Our decision log · 4 September 2026
Delete the per-member analytics screen rather than hide it
HeldA real decision from building Decize, written down before the outcome.
- The decision
- Remove the screen that showed one person’s decision record, and withhold any rate that could be traced back to an individual below five data points.
- Why, at the time
- A decision ledger is one product decision away from becoming an employee-monitoring tool, and a screen that merely sits behind a flag can be turned back on by anyone in a hurry.
- What happened
- The screen is gone rather than disabled. The organization dashboard is computed from a database view that physically contains no title, summary or message text, so a reporting bug cannot leak decision content into a chart.
Every entry in this ledger is real and was checked against the commit or migration that carries it. Want to keep your own this way? Start with the free decision log template.
