Preserve what was promised.
Keep the statement, date, and source available so the next review has a clear starting point.
Keep commitments connected to the work behind them.
Track what was promised, when it is due, and what has to happen first. Give people and AI agents the context to follow through.
Understand the work behind the date.
Keep the promise and its source together.
A commitment can live in a conversation, a project update, or a customer plan. Connect the statement to its date, responsible person, and supporting record.
Keep what the source says separate from what has been confirmed. Missing dates and unclear ownership remain questions to resolve.

Follow the same commitment as the evidence changes. A new plan, a missed prerequisite, and a completion record each tell you something different.
Planned sequence
The prerequisite is scheduled before launch.
Migration plannedSeptember 14Prerequisite
Customer launchSeptember 18Recorded commitment
Rollout plan · September 10
The plan schedules data migration for September 14 and customer launch for September 18. Launch depends on the migration.
The planned dates are in sequence. Neither event is recorded as complete.
Next step
Confirm the migration is progressing toward the planned date.
When the date passes
A passed deadline is a reason to check the evidence.
The clock keeps moving even when the source goes quiet. Identify dated commitments that need review without waiting for another update to arrive.
No recorded completion does not prove the work failed. Inspect the sources and confirm the outcome before deciding what happens next.

Ask the responsible person
Is production access ready for validation?
Let the record explain how the commitment changed.
Keep earlier promises connected to later evidence. Understand the original expectation, the revised plan, and the outcome you can establish.
Make the change understandable.
Follow updated dates and scope back to the evidence. A new plan does not silently erase the earlier one.
Check what was actually completed.
Inspect the evidence for the promised work. Progress on a prerequisite is only part of the outcome.
Keep following the items that matter.
Add active concerns to your Watchlist. Follow material changes and keep resolved items available until you remove them.
Have questions?
Where do commitments come from?
Connected conversations, documents, and project records can contain evidence of a promise, responsible person, due date, or prerequisite. Extraction preserves the source and treats that evidence as an observed claim. Coverage depends on connected systems, source scope, and the information available in those records.
Does an extracted promise become a confirmed agreement?
No. Observing a commitment in a source does not silently turn it into a confirmed agreement. Where the commitment ledger is enabled, a party can deliberately declare a commitment or confirm an observed claim through the supported paths. Those records remain distinct from source observations.
What happens when a deadline passes?
Enabled deadline checks compare recorded due dates with the available evidence, even when no new source update arrives. A passed date without matching completion evidence can raise a concern for review. That is an inference about the record, not proof that the work failed. Check source freshness and confirm the outcome with the responsible person.
Can a late prerequisite affect another commitment?
Yes. Evidenced dependencies connect upstream work to a downstream commitment. An unresolved prerequisite can put an approaching date at risk. The assessment depends on the relationships and evidence available; it does not assume that every dependency in your business has been captured.
How are revised dates and completion handled?
Later evidence can update the current picture while preserving earlier claims and their history. A revised plan is different from completion, and a completion record for a prerequisite does not establish that the whole commitment was fulfilled. Matching and enabled review capabilities determine which evidence settles a concern; missing or ambiguous evidence may still need a person’s review.
Can I keep following a commitment after a review?
Add an active attention item to your personal Watchlist to follow its status, sources, and recorded developments. Material changes can notify you according to your access and notification preferences. Resolved items stay on your Watchlist until you remove them.
Will this change dates or make commitments on our behalf?
Monitoring and analysis do not authorize schedule changes or new promises. Use Ask to explore the implications and request supported actions within your authority. Required permissions, policy checks, confirmations, and approvals still apply to people and connected agents.
