Ranking

Participants rank the available options from highest to lowest priority. This produces a full order rather than a single choice. Options with broad acceptability tend to prevail.

How it works in Rhizome

All participants create a personal ranking of the options. Rhizome aggregates these into an overall ranking. The approach is similar to distributing points, but it produces a clear order instead of a weighted distribution.

Extended decision rules

Quorum

Sets the minimum number of participants who must respond for the decision to be valid.

Option Description
No quorum (default) The decision is valid regardless of how many participants respond
Percentage A defined share must respond — preset options are 50%, 66%, or a custom value
Number A specific number of participants must respond
All must participate Every member in the group must respond

Use cases

Use ranking when you need a clear prioritization or when there are multiple options to implement in a specific order. Ranking can follow distributing points for a final prioritization step, or it can prepare the ground for a discussion-based decision.
