Governance Deck

Why this exists

Run smarter, together

Two minutes

Most teams lose speed to the same thing: decisions nobody actually made. Everyone assumes there is alignment on who decides what, until something breaks and it turns out there never was. This app asks those questions directly, shows exactly where your team is aligned and where it is not, settles the open ones on the record, and turns the answers into documents your whole business can run on.

Fewer meetings

Everyone answers on their own time. No calendar hunt, no room, no anchoring on the loudest voice.

Less rework

Gaps show up at the start, not in launch week when they are expensive.

A faster yes

Settled decisions stop being reopened, so work moves and stays moved.

The loop

How it works, and what it asks

Two views, one deck

You answer questions privately, the app finds where your answers differ, a named decider settles each one with a reason attached, and the decisions become dated documents anyone new can pick up and follow.

Four steps, all on your own schedule.

01Answer

On your own time

Gather

Everyone answers privately, so nobody anchors on the loudest voice in the room.

02Resolve

Where answers differ

Align

Matching answers settle themselves. Only the real gaps need anyone's attention.

03Track

Every cycle

Measure

Each area climbs five stages, from no agreed rule to a team that corrects itself.

04Share

Yours to keep

Decide

Decisions become dated documents you can send, present, or hand to someone new.

Four teammates already answered async. Their answers are hidden from you, and yours is hidden from them. Pick honestly.

Setting it up

Levels

Who does what

Facilitator

Runs the round, settles open questions with a reason on record, and publishes the documents.

Leads

Run the deep pass first. They set the spine: truth signals, decision rights, and guardrails.

Team

Run the second pass. They pressure-test the spine against daily reality, which is where perception gaps surface.

Getting set up

Set your team up for success

1

Name the decider roles

Roles, not people. The deck asks who decides, so the answer has to survive turnover.

2

Invite by tier

Leads first, then the wider team. The two passes are what expose the gap between belief and practice.

3

Pick your first issue

One real, nagging problem. Broken components, overwritten files, or a word the team defines five ways.

4

Set the cadence

Diagnostics re-run quarterly or per engagement. The trend line is the product.

Going further

Going further

Bring this to your org

You can run everything here on your own. When a team needs to go wider than the app, there is a facilitated version: a printed card deck and a workshop that works through the same questions in a room, plus the broader method behind it. Worth exploring only if you want to take this further than the app.

Built by Shawn Capizzi. The method behind it is the Capizzi Process: listen first, make it visible, prove it worked.
