Decision Pipeline

Purpose

The Decision Pipeline records material choices that are being explored but have not yet become approved corporate decisions. It prevents recommendations, preferences, and early assumptions from being mistaken for implemented facts. Once a decision-maker explicitly approves an item (with any required legal, tax, or professional review complete), it moves from here into governance/decision-log.md.

Active Items

ID Decision Area Current Position Status Owner Trigger for Decision Review Target
DP-0001 Business banking Venn is the current preferred option because it appears proportionate to a low-transaction, digitally operated corporation. Also gates whether the publishing imprint’s revenue should move from Arva personally to the corporation (see governance/decision-log.md, 2026-08-20). Corporate documents are on file; a step-by-step guide exists at company/strategy/venn-account-opening-guide.md — see below for status. Documentation ready (corporate documents on file; current BOWP and updated SIN available but not yet added to this repository) Arva Yusuf Ezzi and Vijay Panangipally Completion of account-opening review and founder approval 2026 Q3
DP-0002 Registered and records office Replace the current Vancouver service arrangement (Gordon J. Fretwell Law Corporation) with a compliant, lower-cost long-term solution. Research required Arva Yusuf Ezzi Review BC records-office requirements and available providers 2026 Q3
DP-0003 Jurisdictional structure Consider whether the BC corporation should later continue into Ontario. Deferred evaluation Arva Yusuf Ezzi Clear operating plan, professional advice, and cost-benefit review Before material operations
DP-0004 Corporate name and ownership structure Consider a future name change and whether Vijay should be added in a formal governance, officer, director, or ownership capacity — building on his existing Sales Manager role recorded in the organizational resolutions. Deferred evaluation Arva Yusuf Ezzi Legal and tax advice; confirmed long-term business model Before implementation
DP-0005 Corporate origin story and long-term vision Document why the corporation was created, its evolution from an immigration-driven filing to a potential multi-service family consulting umbrella. Partially resolved — see company/strategy/roadmap.md §2 Vijay Panangipally and Arva Yusuf Ezzi Founder alignment on scope before drafting a fuller governed publication Ongoing
DP-0006 Retirement of ezzi-clarity-os Delete the vijaybpanangi/ezzi-clarity-os repository once its content has been fully and verifiably adopted into this repository. Pending final confirmation Arva Yusuf Ezzi Explicit founder confirmation, separate from the adoption work itself Immediately after this repository’s adoption work is verified complete

DP-0001 — Account-Opening Document Checklist

Assembled 2026-08-24, ahead of opening the Venn corporate account. This is a working checklist for executing the decision above, not itself an approved decision — DP-0001 remains in this pipeline until the account is actually opened.

Corporate documents (all on file in this repository):

Personal documents for the account signer (Arva Yusuf Ezzi, sole director and 100% shareholder):

Venn’s own specific accepted-document list has not been independently verified against this checklist — confirm directly with Venn before submitting, particularly whether they accept the driver’s licence and bank statement as two distinct proofs or want further documentation given Arva’s current work-permit-bridging status.

Downstream consequence, not part of this docket: once the corporate account exists, the corporation can also enroll directly on Amazon KDP (rather than continuing under Arva personally, per the provisional arrangement recorded in governance/decision-log.md, 2026-08-20). For US tax purposes, the corporation can claim benefits under the Canada-US Tax Treaty (Article XII, royalties) via a completed W-8BEN-E using the corporation’s Business Number as its foreign TIN — no separate US EIN is required for this.

Governance Rule

An item moves from this pipeline to governance/decision-log.md only after the decision-maker has explicitly approved it and any required legal, tax, or professional review has been completed.
