Our decision log · September 4, 2026
Delete the per-member analytics screen rather than hide it
HeldA real decision from building Decize, and what happened next.
- 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 computes its rates from a database view that physically contains no title, summary or message text, and looks titles up separately to label the decisions it lists.
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.
