Like everyone else, I couldn't find what it did, but the tour https://secure.stairwayapp.com/tour albeit brief, it fully explanatory. I think the concept is great and that this has the potential to be actually very useful.

From a product point of view, I think it should integrate with a corporate LDAP otherwise you have the catch-22 problem of any social network like system.

I really like the idea of decision based (rather than talk based) meeting goals. Rather than "let's have a meeting to talk about it" it becomes "let's have a meeting to decide X", then it becomes possible to draw time-lines of the decision making process and those involved, which hopefully leads to accountability and improved engagement.

My only criticism is that companies would want to host this. The security concerns and longevity of the data would be beyond any IT depts stress threshold. I could imagine the privacy policy causing my companies IT dept to start having panic attacks. Then again, everything's going cloud, so maybe other IT departments will be fine with it.

We're thinking to make it closer to smaller teams and individuals in the enterprise and then they'd take it bottom-up from there. Thanks for the awesome feedback.
