Decision Debt is the hidden tax your team pays every time a decision gets lost, forgotten, or buried in Slack.
You feel it when:
• “Didn’t we already decide this?”
• The same topic returns to every standup.
• New hires ask for context on choices from months ago.
• Projects stall because nobody knows who owns the decision.
Teams feel it every day.
Almost none can measure it. That’s what this audit is for.
Who this audit is for
Built for teams who:
• Live in Slack as their primary communication layer
• Are 20–200 people and feeling growing pains
• Keep re-deciding the same topics
• Have Ops, PMs, or leadership asking “Why are we so slow on decisions?”
If that sounds familiar, this audit will give you language + numbers to describe a problem you already feel.
What you’ll walk away with
In about 10 minutes, you’ll receive:
• A Decision Debt score out of 125 (your overall risk level)
• A category breakdown across: lost decisions, re-decisions, ownership, context, and follow-through
• A simple prescription showing exactly what to change this week
• A narrative you can use with leadership to drive alignment
It’s fast.
It’s objective.
It reveals where your momentum is leaking.

You get category-level insights and a prescription.
