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.
