## Prompt

```text
Build a decision log from the notes of several meetings so my team has one place to see what has been decided.

**Project or team:** [NAME]
**Meeting notes, labeled with date and meeting name:** [PASTE EACH SET OF NOTES]
**Existing decision log (if any):** [PASTE or "none"]

Rules:
- Only log real decisions: something agreed by the person or group with authority. Proposals, preferences, and "we should probably" go in a separate "Not yet decided" list.
- If a later meeting changed an earlier decision, keep both entries: mark the earlier one "Superseded" and link it to the new one.
- Flag contradictions between meetings that nobody resolved.
- Do not invent owners, dates, or reasons. Use **[NOT STATED]** where the notes are silent.

Return:
1. The decision log as a table I can paste into Excel or a shared doc:
| ID | Date | Meeting | Decision | Decided by | Rationale (short) | Affects | Status (Active / Superseded / Under review) | Related actions |
2. **Not yet decided:** items discussed repeatedly with no decision, and how many meetings they have come up in.
3. **Conflicts to resolve:** decisions that contradict each other or were reversed without explanation.
4. A short note on how to keep this log updated after each meeting (who adds entries, when, and what counts as a decision).
```
