Everyone with the link answers three questions about this sentence.It cannot be changed once the card is made.

is due . It succeeds only if % by .

Who will vote

You, once you add the addresses below.

1of 5 needed

Where the project lives — optional

A ticket, a PRD, a doc. Everyone answering sees it and can go and read before they score. Whoever has the card link can open it, so a link to an internal tool tells them which company this is — that is your call to make.

Your email

You are on the card too — your vote just went in with it. Daylight knows which vote is yours. Nobody you work with ever will, and the card can never show it.

Everyone else

One address per line, or separated by commas. Each person gets their own link, so nobody sees who else was asked and no two people can answer as the same seat. We use these to send that link, to say when the card opens, to nudge two days before the date if it is still sealed, and to say when the goal is read. Nothing else — and they are deleted when the card sends its last mail.

Your name — optional

Goes on the invite, so it does not arrive from a stranger. Without it the mail opens “someone on your team”, which is also how a phishing mail opens. It is never attached to a vote, and it is deleted with the addresses.

Ask one follow-up question if the answers splitOnce everyone has answered, the card asks the people whose answers stood out what they were seeing. They get a day; everyone reads the replies together, with no names and no counts. You cannot pick the question or call it off later — that is the point of deciding it now.

No addresses yet. A card needs 4 colleagues plus you.

Your voteSealed. Nobody sees it, including you.
