Every feature built for one purpose: decisions that can be defended.

Formal motions. Transparent voting. Immutable resolutions. An audit trail that tells auditors, lawyers, and challengers exactly what happened — who proposed it, who voted, how, and why.

Formal voting mechanisms

Three resolution types. One rigorous outcome.

In Decisio, the mechanism for reaching a decision is set on the motion — not improvised in the room. Three types, each enforced automatically: vote tallied against your threshold, consensus that requires alignment, or chair decides for delegated authority. No manual counting. No disputed outcomes.

  • Vote — Aye, nay, abstain, or recuse. Submissions are tallied automatically against your configured threshold. The most common resolution type for boards and committees.
  • Consensus — Agree or object. Designed for decisions that require full alignment, not just a counting exercise. A single objection means the motion does not pass.
  • Chair decides — A designated chair reviews all input and records the outcome directly. Built for delegated authority and advisory bodies where executive judgement is appropriate.
  • Configurable thresholds — Majority, supermajority (two-thirds), or unanimous. The threshold is enforced automatically — a motion cannot pass without meeting it. No manual counting, no ambiguity.
  • Quorum enforcement — Set quorum by count or percentage. A decision is not valid without sufficient participation, and Decisio will not let an under-attended vote produce a binding result.

Vote and Consensus resolution types are available on Professional and Enterprise plans. Chair Decides is available on all plans including Free.

Motions and seconding

Formal proposals, not vague suggestions.

Every decision deserves a clear, actionable proposal. In Decisio, motions are the specific answers to the question an issue raises — structured, tracked, and subject to a defined lifecycle from draft to resolution.

  • Clear proposals — Every motion has a title and description. The proposal is the record — write it like it will be read in an audit, because it will be.
  • Seconding — When enabled, a motion requires a second before the organisation's time is spent on a vote. Seconding confirms at least two people believe the matter deserves consideration — it does not imply agreement.
  • Competing motions — An issue can have multiple motions considered side by side. Different approaches to the same question get equal standing.
  • Defined lifecycle — Proposed, seconded, open, resolved, or withdrawn. Every status transition is recorded. No motion changes state without a traceable action.

Transparent voting

Independent thinking. Full accountability.

Decisio's transparent voting model is designed to prevent groupthink while maintaining a complete record of who voted, how, and why.

  • Before you vote — You can see who has submitted, but not how they voted. No anchoring to the first response. No bandwagon effects.
  • After you vote — Once you submit, you see how everyone else voted, including their justification. Full visibility, earned by participation.
  • Justifications — Every submission includes an optional justification field. The reasoning behind a decision is as important as the tally — and it is preserved in the record.
  • Vote changes — Participants can update their submission while voting remains open. Only the final submission counts toward the outcome.
  • Abstain and recuse — Abstentions count toward quorum but are excluded from threshold calculations. Recusals are excluded from both — designed for declared conflicts of interest.

Immutable resolutions

The decision record that cannot be rewritten.

A resolution is the formal, permanent record of what was decided. Once recorded, it cannot be edited, deleted, or backdated. This is not a design limitation — it is the point.

  • Resolution summary — A human-readable description of the decision, created from the motion that passed. Written once, preserved permanently.
  • Complete vote breakdown — Which motions passed, which failed, which were withdrawn. Every individual submission, with justification, attributed and timestamped.
  • Cited exhibits — Supporting documents and evidence linked directly to the resolution. The context for the decision travels with the record.
  • Full attribution — Who recorded it, when, and under what authority. The resolution is signed by the admin who created it, not generated anonymously.
  • Superseding — When circumstances change, a new resolution replaces the previous one. Both remain in the system, linked together. The full history of a decision is never lost.
  • Voiding — For procedural errors, a resolution can be voided. The original is marked invalid but never deleted — the correction is part of the audit trail, not a cover-up.
Resolution
Active

Exhibits and evidence

Every decision informed by evidence. Every exhibit on the record.

Exhibits attach supporting material directly to the issue where the decision is being made. They are part of the governance record — not buried in email attachments or shared drives.

  • Files — PDFs, spreadsheets, documents. Upload up to 10 MB per file directly to the issue.
  • Links — External resources, reports, and references. The source material is one click away from the decision it informs.
  • Text — Notes, summaries, and written context entered directly. No separate document needed for brief supporting material.
  • Events — Meetings, deadlines, and scheduled occurrences tied to the decision timeline.
  • Media — Video and audio. Recorded evidence attached where it belongs.
  • Exhibit lifecycle — Active, withdrawn, or superseded. Evidence cannot be silently removed. Withdrawn exhibits remain in the record with their status clearly marked.

Participant access

External stakeholders vote without the friction.

Not every decision-maker is inside your organisation. Participants are external stakeholders — advisory board members, consultants, committee appointees — who contribute to specific decisions without needing a Decisio account or access to anything else in your workspace.

  • Invited by email — An admin sends a secure, unique link to a specific issue. The participant clicks, joins, and participates. No signup form. No onboarding flow.
  • No account required — Participants authenticate via their invite link. They do not create a Decisio account, reducing friction and data collection.
  • Scoped access — Participants see only the issue they are invited to. No exposure to other issues, projects, or workspace content. Privacy is structural, not policy-based.
  • Full participation rights — Vote on motions and add comments on their invited issue. Exhibits can be submitted where issue permissions allow. All without creating a Decisio account.
  • Attributed and auditable — Every participant action is recorded against their email identity. Their votes, comments, and exhibits are part of the permanent governance record.

Roles and permissions

Clear authority. Appropriate access.

Governance requires defined roles with well-understood boundaries. Decisio separates what each role can do — from workspace administration down to individual vote submission.

  • Owner — Full control over the workspace, including billing, subscription management, and workspace deletion. The accountable party.
  • Admin — Manages day-to-day governance: invites members, creates issues, configures voting mechanisms, opens and closes polls, and records resolutions. Cannot access billing.
  • Member — Participates in the governance process. Views issues, proposes motions (if permitted), seconds motions, votes when invited as a participant, and comments. Cannot configure or administer.
  • Participant — External access scoped to a single invited issue. Votes, comments, and submits exhibits on that issue only. No visibility into the wider workspace.
  • Configurable permissions — Issue-level settings control whether members can propose motions and add exhibits, or whether those actions are restricted to admins. Governance rigour scales to your requirements.

Workspaces and projects

Organised by the groups that make decisions.

Workspaces and projects mirror how organisations actually structure their governance — by committee, department, or function. Decisions stay organised where they belong.

  • Workspaces — The top-level container for your governance. Each workspace has its own members, roles, billing, and projects — organised around how your committees and boards are structured.
  • Projects — Group related issues within a workspace. A board might organise projects by function — Finance, Policy, Personnel — so decisions are easy to find and review.
  • Public and private — Public projects are visible to all workspace members. Private projects restrict access to explicitly added members and admins. Sensitive committee work stays separate without leaving the platform.
