Your team makes hundreds of decisions in Slack every week.
A senior dev proposes a tech stack. Someone pushes back. After 47 messages, you land on a decision. It gets buried in a thread. Six months later, a new hire asks why you chose that stack. Nobody remembers. You re-litigate the whole thing.
This is tribal knowledge tax, and it's bleeding your team dry.
The Problem
Decisions are scattered:
💬 Lost in Slack threads
📧 Buried in email chains
📝 Never written down
🤷 Context evaporates
Result? Onboarding takes forever. Context thrashing. Reinvented wheels. Your team spends energy rebuilding arguments instead of building features.
The Solution: Decision Log
We built Decision Log — a Slack app that captures why your team decides what they decide.
Here's how it works:
Log a decision in Slack — no context switching, no new tabs
Capture the reasoning — what you chose, why, and what you rejected
Reference it forever — new hire onboarding? Audits? Retrospectives? It's all there.
Decision Log becomes your team's institutional memory in a searchable database.
Why This Matters for Devs
Faster onboarding — New hires understand your "why" on day one, not month three
Better decisions — You see the actual reasoning behind past choices, not just the outcome
Reduced context thrashing — Stop re-litigating the same decisions
Audit trail — For compliance, retrospectives, or just "wait, what did we decide?"
