Spor · the connected record

The reasons stay attached to the work

When work ships, the reason behind it shouldn’t disappear into chat, tickets, and half-remembered meetings. Spor keeps the decisions, tasks, questions, rules, and notes behind the work in one connected record. So when someone asks why guest checkout works the way it does, you follow the trail back instead of reconstructing it from memory.

A clear home for each thing

Each thing gets a clear home

A decision, a task, an open question — each gets its own place with a summary that stands on its own.

A teammate asks “Can shoppers pay without an account?” and that question gets a home. The decision to keep one cart and attach the buyer later gets another. The task to build the guest checkout path gets a third. You can read any one of them and understand it without first opening five other things to figure out what it means.

  • A question, kept where you can find it
  • A decision, with its summary in a line
  • A task, separate from the talk around it

Stays connected

Everything stays connected

Each thing links to what it came from and what depends on it.

The task to build guest checkout points back to the decision that shaped it. That decision points back to the earlier one to keep one cart and attach the buyer later. That one points back to the question a teammate first raised. From a shipped feature, you can walk the whole trail to the start without asking anyone where it began.

  • Each thing names the work behind it
  • Follow the trail back, step by step
  • No “why did we do it this way?” shrug
Nothing lost

Nothing gets lost

The dead ends stay too, so no one walks into them twice.

An attempt the team abandoned stays put, with the reason it was dropped. A rejected idea stays with the why behind it. So the next person or AI assistant to pick up the work sees the dead end before walking into it again, and the team stops re-arguing calls it already settled. The reason is attached to the work, not lost in a thread someone has to dig up.

  • Abandoned attempts stay, with the reason
  • Rejected ideas stay, with why
  • The next person sees the dead end first
kept, with the reasonnot deleted
rejected Charge the card before building the cart kept because Shoppers dropped off when asked to pay first. Kept so the next person sees the dead end before trying it again.
