Why do decisions take forever?

Traditional decision-making often fails because it tries to find what everyone loves — which is nearly impossible. The result:

Punkst3r solves this by finding what everyone can live with — honest, efficient, and with minimal drama.

How the two-step process works

Step 1: Riot phase

Everyone throws in their wildest ideas. No filtering, no judgment — just pure chaos and creativity. All participants add options to the decision in real time.

Step 2: Slam phase

Let your anger out: 0 = "Meh, whatever" up to 10 = "NUCLEAR EXPLOSION!" The option with the least resistance wins — watch it happen live in the results chart.

Which features should you prioritize? Collect proposals, evaluate team resistance, and make data-driven decisions.

What such a round looks like in practice is on the use case pages: feature prioritisation in a product team, actions from the retrospective and decisions in workshop facilitation. The use cases page gives the overview, and the comparison of decision-making methods explains the method behind it.

Why Punkst3r is different

Instead of searching for what everyone loves (impossible), Punkst3r finds what everyone can live with. The veto-based system makes decisions fast and honest: no more endless discussions, no more unsatisfying compromises — just honest consensus.

It's honest, it's punk, it works.

Frequently asked questions

How does the veto system work?

Participants rate every option on a scale from 0 to 10 — 0 means no resistance, 10 means maximum resistance. The option with the lowest total resistance score wins. That way the group finds what everyone can live with, not what everyone loves.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start right away with just your name. An account only becomes useful when you want to save your sessions and access them from anywhere.

How do I share a session?

When you create a session, you get a shareable link as its admin. Share it via email or WhatsApp, or just copy it. Participants only enter their name to join.
