Capture why requirements changed, which questions were resolved and how a final configuration was selected.
Record reasons, not only scores
A shortlist score can be difficult to interpret months later. A decision log adds the reason behind each requirement and the evidence used to assess it. For a JLT CO₂ comparison, record the models considered, the proposed configurations and the documents reviewed.
Separate facts from preferences
A confirmed accessory list is different from a preference for one interface. Label each entry accordingly. If a point remains unresolved, state the question and its owner rather than filling the gap with an assumption. This makes the log useful to people who were not present at the demonstration.
Track changes in the proposal
Quotations can change as accessories, training or support arrangements are clarified. Record which revision the team evaluated and why a change was accepted. Comparing an earlier proposal for one model with a later expanded proposal for another can otherwise produce an unfair comparison.
Make the final handover understandable
At the end of the process, summarize the selected configuration, remaining conditions and responsible reviewers. Keep regulatory and clinical approvals within their relevant professional processes. The decision log should explain the equipment choice transparently; it is not a substitute for a contract, an operating manual or authorization to perform a procedure.
