Decisions & proposals

Propose a decision, discuss it, and lock it on the record so the team has one source of truth.

When to use this: whenever the team makes a call worth remembering — an approach, a trade-off, a standard. Decisions are captured and locked so the next session reads them instead of re-litigating.

Propose the decision

State the decision and the options considered. A proposal lands in the relevant tray for review rather than taking effect immediately.

Proposing a decision

Discuss and resolve

Teammates weigh in. The owner (or lead) resolves the proposal — promoting it into a decision or declining it.

Resolving a proposal

Lock it

Once agreed, lock the decision. Locked decisions are the durable record — visible to everyone who joins later.

Single-writer workspaces route decision-opening through the lead, and the proposal tray is how non-leads get a decision onto the record.

Result

An on-the-record, locked decision. See the Decisions tools.
