Outside Chair

Outside Chair — Task · Free to start

Know what was done as agreed.

Task records who promised what, who accepts it, what counts as done and which evidence proves it, then shows only what needs your judgment.

Install Task See the worked example

Not another to-do list

Make important promises inspectable.

Use Task for a material result whose agreement, evidence and acceptance matter—not for everyday activity tracking.

Make the promise precise

Name the result, maker, receiver, deliverable, constraints and what will count as done.

Agree under each identity

One person can hold both roles. When two people are involved, each confirms the same proposal through their own account.

Keep evidence separate

The maker submits the deliverable and evidence. Task does not turn that submission into acceptance.

Preserve disagreement

Different positions and the deciding authority remain visible until the named person resolves them.

Ask only for judgment

Quiet commitments stay quiet. Missing evidence, a changed outcome or a result awaiting review comes forward.

Choose the honest outcome

Accept, repair, reframe or stop without rewriting what was originally agreed.

One clear loop

FRAME → COMMIT → ASSURE → REVIEW

  1. FRAMEDefine the result, roles, deliverable, limits and acceptance conditions.
  2. COMMITEach person confirms the same proposal under their own identity.
  3. ASSURESubmit the result and evidence, including gaps and disagreement.
  4. REVIEWThe receiver accepts, repairs, reframes or stops the commitment.

Worked example · supplier resilience

Repair an evidence gap, then accept the result.

Paste these prompts in order. The same pattern works when you make and judge your own commitment or when different people hold the two roles.

  1. 01

    FRAME

    What result are we agreeing?

    Prompt

    Prepare a commitment for a supplier-resilience pilot. The Operations Lead will deliver a tested recovery plan; the COO will judge it. It must cover the two critical suppliers, name a backup for each and test recovery timing by 15 November. Show the exact proposal first.

    The result and the limits are clear before anyone promises delivery.

    • Maker and receiver named
    • Deliverable and evidence defined
    • No implementation authority granted
  2. 02

    COMMIT

    Do both people agree to the same promise?

    Prompt

    Record my agreement as the Operations Lead. Then ask the COO to review and confirm the same proposal through their own Outside Chair account.

    Each person confirms only for themselves.

    • No agent agrees for another person
    • Single-user commitments need one confirmation
    • Two-person use requires both people in one shared workspace; inviting a new member requires Founding Pro
  3. 03

    ASSURE

    What does the final evidence support?

    Prompt

    Submit the recovery plan and test evidence. Installer training and price acceptance are supported. The supplier recovery timing remains unsupported because the second test was not completed. State that limitation clearly.

    The work is visible without claiming more than the evidence supports.

    • Installers trained — Supported
    • Price acceptance tested — Supported
    • Supplier recovery timing — Unsupported
  4. 04

    REVIEW

    Accept, repair, reframe or stop?

    Prompt

    Prepare a repair decision. Keep the accepted evidence, require the missing second recovery test and leave the COO as the deciding authority. After the repaired evidence is submitted, prepare acceptance with the remaining risk visible.

    The receiver repairs the gap, then accepts the supported result.

    • Original promise remains visible
    • Repair returns the work for evidence
    • Acceptance does not authorise implementation
