**Phase 4 (Audit): Optional, but recommended.** You can skip directly from phase 3 to `/fpf-5-decide`. This produces a valid Design Rationale Record (DRR). However, skipping audit is generally not recommended — the WLNK analysis and bias check typically take only a few minutes and often catch blind spots that would otherwise ship with your decision.

- Time-critical decisions where you've already done thorough evidence gathering

- Simple decisions with clear evidence and no competing hypotheses remaining
