Waiver on inventory covenant granted (Vote: 8-1).
Mandatory verification threshold: Q2 commodity audit report.
Formal objection recorded by Elena (Chief Risk Officer).
“Unhedged commodity exposure exceeds prudent threshold for this facility size.”
Surfaced prior to \$22M expansion vote.
Elena's dissent and unfulfilled Q2 audit report presented to committee.
No finding is ever about a person.
dhi indexes decisions, precedents, conditions, and process exceptions. A person is never a subject of analysis, evaluation, or scoring. When dhi attributes a statement or dissent, it records what the role contributed to the deliberation record - nothing more.
