+# RecalibrationDecisionLog (RDL-) Guide
+
+## Purpose
+
+`RecalibrationDecisionLog` records every governance decision at a calibration
+checkpoint — whether the pipeline was recalibrated, refused, deferred, or
+partially updated — and preserves the evidence trail for each choice.
+
+## Schema Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `rdl_id` | str | yes | Unique identifier, must start with `RDL-` |
+| `pipeline_version` | str | yes | Pipeline version at decision time |
+| `calibration_checkpoint` | str | yes | Named checkpoint (e.g. `batch_3_review`) |
+| `decision_date` | str | yes | ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) of decision |
+| `trigger_type` | str | yes | What triggered the review (controlled vocabulary) |
+| `trigger_artifact_id` | str | yes | ID of the artifact that triggered the review |
+| `decision_outcome` | str | yes | `approved`, `refused`, `deferred`, `partial_approved` |
+| `decision_authority` | str | yes | Who/what made the decision (controlled vocabulary) |
+| `evidence_summary` | str | yes | Concise summary of evidence considered |
+| `rationale` | str | yes | Reasoning behind decision (≤500 chars) |
+| `next_review_date` | str | yes | ISO date for next scheduled review |
+| `conditions_if_deferred` | str | no | Required when outcome is `deferred` |
+| `notes` | str | no | Additional context (≤300 chars) |
+
+## Controlled Vocabularies
+
+**trigger_type:**
+- `batch_outcome` — triggered by batch result data
+- `calibration_performance_summary` — triggered by CPS- artifact
+- `scheduled_review` — routine scheduled checkpoint
+- `anomaly_detected` — triggered by anomaly detection
+- `human_request` — human reviewer requested review
+
+**decision_outcome:**
+- `approved` — recalibration proceeds
+- `refused` — recalibration rejected (see RRF-)
+- `deferred` — decision postponed pending more data
+- `partial_approved` — selective update to specific components
+
+**decision_authority:**
+- `automated_gate` — automated pipeline gate
+- `pipeline_owner` — pipeline owner
+- `external_reviewer` — external domain expert
+- `safety_officer` — safety review officer
+- `committee` — multi-member review committee
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+1. `rdl_id` starts with `RDL-`
+2. `pipeline_version` non-empty
+3. `calibration_checkpoint` non-empty
+4. `decision_date` is ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)
+5. `trigger_type` in controlled vocabulary (5 values)
+6. `trigger_artifact_id` starts with a known prefix (CPS-, DRM-, PCI-, BSP-, CIR-, RRF-)
+7. `decision_outcome` in controlled vocabulary (4 values)
+8. `decision_authority` in controlled vocabulary (5 values)
+9. `evidence_summary` non-empty
+10. `rationale` non-empty and ≤500 chars
+11. `next_review_date` is ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)
+12. `conditions_if_deferred` required when outcome is `deferred`
+13. `notes` ≤300 chars
+
+## Warnings
+
+- `refused` outcome: verify rationale cites a specific RRF- artifact
+- `deferred` with no notes: consider documenting deferral context
+- `notes` empty: consider adding context for future reviewers
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from openamp_foundry.evidence.recalibration_decision_log import (
+    RecalibrationDecisionLog, validate
+)
+
+log = RecalibrationDecisionLog(
+    rdl_id="RDL-20240315-001",
+    pipeline_version="v2.1.0",
+    calibration_checkpoint="batch_3_review",
+    decision_date="2024-03-15",
+    trigger_type="batch_outcome",
+    trigger_artifact_id="CPS-20240314-001",
+    decision_outcome="approved",
+    decision_authority="automated_gate",
+    evidence_summary="Brier score improved from 0.28 to 0.21 after batch 3.",
+    rationale="Metric improvement exceeds minimum threshold and is consistent across 3 cohorts.",
+    next_review_date="2024-06-15",
+)
+errors = validate(log)
+assert errors == []
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+- Triggered by: `CPS-` (calibration performance summary), `PCI-` (post-experiment intake)
+- Refused outcomes generate: `RRF-` (recalibration refusal record)
+- Approved outcomes generate: `CIR-` (calibration improvement record)
+- Feeds into: governance audit trail, decision pattern analysis
