Meet Decision Referee.
A Slack integration that sits quietly in your workspace and speaks up when it matters. Before a decision gets locked in, Decision Referee gives your team a structured, neutral take on what could go wrong and what to do about it.
A structured assessment, every time.
Every check opens with a clear signal, so your team knows immediately whether to proceed, pause, or stop — before they read anything else.
Risks you didn't think of
Decision Referee separates the risks you flagged yourself from the ones you missed entirely. The missed risks are the ones that matter — and they're always specific to your decision, not generic warnings.
On deep analyses, the risks you flagged yourself are validated or challenged too.
Success likelihood + what it hinges on
A 0–100 probability score for your stated goal, plus the single most important variable the score depends on. If that variable is unverified, you'll know what the real number looks like.
The score sensitivity field is the one thing most teams say changes how they read the result.
A concrete recommendation
One clear next step, not a list of options. Includes the three most likely failure points for this specific decision, each with a named mitigation. If the score is very low, a safer alternative instead.
The goal is always to give you something actionable, not just analysis.
Three commands. Same quality, different depth.
Not every decision needs the same level of analysis. Decision Referee gives you three commands so you can match the depth of the check to the weight of the call.
/decide_simple
~30 seconds
Quick check
The fastest way to run a check. Title, description, and decision type. You get a clear signal, an impact rating, a success likelihood score with what it hinges on, and a single concrete recommendation. Good for lower-stakes calls where you just want a sanity check before moving on.
/decide
~2 minutes
Standard check
The default command. You add your goal and impact level on top of the basics, and Decision Referee returns the full output: signal, firm fit check, risks you missed, score sensitivity, and a recommendation with specific failure points. This is the one most teams reach for day to day.
/decide_deep
~5 minutes
Deep check
For higher-stakes decisions where you want the most thorough analysis possible. You walk through assumptions, stakeholders, key risks you've already identified, and alternatives you've considered. Decision Referee validates what you flagged, surfaces what you missed, and challenges your reasoning before responding.
All three commands are available on every plan. No feature gating.
One command. That's your entire workflow change.
There's nothing to learn, no new interface to open, and no process to follow. You use Slack exactly as you do today. The only difference is that before you commit to something important, you type one command first.
A short modal opens with a few guided fields: the decision, your goal, the decision type, and the impact level you expect. No special format required — just describe it the way you would to a colleague.
/decide Should we delay the release to fix this bug?
Your firm profile is a short setup you complete when you install. It tells Decision Referee about your team, goals, risk tolerance, and strategic focus so the output is calibrated to your situation — not just generic advice. Every check is cross-referenced against it automatically.
Your team sees the signal, the risks they missed, the success likelihood and what it hinges on, the firm fit check, and a recommendation — right there in the channel. Everyone's looking at the same neutral assessment. Then you decide, as you always would.
See a real /decide check from start to finish.
It knows your team because you tell it to.
When you install Decision Referee, you run a one-time setup command that builds your firm profile. This is what makes every check specific to your situation rather than generic — and it's what enables the firm fit check on every standard and deep analysis.
The better your profile, the better every check. You can update it any time as your team or priorities change.
Set once during install. Update whenever you need to.
The decisions it's built for.
Decision Referee is designed for the everyday, high-stakes calls that get made quickly in Slack. Not the big strategic ones you spend weeks on, but the ones that quietly pile up and quietly cost you.
Should we build this now or push it? Cut this feature or keep it? These small calls compound fast.
Cutting or adding scope mid-sprint has downstream consequences that are easy to underestimate in the moment.
Who works on what. Whether to bring someone in or stretch the current team. Time and people are your most limited resources.
Changing how your team works often has unintended effects. A quick check before rolling something out can save a lot of undoing.
Who owns this? Should we delay? Is this good enough to ship? Decisions made at the end of a sprint under pressure.
The day-to-day calls that don't feel strategic but quietly shape how the team moves. Things like vendor choices, tooling, and communication decisions.
Decision Referee is not a replacement for legal counsel, financial advisors, HR professionals, or compliance teams. For any decision in those areas, please use the appropriate specialist. Decision Referee is also not a decision-maker itself. It informs your judgment, it doesn't replace it. Your team always has final accountability.
See it for yourself in two minutes.
Install takes less than two minutes and there's nothing for your team to set up
on their end. Just add it to Slack, complete the firm profile, and type
/decide
on your next real decision.
