UX, Interface & Interaction Design

Definition

The practice of choosing short, intuitive names (1–2 words) for ordinal levels that are contextually clear and interpretable by both users and agents.

This is the vocabulary your business already runs on.

Decidr types an organisation the way a type system types a codebase — every goal, belief and strategy a named thing the whole system agrees about. Onboarding starts by mapping yours.
