Values First
Before any decision, the members find their shared values. Everything that follows is grounded in that; not in what's urgent, not in what's loudest, but in what the group actually values.
Consensus
Collective decisions, decomposed.
What if collective decisions were:
Built for Nuance
Ranked voting, not single choice. The group decides on a direction first, then works through the details. And partial participation still counts.
Anti-tribal
Submissions carry no names, no affiliations. There's no way to know which people or factions support an idea; ideas stand on their own merit.
Integrity by Design
Membership is closed and known. Results, timing, and social pressure are structurally prevented from reaching votes, which remain visible only to the voter.
Privacy by Architecture
Anonymity isn't a policy. Identity is never joined to activity — not in any circumstance or for any reason. It's a structural constraint, not a promise.
Consensus is that platform. It structures collective decisions the way they should be — piece by piece, from the ground up. A group starts with its collective values, surfaces the metrics that show whether those values are being upheld, identifies and prioritizes the issues those metrics reveal, proposes solutions, and works through the details of each. Nothing is bundled. Nothing skips a step.
This app is designed for defined groups with members making real collective decisions: co-ops, unions, political parties, associations, student unions, faith communities, and boards.
Consensus is currently in development. If you want to be updated about its development:
