I'll put influence on this because the current room makes me feel careless, and carelessness is poison in a vote.

Decisions you can finish on a phone

Problem
The decision room assumes a wide screen and a quiet hour. On a phone the options collapse, the problem is truncated, and committing influence feels like a mis-tap waiting to happen.
Evidence
Session recordings: mobile visitors read the problem, then left at the influence control. Desktop visitors finished.

AI summary
A synthesis of the room, not an instruction.
Treat “Decisions you can finish on a phone” as a problem statement: The decision room assumes a wide screen and a quiet hour. The leading suggestion is: A phone layout that keeps one option in view at a time, with the influence stepper impossible to brush by accident. Why it matters here: A lot of us govern between things.
Arguments for
- That is the whole bug. The option should carry its consequence, not a tooltip you can't reach.
- I'll put influence on this because the current room makes me feel careless, and carelessness is poison in a vote.
- A smaller version of “Decisions you can finish on a phone” could tell us if we even framed the problem correctly.
Arguments against
- A wizard can also hide the comparison. I need to see the options together before I pick, even on a phone.
Alternatives
- Let me read and discuss on the phone, and hold the actual commit for when the choice is deliberate. Not everyone wants to spend influence in a queue.

Are we designing a mobile web, or quietly starting an app? I don't want a third product.

Of the last twenty votes I watched, the ones cast on small screens used round numbers and the minimum. That looks like tapping, not judging.
Theo AlmeidaEvidence
The part I would spend influence on is specific: phone sessions started a vote and abandoned it at the stepper.

I don't want another feature. I want fewer people stuck with phone sessions started a vote and abandoned it at the stepper.
