Where decisions
take root

A governance platform that treats every decision as a seed. Watch your organisation's institutional memory grow — traceable, reviewable, alive.

Stop losing governance knowledge to scattered emails, forgotten minutes, and departing board members. Start building a decision trail that teaches your organisation how to govern better.

The problem

Governance knowledge shouldn't walk out the door

Decisions scattered across emails, minutes documents, and informal conversations. No clear trail connecting a policy to the decision that created it, the rationale behind it, or the people in the room.

When board members change, institutional knowledge disappears. Organisations re-litigate old decisions, struggle to onboard new trustees, and find it difficult to learn from their own history.

Compliance tools solve for documentation but not learning. Collaboration tools solve for communication but not accountability. Neither builds institutional memory.

What Glade does

The decision log as the spine of your organisation

01

Decision log

Every decision recorded with context: who decided, how, why, and what happened next.

Tag by theme, link related decisions, track actions, schedule reviews. The searchable timeline becomes your organisation's institutional memory.

02

Living documents

Governance documents that trace back to the decisions that shaped them.

Click any clause to see why it exists. View any document as it was on any date. Version history shows what changed and which decision drove the change.

03

Structured proposals

A clear path from idea to decision, with discussion, amendment, and resolution.

Proposals link to affected documents and suggest appropriate decision methods. When resolved, governance documents are prompted for update.

04

Learning loops

Scheduled reviews that help your organisation learn from its own governance history.

Did we follow through? Did we decide well? Are we governing well? Three levels of reflection, prompted but never forced.

05

Meeting mode

Live facilitation tools that capture decisions as a natural byproduct of running a meeting.

Guided consent rounds, voting, advice process. Facilitator and participant views. Auto-generated minutes with decisions and actions.

06

Intelligent insights

AI that helps you see patterns in how you govern — never a decision-maker, always a reflective partner.

Surface recurring themes, generate review questions, suggest affected documents, produce governance digests and new member briefings.

How it works

Decisions have a lifecycle.
Glade makes it visible.

Not every decision reaches every stage. The platform supports scheduling reviews and prompting reflection, but never forces it. The goal is to make learning easy, not mandatory.

Each stage generates data that feeds the next. Actions track follow-through. Reviews surface patterns. Patterns improve future decisions.

Proposed

A proposal is created with rationale, context, and a suggested decision method.

Discussed

Async or synchronous discussion. Comments, amendments, questions from affected parties.

Decided

Decision made using the chosen method. Outcome, participation, and conditions recorded.

Implemented

Actions created and tracked. Governance documents updated if affected.

Reviewed

Structured reflection: what happened, what was expected, what surprised us.

Learned

Patterns synthesised. Insights feed back into future governance.

Decision methods

Not everything should be a vote

Glade supports the decision methods progressive organisations actually use, with guided flows — not just labels.

Consent

Adopted unless there's a paramount objection. The default for governance decisions.

Advice Process

Individual decides after consulting affected parties. Autonomy with accountability.

Consensus

Full agreement from everyone present. For the decisions that matter most.

Majority Vote

Simple majority carries. Quick and clear for binary choices.

Delegation

Authority granted within constraints. Scope, reporting, and review date recorded.

Lazy Consensus

Silence means agreement. Time-boxed objection window for low-stakes decisions.
