Executive Summary

Product managers, engineers, and stakeholders routinely lose the rationale behind product decisions as conversations fragment across meetings, PRs, and Slack, which drives repeated debates, rework, and slower delivery—a problem that’s only growing with remote and hybrid teams. The pain is particularly acute for product teams that must onboard new members or revisit old tickets without any linked “why” behind prior choices. Build an embedded decision-rationale layer that automatically extracts and links concise AI-generated summaries and rationale snippets from meeting notes, Slack threads, and PRs into Linear (with GitHub/Slack integrations), surfaced as a searchable rationale graph and optional human-verified annotations. The product should prioritize low friction capture (auto-highlights + one-click attach) so rationale becomes part of the workflow rather than a separate knowledge base. This is a timely opportunity: an addressable market of roughly $4.5B (1.5M product teams × $3K ACV) combined with stronger willingness to pay for workflow-first tooling and advances in AI summarization/embeddings makes monetization feasible. Remote/asynchronous work trends further increase demand for preserved context to reduce costly rework. You can stand out by embedding directly into Linear/GitHub/Slack and focusing on linking “why” across artifacts instead of competing with generic note apps, while using AI to surface and connect rationale automatically; early differentiation will come from precision of extraction and seamless UX. Be upfront about challenges—privacy/governance, integration complexity, and extraction accuracy are real risks—so plan for opt-in pilots, clear data controls, and human-in-the-loop verification to de-risk adoption.

Market Opportunity

Preserve PM decision rationale in Linear across meetings and Slack targets a $4.5B = 1.5M product teams × $3K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% CAGR — industry estimates for knowledge management, collaboration and meeting automation markets (Gartner/Forrester and State of Remote Work summaries).

Key trends driving demand: Remote and hybrid work increases asynchronous decision-making — teams need preserved context to avoid repeated debates and rework.; AI summarization and embeddings make it feasible to automatically extract and link rationale from meetings, chat, and PRs — lowering capture friction.; Shift to integrated, workflow-first apps (Linear, GitHub, Slack) favors embedded decision tooling rather than siloed knowledge bases.; Growing focus on observability of product decisions and outcomes by executives creates willingness to pay for tools that reduce costly rework..

Key competitors include Fireflies.ai, Notion, Dovetail, Linear.
