Democratic
Backlog Prioritization
rVote uses Quadratic Proposal Ranking to let your community democratically prioritize proposals. The best ideas rise to the top through collective intelligence, then advance to final voting.
What is Quadratic Proposal Ranking?
A system where expressing strong preference costs progressively more, creating a fair and balanced priority list that reflects true community consensus.
Traditional priority systems let those with more time, resources, or influence dominate what gets attention.
- Loudest voices set the agenda
- Important but less flashy ideas get buried
- No way to express intensity of preference
- Backlogs become political battlegrounds
Quadratic Proposal Ranking balances participation and conviction by making additional votes progressively more expensive.
- 1 vote = 1 credit, 2 votes = 4, 3 = 9
- Everyone can participate meaningfully
- Express strong opinions, but at a cost
- Naturally surfaces community consensus

Spreading votes across proposals you support is more efficient than concentrating on one.
From Chaos to Consensus
Transform your community's ideas into a democratically prioritized backlog through two simple stages.
- All proposals enter the ranking pool
- Upvote/downvote with quadratic cost
- Votes decay over 30-60 days
- Creates a living priority queue
When a proposal reaches a score of +100, it automatically advances to the final voting stage.
This ensures only proposals with genuine community support move forward for implementation decisions.
- Yes / No / Abstain voting
- One member = one vote
- 7-day voting period
- Majority decides implementation
