One record for every call your team makes.
Because notices decisions as they happen, drafts the record for you, and keeps it linked to the thread it came from and the calls that come after.
It knows what a decision sounds like.
Most messages are just talk. Because looks for the moment a thread turns: a choice gets named, a reason gets given, and the people who matter agree.
- Works across tools. Slack threads, Linear comments, PR reviews and meeting notes.
- Waits when it’s unsure. A thread that’s still a question stays a conversation.
- Learns your team’s phrasing. Dismissed drafts teach it what not to flag.

ConversationLeaningDecision
Nothing is settled until a person says so.
Every record starts as a draft, sent to the people in the thread. They can confirm it, fix the wording, or throw it away. Try it.
- One tap in Slack. The draft arrives as a message with the same three buttons.
- Edits stay honest. Every change is kept in the record’s history.
- Dismissed means gone. A thrown-away draft is deleted, not archived.
Four lines that save a forty-minute meeting.
Every record answers the same four questions, so a new hire, a future you, or an auditor can read any decision in under a minute.
- What we choseOne sentence, written as the outcome rather than the debate.
- BecauseThe reasons, quoted from the thread and linked to the exact message they came from.
- Instead ofThe options that lost. Half of “why” is knowing what else was on the table.
- UntilA revisit date. When it comes round, the people who decided get a nudge.
Decisions change. The trail keeps the plot.
When a new call replaces an old one, Because links them. Pick any point on Pawpaw’s checkout trail to see what was decided and what it replaced.
Good decisions expire. Because remembers when.
Each record can carry a revisit date. When it comes up, the people who made the call decide whether to keep it, change it, or retire it.
- Keep restarts the clock and notes who checked.
- Change opens a new draft that links back to this one.
- Monthly digest of what’s due goes to each team lead.
