Decision Tracer
Trace non-decisions, test decision theories and track new decisions.
Trace where missing decisions cost working time, test theories about decisions and non-decisions against your evidence, and track the embedment and impact of new decisions over time.
The most expensive decisions are often the ones nobody takes
Organisations rarely lose time because of one bad decision. They lose it because of decisions that are postponed, unclear or never made: ownership nobody has defined, priorities left open, mandates that stop at the wrong level. The cost is spread across teams as rework, waiting, duplicate effort and endless alignment — and it is almost never visible in one place.
Decision Tracer makes that cost visible. It connects evidence you have already collected in Upgraded.today and shows where missing decisions affect working time, who is impacted and what to decide first.
Three ways to trace decisions
- Trace non-decisions. Link up to 12 Problem Tracker, Task Tracker, Alignment, Survey and Optimized Workflow initiatives. A deep-dive analysis identifies where a lack of decisions leads to internal issues or inefficient use of working time, with descriptions, visualisations and the people and teams impacted.
- Test your theories. Describe a theory about a non-decision or a decision in your own words. The analysis looks for evidence for and against it, gives a verdict with confidence, and shows the impact. Every previous investigation stays available.
- Track new decisions. Describe a potential decision, its purpose and the outcome you want. You get suggested KPIs, stakeholders, teams, impact areas and the business processes needed to succeed — placed on a timeline.
Follow the decision after it is made
Turn on weekly email check-ins from the start of the timeline. Each week you describe progress, add KPI values and upload documentation. Continuous AI analysis projects future results, shows which KPIs are on track and suggests where to improve to reach the goal.
Decisions shape how the organisation works every day — including the ones that were never made. Decision Tracer shows you both.
