This concept is not big novelty, but it contains some modifications for high-load. This scheme performs well even with millions of  participants and thousands of decision variants.

Decision making concept

The main principle: participant should not see any voting results up to his final vote in order to stay independent-minded. According to The Wisdom of Crowds researches, the quality of final decision depends on opinions independence and diversity.

Here is a scenario (take a note, that steps are executed simultaneously):
  1. Everyone have the ability to submit his decision variant to Decision Pool
  2. Bad and duplicate decisions are processed via  Unmoderated self-organization
  3. Every decision is rated as probable one by some % of participants.
  4. High-rated decisions form the Decision Top (up to 5 positions  usually).
  5. Participants perform final vote at Decision Top (shown in random order).
  6. If the decision with big advantage is detected, it is marked as Taken Decision.
  7. Process continues, while Taken Decision appears.
Sure, this contept is not perfect one and there are a lot of questions to it. But it's good starting point. By the way it can be considered as consensus friendly decision-making, especially being combined with other TRYNE concepts.
