Your team keeps re-opening decisions you already made.

Founder Decision Record is a simple team log for strategic and operational calls — context, options, outcome, review date. So nobody asks you “why did we choose this?” in next week’s meeting.

For founder-led teams of 3–15. Not another Notion template. Not an engineering ADR tool.

You’re not bad at deciding. You’re bad at remembering.

  • The call happened on Zoom. The reasoning lived in your head.
  • Three weeks later someone asks again. Same debate. Same tradeoffs. Same wasted hour.
  • Your Notion decision log died in month one. Your ADR tool only covers code.

The cost is real:

  • 15–20% of leadership meetings spent re-litigating prior decisions
  • 4 meetings in 90 days on the same policy — because nothing was written down
  • 2+ weeks stalled while everyone argues whether the original constraint even existed

You don’t need a governance consultant. You need a record your team can find.

One decision. One page. Everyone aligned.

Each record captures:

Field Why it matters
Context What forced the decision
Options considered What you ruled out — and why
Decision The actual call
Review date When to revisit — not by accident in another meeting
Status Proposed · Accepted · Superseded

Search past decisions in seconds. Onboard someone without a 45-minute oral history tour.

$19/month per team when we launch. Free for early teams who help us validate.

Who it’s for

  • B2B SaaS founders with 5–12 people
  • Remote or hybrid teams
  • You re-debated pricing, policy, or positioning in the last 90 days
  • You’re tired of being the only person who remembers why
  • Solo founders with no team decisions
  • Engineering teams that only need ADRs
  • Enterprises that need SSO on day one
“The worst part of being CEO isn’t making hard calls. It’s making the same hard call four times because nobody wrote down what you actually decided.” — Operator writing on decision capture (E2 signal cluster)
