Peak Docs / For leadership
The decision has been made.The why is already forgotten.
Six months later the team asks why things went this way, and nobody can find the trade-offs. In Peak Docs a decision memo captures options, reasoning and the decision in a decision block, and actions become tasks.

What's up for decision?
Choose the occasion. Memo, actions and sample note follow it.
Annual planning
Leadership has to choose between two growth paths.
- The action
- Set both options side by side in the memo and gather assessments as comments.
- The intent
- A decision the team understands later.

Frequently asked questions
Does Peak Docs make decisions or rate options?
No. Peak Docs records what was decided and why. You make the decision.
Are there formal approvals?
Approval workflows with order and roles are planned. Today the decision sits in a decision block, and versions show every change.
How does the team know which memo applies?
A document can be flagged as canonical. Duplicate hints help avoid parallel versions.
Are the examples on this page real customers?
No. All examples are made-up sample data. The exercises run only locally in your browser and save nothing.
