T113 Client change decision log
Client change decision log

Every change Verrano Instruments has requested for the Verrano Summit 2026 on November 12 and 13, with its price and its decision, so that no work starts before the decision is recorded. Prepared by the Sablewood producer for Nathaniel Obuya, Head of marketing events at Verrano Instruments, and for Verrano procurement. Fourteen changes are logged: 6 included at no cost, 4 priced and accepted for $21,300 in total, 2 declined and 2 waiting on a decision.
Sample template: the firm, people, clients and figures are fictional, and the embedded view holds synthetic sample records.
Changes by area of the event
Read the table by row. Each row is an area of the summit and each column is a decision state, so the numbers across a row add up to the total for that area. Agenda and sessions has the most changes (4). Stage and set and Agenda and sessions each hold one change that is still waiting on a decision.

The Verrano Summit change log
The view lists the 14 changes of the Verrano Summit, one row for each, with its status, owner, producer, supplier, budget and approval status. Read the Approval status column first: 10 changes show Approved, 2 show Pending and 2 show Not requested because they were declined. The two Pending rows, Keynote stage layout and Customer panel session, are the ones that need Verrano this week.

What is waiting on Verrano
Two changes have no decision yet. Both will be priced before any supplier call, and both are decided by Oct 8.
Live example from the Dashboards app, shown with Verrano Instruments' demo data.
| Change | Status in the log | Needs | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keynote stage layout | Keynote format decision from Nathaniel Obuya; the staging quote expired on Sep 25 with a $3,200 reprice risk | Format by Oct 7, decision by Oct 8 | |
| Customer panel session | Price set by Sablewood; the room depends on the breakout room change | Decision by Oct 8 |
From requested to accepted
The chart starts at the 14 changes requested. It takes off the 2 declined and the 2 waiting, which leaves 10 that are included or priced and accepted. Those 10 split into 6 included at no cost and 4 priced and accepted.

The four outcomes, with the exact changes in each:
| Change | Area | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Stage extension | Stage and set | In production |
| Day 1 afternoon session | Agenda and sessions | Planning |
| Breakout moderator swap | Agenda and sessions | Complete |
| Late registration desk | Registration and badging | Planning |
| Gluten free station | Catering and hospitality | Confirmed |
| Keynote speaker hotel night | Speaker travel | Planning |
The stage extension is on this list because Sablewood absorbed its cost, as the callout below explains.
| Change | Supplier | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keynote stage lighting | Pennywhistle Audio Visual | $8,200 | Confirmed |
| Day 2 closing extension | Pennywhistle Audio Visual | $5,400 | Confirmed |
| Plated lunch upgrade | Fairweather Catering | $4,700 | Confirmed |
| Speaker highlight reel | Quillhaven Film Studio | $3,000 | In production |
The four prices add up to $21,300.
| Change | Supplier | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Late night reception | Fairweather Catering | Declined; no supplier work booked |
| Same day video edit | Quillhaven Film Studio | Declined; no supplier work booked |
Both rows show Complete in the log because the decision is closed.
Keynote stage layout and Customer panel session. Both are in Client review and both need a decision from Nathaniel Obuya by Oct 8.
No work before a decision
Stage extension: started before any decision, $1,900 absorbed
The request to extend the main stage reached a Sablewood producer by text message during a site visit. Work started on Aug 18 with Brindlemoor Staging and the request never reached the change record until Brindlemoor invoiced it. Sablewood absorbed the $1,900, so Verrano pays nothing for it, and the change is included at no cost.
Why it matters. This is the one change in the log that started before a decision. It is the reason the rule above exists and the reason the log counts work started before decision. The extension is still In production and due Oct 8.

Approval steps for a client change
A change is real when it has a price and a decision in the log. Until then it is a question, and no supplier gets a call.
How to use this template
