Alignment
Easy alignment and negotiation on any internal topic or process design.
Describe the topic, invite everyone affected, and let each round end with a proposal that addresses the objections raised — until everyone accepts the same written agreement.
Every organisation spends time trying to agree: meetings that reconvene, email threads that loop, comment sections where opinions accumulate without converging. Alignment puts the topic, the people involved and the decision in one structured negotiation.
Write the problem statement and a first proposal, optionally attached as an image. Invite participants and observers by email — pasted straight from a roster — and each person receives a private link. A reminder email follows up 24 hours after the invitation, and anyone who has not reacted can be reminded again at any time.
Each round, participants comment or accept, and can attach images. Observers follow the discussion without voting. When everyone has reacted, the AI mediator rewrites the proposal so it addresses every objection raised — with a note explaining what changed and whose point it addresses — and generates a visual suggestion for the new round.
When every participant accepts the same proposal, the alignment closes with a written agreement: what was agreed, the main concerns raised along the way, and how the final version resolved them — alongside a visual of the agreed solution. The complete negotiation history can be exported to CSV.
Where agreement is supposed to happen — and doesn't
Most organisations align through meetings, email threads and document comments. Discussions reconvene, opinions accumulate without converging, and the eventual agreement ends up verbal, diluted or buried in a document nobody reopens. The people who were never asked still have to live with the outcome.
Alignment gives the topic one structured place: a problem statement, a proposal, the people involved, and a written path from disagreement to agreement.
Start with a statement and a proposal
The owner writes the problem statement and a first proposal, optionally attached as an image. Participants are invited by email — pasted straight from a roster — and each person receives a private link. The owner can take part in the negotiation as a participant, while observers follow the discussion without voting.
A reminder email follows up 24 hours after the invitation, and anyone who has not reacted can be reminded again at any time. Once the group agrees, the reminders stop.
Rounds that converge instead of repeat
Participants comment or accept, and can attach images that become part of the material. When everyone has reacted, the AI mediator rewrites the proposal so it addresses every objection raised — without losing the intent of the original topic — and a change note explains what was changed and whose point it addresses.
Each round is kept with its comments and a generated visual suggestion, so the road to the final version is on the record, not in someone's memory.
An agreement that is written down
When every participant accepts the same proposal, the alignment closes with a written agreement: one sentence stating what was agreed, and a summary covering the main concerns raised along the way and how the final version resolved them — illustrated with a visual of the agreed solution.
The complete negotiation history can be exported to CSV. And when the topic is requirements instead: from Requirements, disagreements can be sent straight into Alignment as their own negotiations, with the conclusions feeding back into the requirements round.
Alignment turns a disagreement into a written agreement everyone can point to — with every objection and every change recorded on the way.
