Lay out the options. Drop the evidence. Ask your team. Lock in the why — so everyone knows why, not just what.

do we ship?
Big calls happen in DMs,
then quietly vanish.
A team-wide question gets debated in Slack for an hour, a few people weigh in, someone calls it. A month later no one remembers why — or who agreed. So the argument restarts from scratch.

Three moves.
No more flip-of-a-coin.
Lay out the options.
Start with the question your team is actually debating. Add the choices. They sit side-by-side so nothing gets buried in the thread.
Share. Gather input.
Send the link in Slack or DMs. Anyone with the link votes anonymously and leaves their reasoning. You see the full picture as it comes in.
Lock in the why.
Pick the winner. Write the rationale. The page becomes a permanent record — readable a year from now, defensible in any retro.
Which onboarding flow do we ship?
The team weighs in.
Sarah: "new users drop at empty state"
Jamie: "faster to ship, less context."

“The team flagged activation drops off without hand-holding. Sample-data is faster, but doesn’t teach the workflow.”
Share early. Vote. Lock in the why.
Every decision gets a clean public link. Drop it in Slack, send it to your team, post it in the group chat. Each person votes anonymously and leaves their reasoning — you see the full picture before you commit.
Voting + per-vote notes from everyone you share with.
Side-by-side options with weighted scoring.
Evidence attached to the option it backs.
The final call & rationale, locked at the top forever.

Sarah: ‘New users dropped at the workspace step in v1.‘
Linear's onboarding teardown
The decisions a team remembers why they made are the ones nobody re-litigates — even when they don’t work out.
