Turn Slack debates into decisions with a deadline
A long thread and a row of thumbs-up rarely add up to a decision. Verdo runs a structured vote right in Slack, with a method, a deadline, an authority rule and a named owner, then writes down what happened.
$49 per workspace, per month · 7-day free trial. Per workspace, not per person. No free tier.
One vote each. One clear question.
Every voter picks one option. Keep each decision to one real choice and let the authority rule turn the votes into a result.
Single choice
One vote each, from the message or a link. The authority rule set at creation decides what counts as a result.
Anonymous mode
Hide who voted for what while participation stays visible. For hiring calls and anything where seniority in the room skews an open vote.
Decide who decides. Before the vote, not after.
Every decision carries an authority rule. It is set at creation, visible to everyone, and applied automatically at the deadline — so nobody argues about what the numbers meant once they can see them.
Majority
An option needs votes from more than half of the people invited. If none gets there by the deadline, the decision stalls rather than quietly picking the most popular option.
Consensus
Everyone votes and everyone agrees, or it doesn't pass. For the decisions where buy-in matters more than speed.
What turns a vote into a decision
A named owner, every time
Not a suggestion field. Every decision has one person tagged in Slack who is accountable for the follow-through, and they are the one the outcome review goes to.
Deadlines that enforce themselves
Set the deadline at creation. Verdo sends one DM at 24 hours and one at 1 hour before the deadline, to non-voters only, then closes the decision and applies the authority rule on its own.
Anonymous mode
Hide who voted for what while keeping participation visible, so you can still see who showed up. For hiring, compensation, and anything carrying a power dynamic.
Decision lifecycle
Active · Decided · Implemented · Stalled · Superseded · Reversed. Status changes are logged and searchable, so “why did we do this?” has an answer six months later.
Outcome review
30 days after a decision, the owner gets one DM: Success, Partial, or Failed. One tap. It is the only way to learn which decisions — and which decision-makers — to trust.
Audit trail
Every mutating action writes an audit log row: who created it, who voted, who changed the status and when. Audit log export is planned for Business.
