Decision Rooms
The room assembles the evidence. You make the call.
Most firms run on five or more disconnected tools. The decision gets made in a conversation, recorded nowhere, and revisited eighteen months later by people who weren’t there.
ONX Decision Rooms change that. When a signal crosses a threshold (a delivery risk, a commitment about to be locked, a renewal in three weeks), a room opens automatically. Every module that has something to say about the question says it. The options are laid out. The recommended path is named. You decide.
The decision is permanent. Reason, person, moment. Settled against the linked signal. Written to the ledger the platform learns from. The firm remembers.
Three kinds of room
A signal has crossed a threshold. The question is in front of you because something changed. Not because someone noticed.
The room carries the question, why it’s here now, and what Legal, Finance, Operations, People and Account Management each say about it: Clear, Watch, or Risk. Three options, with the recommended path named. An activity feed of everything that happened since the room opened. One click opens the full signal in Intelligence.
Go-live is in six weeks. Thirty people. Is this commitment sound?
The financial picture is plain English: revenue, cost, margin, mobilisation cash, Finance’s verdict. Module gates show whether Hiring is on track, Legal paperwork is signed, the solution assumptions are measured. Options include a recommended path. “Request more information” creates a real action with a three-day deadline in the Intelligence queue.
Every number is traceable to its source. The full Finance workings sit one click away, collapsed by default.
Before you commit the date, the room checks the gates.
STOP gates must be resolved before you can approve. RISK gates need an owner. The days-to-go-live countdown runs live. Every gate deep-links to the module that owns it. When opportunities surface alongside the blockers (a bundle conversation worth £360k, an adjacent expansion already open), they’re shown here, not buried in a separate report.
Evidence lands, the ranking reorders, an override is recorded, the outcome will be scored. Hover to hold it.

A commitment opens the room. Four options, no opinions yet.
When a decision is made in ONX, it locks. Decision, reason, person, moment.
It resolves the linked Intelligence signal. Commitment calls mirror into the Finance Decision Ledger. After 14 days, the outcome can be classified: correct, correct override, wrong call, or not enough information. That classification feeds the learning spine. The platform gets better at knowing which warnings to trust.
This is not a log. It is a closed loop.
A room is where the platform stops being eleven functions and becomes one answer.
If you run a people business (a BPO, a staffing firm, an MSP, a consultancy), you already know this problem.
The decision happened. Nobody wrote it down. The next person in that role starts from scratch. The margin leak repeats. The client renews late because nobody flagged the renewal in time.
Decision Rooms don’t add a process. They catch the decision that was going to happen anyway. And make it legible.
A Decision Room is a governed space in ONX where a material business decision is assembled, made, and recorded. When a signal crosses a threshold (a delivery risk, a pending commitment, a renewal in the next fortnight), a room opens automatically. The room carries the question, the evidence from every relevant module, the options, and the recommended path. When a decision is made, it locks permanently with the reason, the person, and the moment.
A Pattern room is a Decision Room opened by an Intelligence signal. It surfaces when ONX detects a pattern that requires a decision: delivery confidence below threshold, a contract breach accumulating, a margin gap widening. The room assembles what Legal, Finance, Operations, People and Account Management each say about the question, then presents options with a recommended path.
A Commitment room is a Decision Room published by Finance when a commercial commitment is about to be locked. It presents the financial picture in plain language (revenue, margin, mobilisation cost, Finance’s verdict) alongside module gates showing whether the commitment is safe to proceed. Gates are clearable, every number is traceable to its source, and the full Finance workings sit one click away.
A Readiness room is a Decision Room that checks every gate before a commitment is approved. It shows STOP gates (must resolve), RISK gates (need an owner), the days-to-go-live countdown, and opportunities the commitment might unlock. Approval is blocked until stops are resolved or explicitly overridden, with the override recorded against an owner.
Every decision made in a Decision Room is permanent. It captures the decision text, the reason (minimum 20 characters), the person who made it, and the timestamp. It writes to the platform’s decision outcomes, commitment calls mirror into the Finance Decision Ledger, and the linked Intelligence signal is resolved. After 14 days, the outcome can be classified (correct, correct override, wrong call, or not enough information), feeding the platform’s learning spine.
The decision locks to the room. Commitment calls mirror into the Finance Decision Ledger. The linked Intelligence signal is resolved. After 14 days, the outcome classification flow opens. The classification (correct, correct override, wrong call, not enough information) writes back into the learning spine, so the platform recalibrates which warnings to trust.
