1. 01Name the project, version, and person coordinating the kickoff.
2. 02Work through each decision with its owner. Mark a check only when the supporting record is available.
3. 03Assign a next action and due date to anything unresolved, then circulate the agreed version.

Use this as an operating checklist. Project permits, safety requirements, employment terms, and local obligations need their own review.
