Our decision log · 4 August 2026
Become organization-only and drop the individual product
HeldA real decision from building Decize, written down before the outcome.
- The decision
- Make an organization workspace mandatory. Remove the personal-journal product rather than maintaining both.
- Why, at the time
- The individual and team products were pulling the data model in opposite directions, and the research said the individual framing had a retention problem we had no answer for.
- What happened
- The model simplified sharply — every decision now belongs to an organization, and row-level security has one rule to enforce instead of two. It has held with no pressure to reverse it.
