Sample memo
Domain reviewed: customer account, as used by the official revenue report. Other domains were noted and not started.
| Recommendation | Why | Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Govern customer account before any other data set. | Two reports already use two meanings of “account,” and billing country is blank on open records. | Charter |
| Name one business owner and one steward. | Issues today have no accountable person, so they close only when someone happens to notice. | Ownership matrix |
| Approve one definition and retire the other. | The official report cannot be governed while both definitions stay in circulation. | Glossary entry |
| Add one quality rule for billing country. | The field is required for the decision and is already failing. | Quality rule |
| Do not start a second domain this quarter. | The forum does not exist yet. A second domain would produce documents and no meeting. | 90-day roadmap |
A real memo names your systems, your reports, and your people. The shape stays the same: a recommendation, a reason, and the artifact that carries it.
