Stop guessing who owns what.
When five people think someone else has it, nothing ships. A RACI matrix names it plainly: who does the work, who owns the outcome, who gets a say, and who just needs the update. Fill it in below. It saves in your browser as you go.
R
Responsible
Does the work. Hands on the keyboard.
A
Accountable
Owns the outcome. One name, not five.
C
Consulted
Has input before it ships. Two-way.
I
Informed
Gets the update after. One-way.

One rule that saves most of the arguments: every row gets exactly one A. If two people are accountable, no one is. Click any cell to cycle through R, A, C, I, or blank.
