Company governance
Decision Queue
One company-wide register for choices that need evidence, discussion and an accountable conclusion. Each item states the actual question, a recommended starting point, what evidence closes it and the source that created it.
Frame
Agree on the exact decision—not merely the surrounding topic.
Challenge
Review the recommendation, risks, alternatives and missing evidence.
Decide
Name the accountable decision-maker, decision and effective date.
Propagate
Update the source document, roadmap, owner and dependent work.

Set the free-core product boundary
Which capabilities remain permanently free for Designers, and which services or advanced features can become paid?
Why this matters
Free access drives network adoption, but communications, AI, storage, support and transaction operations create variable cost.
Recommended starting point
Keep core CRM, Projects and invited collaboration free within fair-use limits; monetize transactions, managed services, premium automation, advanced reporting and excess usage.
Evidence required to close
Feature entitlement table, per-active-workspace cost model and three packaging interviews with Designers.

ProductReady to discuss
Choose the first Provider workflows to take fully live
Which Provider Categories receive deep operational portals first?
Why this matters
Nine Provider Categories are supported in the model, but building every category-specific workflow simultaneously would delay proof.
Recommended starting point
Launch Receiving, Warehouse & Storage plus White-Glove Delivery first, then Vendors & Product Suppliers; they create the clearest shared Item-status value for Designers.
Evidence required to close
Two live pilot Providers per selected category and a complete Project workflow test.

- Product + Operations
- Required timing
- Before Project Operations implementation is finalized

Set AI autonomy boundaries
Which AI actions may draft, recommend or execute without an explicit human confirmation?
Why this matters
AI can accelerate imports, proposals, communication and monitoring, but commercial, scheduling and Project data errors can create liability.
Recommended starting point
Allow drafting, extraction and anomaly detection; require confirmation for record creation from uncertain inputs, external messages, commitments, payments and status changes affecting other parties.
Evidence required to close
Risk-tier matrix, confidence thresholds, evaluation set and rollback/audit design.

- Product + Technology + Operations
- Required timing
- Before production AI workflows

Define Workspace branding limits
How much can Designers and Providers personalize their Workspace without weakening The Design Registry network identity?
Why this matters
Personalization improves adoption, but full white-labelling can hide the network, fragment support and reduce cross-party trust.
Recommended starting point
Support logo, colours, document templates and client-facing presentation themes while retaining a subtle Registry service identity and canonical interaction patterns.
Evidence required to close
Three branded Workspace prototypes and feedback from Designers, Providers and Clients.
- Decision owner
- Product + Brand
- Required timing
- Before client-facing customization
Closure standard
A discussion is not a decision until the source changes.
