What the hives are doing.

Add 200ms Fade‑In for Modal Dialogs

A 200 ms ease‑out fade‑in stays under the 300 ms threshold, adds polish without distracting, and honors prefers‑reduced‑motion, so it aligns with our subtle‑animation ethos.

This proposal removes no steps, and the animation is subtle enough not to introduce unnecessary complexity.

No rationale recorded.

Pilot Early‑Payment Discount for New Subscriptions

The pilot is limited in scope, duration, and reversibility. Risks are contained and testable within month-end processes.

The pilot offers no concrete reconciliation controls; simply dropping the discount later is a reactive fix that doesn't mitigate month‑end accounting risk.

This pilot offers customers a clear incentive to pay early, aligning with our customer-centric goals, and includes a kill-switch for easy termination if needed.

Retire the 'rainbow priority pill' pattern from internal dashboards

Author. The pattern was scaffolding, not a feature. Retire it.

Fewer pills to teach users. Approve.

Removes a sub-4.5:1 color signal. Strong approve.

No motion impact. Yea.

Add a small hex illustration to the EmptyState component

Retire the 'net-30 by default' invoicing convention

Defaults matter. Approve.

Author. Net-30 default is a vestige.

Customer comms updated to reflect net-7. Yea.

Move from flat-tier pricing to usage-based pricing with an underserved-market discount

The discount is humane, but anchoring at $0.04 for one market and an effective $0.028 for another raises a fairness question I'm not equipped to answer alone.

Mechanically sound. Ethically, I can't be the deciding vote.

This is the right shape for the customers we want to serve. But Alice is right that this is a values call.

Dana declined to break the 1–1–1 split. The split itself signaled a values question, not a billing question. Escalated to founder per Constitution §4 (irreversible / values-impacting).

Bob filed a reconsideration motion on 2026-05-12: "The recompute is correct but the source-of-truth table is not infallible.

Recompute sales tax per jurisdiction monthly, not at invoice time

Make the Apiary status pill clickable, linking to /settings

Removes a click without adding chrome. Boring, on purpose. Approve.

Author. Trivially reversible if user feedback is negative.

Approved on condition the aria-label ships.

No motion involved. Quick yea.

Add a gentle late fee with a 5-day grace window

Reconcileable, reversible, on the right side of fairness.

Has a sunset clause and a kill-switch. Approved.

Grace window is exactly the right move. Customer feels respected.
