Three steps. No anchoring. Decision in 48h.
Pose the technical call
Frame the decision: architecture, hiring, process. Add context, RFC link, set a 48h deadline.
Each engineer contributes alone
Position, reasoning, risks — submitted before seeing anyone else's. The senior staff eng doesn't anchor the room.
Ship the synthesis
Claude maps consensus, dissent, blind spots, and confidence. Paste it into the RFC. Move on.
From a fuzzy question to a readable decision.
Should we migrate the monolith to a service-per-domain architecture next quarter?
Deploy independence is worth the ops overhead at our headcount.
We don't have the platform team to run 8 services. Premature.
Yes — but extract billing first, prove the seam, then commit.
Team leans toward a staged extraction — but platform capacity is the blocker nobody owns.
Deploy coupling is slowing every team; status quo is unsustainable.
Nobody costed on-call rotation for N new services.
Engineering decisions don't need another meeting. They need every engineer on the record — before the room agrees with whoever has the most tenure.
What engineering managers ask before opening a room.
What is KFC?+
KFC (Kollective Feedback Center) is an async decision room built for distributed engineering teams. Engineers submit private positions on a technical call before seeing anyone else's input, and Claude synthesizes consensus, dissent, and blind spots so the team can close the decision in 48 hours without another meeting.
How does anti-anchoring work?+
When you join a decision room, you cannot read other contributions until you submit your own. This removes the cognitive anchor that the first or most senior voice usually sets in synchronous discussions, leading to more independent reasoning and better decisions.
What kinds of decisions is KFC for?+
Architecture choices (e.g. monolith vs services), hiring calls, process changes, sunset decisions, build-vs-buy, RFC reviews, and any technical decision where you want every engineer's reasoning on record before consensus forms.
How is this different from Slack threads or a Google Doc?+
Slack and Docs have no anti-anchoring mechanism: the first reply or comment frames the rest. KFC gates contributions until each engineer has submitted, then produces a structured synthesis showing agreement, dissent, and blind spots rather than a flat chronological transcript.
Is my team's data used to train AI models?+
No. Contributions are processed through Anthropic's API and are never used to train models. We do not sell or share decision content.
How much does KFC cost?+
