Inside the resource
A structured sequence for an accountable discussion.
Each section creates space for evidence, decisions, named owners and unresolved questions.
Decision points
Separate known evidence from assumptions that require resolution.
Message schedule
Separate known evidence from assumptions that require resolution.
Sign family
Separate known evidence from assumptions that require resolution.
Accessibility and legibility
Separate known evidence from assumptions that require resolution.
Materials and fixings

Fabrication and installation review
Record the decision, owner and next review point.
Facilitation guidance
Use the document to expose differences—not hide them.
Walk each priority route in both directions. Record uncertainty before proposing a sign; the solution may be naming, architecture or service communication.
This resource provides general planning guidance. It is not legal, financial, regulatory or accessibility advice.
Act the decision
Use the resource before the meeting.
Complete the sections that affect what decision is the person trying to make here? Then use the review to agree evidence, ownership and unresolved decisions.
