Decided
by Northcairn
Run structured group decisions in Teams and capture the outcome as a Decision Record.
Teams make decisions in meetings and chat threads every day — and then lose them. Weeks later, no one remembers which options were considered, who preferred what, or why the chosen approach won. Decided gives that process a structure, and leaves behind a record.
How it works
- Prepare — pose the question, set out the options, and add any constraints the decision has to respect.
- Invite — share a join link with the people whose input matters. Participants rank the options in their browser, with no account or sign-in needed.
- Vote — everyone ranks the options in their own time. Ranked voting surfaces the group's genuine preference, not just the loudest voice in the room.
- Confirm — review the result and confirm the decision.
- Decided — Decided generates a Decision Record capturing what was chosen, what else was considered, and why. Export it as Markdown to keep alongside your project documentation.
Built for teams that need to show their working
- Product and project teams choosing between approaches, scopes, or sequencing — with a record that survives handover.
- Engineering and architecture teams producing decision records as a normal part of delivery, rather than writing them up weeks later.
- Any group that repeats the same decision-making process and wants it to be consistent, inclusive, and documented.
Everyone gets a say
Participants join by link and rank options without creating an account, so getting input from the whole group takes moments rather than an onboarding exercise. Rankings are gathered independently, so quieter voices count as much as louder ones.
AI-generated content
Decided uses AI to help you prepare a decision and to write up the result. When you frame a question, Decided can suggest options and constraints for you to accept, edit, or discard. When the decision is confirmed, Decided generates the Decision Record's summary and reasoning from the session's options, constraints, and voting outcomes. All AI-generated content is clearly marked in the app, and you remain in control — suggestions are yours to change, and the decision itself is always made by your team.
