Decision Accountability Platform
Git for organizational
decisions.
Every existing tool tracks tasks or goals. None track decisions. Chronovel makes decisions first-class objects — authored, timestamped, linked to authority, and tied to outcomes.
Currently in private development — be among the first to try it.
The problem
In most organizations, decisions are invisible.
A decision gets made in a meeting. It is never written down.
Six months later, nobody knows who decided or why.
The person who made it has moved teams. The outcome is blamed on the executor.
The next team makes the same mistake.
The people who benefit from opacity have structural power over those who don't.
Chronovel removes that asymmetry. Every decision is visible, attributed, and consequential.
How it works
Four steps to a decision-accountable org.
01
Write guidance
Anyone with authority writes a named rule, directive, or constraint — scoped to their domain and visible to everyone below them in the org chart.
02
Log decisions as they happen
When you make a call, log it as a Decision: what you chose, in what context, and why. If it deviates from existing guidance, a rationale is required. Every decision is timestamped and attributed.
03
Outcomes land back on decisions
Customer metrics, NPS, churn, and support data are ingested. AI attributes outcomes to the decisions and guidances that caused them.
04
Close the loop
Quarterly reports surface who made decisions, what those decisions produced, and how well each guidance held up. Bonuses and promotions get signal.
Two core objects
Guidance shapes the frame.
Decisions fill it.
Most tools collapse these two things. Chronovel keeps them separate — because they serve different purposes and carry different accountability.
A rule that constrains future decisions
Written by someone with authority — a VP, a team lead, a CTO. Scoped to their domain, versioned, and visible to everyone below them in the org chart. Guidance tells people what frame to operate in.
- –Has an author and a scope
- –Applies until superseded
- –Discoverable by anyone in the subtree
- –Feeds the AI agent for task interpretation
A logged choice and its rationale
Made by anyone in the org, at any level. A Decision records what was chosen, in what context, and why — including any guidances it consciously deviated from. Decisions are the unit of accountability.
- –Tied to a specific moment and context
- –Append-only — decisions don't get edited away
- –Deviations from guidance require a written rationale
- –AI attributes outcomes back to decisions
For individual contributors
Never wonder what you're allowed to decide.
Paste any task or ticket into Chronovel's AI agent. It reads your org's active guidance stack and returns a structured interpretation in seconds.
Paste the ticket
Drop any task, ticket, or decision description into the agent.
Agent reads the guidance stack
It checks all active guidances above your position in the org chart.
Get a structured interpretation
What you must follow. What you own. What you should escalate.
Act with confidence
No manager interruption required. Every interpretation is logged.

Task
Migrate user authentication to OAuth2 — ticket ENG-4821
Must follow
All auth changes require a security review before merge.
Maria C., CTO
OAuth2 providers must be on the approved vendor list.
James R., VP Eng
You decide
Choice of OAuth2 library — no guidance covers this. You own the call.
Escalate
Session token storage policy — no guidance exists. Suggest requesting from VP Eng.
"Every design decision should be evaluated against one question: does it make decisions more visible, more attributed, and more consequential?"
