@aspenoakcapitalmgmt Thanks for the note and question! A flight is a collaborative and staged workflow: In the first stage teams anonymously collaborate and contribute to prompts given by the flight creator. In the second stage participants individually evaluate all inputs using a research-backed approval voting system that eliminates groupthink and creates a meritocracy. The result is a prioritized list that allows leaders to quickly see where they have alignment, buy-in (or not), and make the most informed decisions.

How exactly does the platform eliminate groupthink?

Great question @sarah_vega. When participants vote on responses in Stage 2, we use an approval voting system (1 vote for something you like, support, want to see move forward; 2 votes for a top choice). Groupthink is eliminated by this voting system because participants don’t see a total vote count, so they don’t know if something has 100 votes or 2 votes, and that’s not going to influence whether they vote it up or not. Also, Stage 2 is fully anonymous so what results is a true idea meritocracy.
