Context
What the situation was, who it affected, and why it needed changing. The state of things before you touched it.
My role
What you personally did — and what you did not. Be specific about the difference between directing and doing.
Constraints
The regulatory, clinical-safety, technical and organisational limits you were working inside. Not "tight timeline".
What we did
The decisions, in order, and what each one traded away.
Outcome
What changed. Numbers only where you have them.
Reflection
What you would do differently, and the actual reason.
