Helping teams see what they really think
DecisionGrid was born from a simple observation: teams struggle not because they lack opinions, but because they lack visibility into each person's priorities.
The Problem We Solve
Every team has been there: a critical decision needs to be made, stakeholders have different priorities, and meetings multiply without resolution. Someone eventually makes the call, but nobody quite understands why — and half the team feels unheard.
The issue is that teams can't see what each team member and stakeholder actually values. When a VP prioritizes "time to market" and an architect prioritizes "technical debt," both are right — they just weight things differently.
DecisionGrid makes those weightings visible. When you see that the team agrees on 80% of criteria but diverges sharply on risk tolerance, you know exactly what needs to be discussed. The decision doesn't become easier, but it becomes clearer.
What We Believe
Clarity Over Consensus
We believe that agreement isn't always the goal of decision-making. Understanding is a worthy goal in and of itself. DecisionGrid helps teams see where they align and where they don't, so disagreements become discussions rather than roadblocks.
Structure Enables Speed
Good decisions don't happen by accident. A lightweight framework for evaluation helps teams move faster by making tradeoffs explicit and reducing endless debates.
Documentation Builds Trust
Decisions made in the dark breed resentment. By capturing the reasoning behind choices, teams build institutional knowledge and stakeholder confidence.
Simplicity Scales
Complex tools get abandoned. We focus on the essential workflow: define options, set criteria, score, and understand the results. Everything else is optional.
Our Design Philosophy
DecisionGrid is a judgment-clarity mirror, not an optimizer. We don't tell you what to decide — we help you understand what your inputs are saying.
This means we deliberately avoid features that would make decisions feel more "decisive" than they are. Disagreement is highlighted as signal, not noise.
The goal is legibility: making complex multi-stakeholder decisions discussable. When everyone can see the tradeoffs, the conversation moves forward.
