The resulting structures are intentionally minimal yet expressive enough to capture the evolving task state and support dynamic visualisation and replay of the decision process. A web-based reference implementation of the model demonstrates how the evolving decision state can be inspected and replayed during analysis. Together with a suitable corpus, this framework provides a practical foundation for investigating the multimodal dynamics of collaborative decision-making in professional meetings."
