Decision logging tool for teams

Create a tool that logs not just outcomes but the reasoning behind key decisions. Helps teams maintain institutional knowledge when people leave.

Why now

With remote work and turnover, companies are losing crucial decision context that isn't captured in standard docs.

Teams often forget why past decisions were made, leading to repeated debates and inconsistent direction.

Build a simple web app that captures decisions along with the context, alternatives considered, and who was involved.

Engineering teams and product managers would pay for better knowledge retention, especially during personnel changes.

Start with a Slack integration that turns decision threads into permanent records.

Challenge is getting teams to consistently use it rather than defaulting to meeting notes.
