When I use devtools::check() on my package, it produces an error suggesting my example doesn't work. When just running the function normally outside of the package it works just fine, so I'm wondering what the issue could be?

It produces error:

 Error in UseMethod("decision_lm") : no applicable method for 'decision_lm' applied to an object of class "function" Calls: decision_lm Execution halted 

This is my roxygen skeleton

The error says no applicable method for 'decision_lm' applied to an object of class "function", which tells you that the object you passed to decision_lm is a function, not an object for which you've defined a method.

In fact, your example has decision_lm(fit1_lm), so it is trying to use the fit1_lm function as the argument, not the result of calling that function.

If you change your example to something like

#' fit <- fit1_lm(project2022) #' decision_lm(fit) 

it should work.
