100TEETH

100TEETH is a web service for group decision-making, run by a young startup from Stuttgart. It applies a method it calls collective intelligence, in which many individual opinions are combined step by step into one group result.

What 100TEETH offers

• Group creation — after registering, a user starts a group and invites other members.
• Candidacies — a member puts themselves forward, and others can back that candidacy or stand themselves.
• Coalitions — candidates can support a coalition, which produces a loose hierarchy.
• Decentralised consensus — disagreements are settled locally in candidacies and coalitions, then combined for the whole group.
• Spokesperson role — the coalition with the most votes governs, and a spokesperson represents the group.
• Public and private groups — both kinds are supported.

Who it works with

The site speaks to communities, town initiatives, citizen groups and clubs that want a more participatory way to decide things. The interface is in German.
