# Decision-Making

## What is decision-making?

Decision-making means a mode for [Admins](/help-center/product-and-solution/dive-into-safeheron/admins.md) to make decisions in Safeheron. In the decision-making, the team [Creators](/help-center/product-and-solution/dive-into-safeheron/creators.md) will set a certain quorum/threshold based on the number of admins in the team to make sure the decision will come into effect when a certain number of admins approve it.

## Why do we need decision-making?

To operate a business, it's not always the work done all by one person, instead, it's always backed by a whole team. Thus, for asset security and efficient business operations, Safeheron introduces the decision-making mode, to involve admins making crucial decisions regarding asset security.

Crucial decisions in Safeheron will only be valid after meeting the threshold/quorum the team creator preset. 

You may wonder what kind of decisions need decision-making, let's continue.

## How do we use decision-making?

### Set decision-making

In Safeheron, once you have admins in your teams, then the co-management is enabled, which means the decision-making mode is also effective for your business operations. Same as what in [Admins](/help-center/product-and-solution/dive-into-safeheron/admins.md#make-decisions-together).

The team creator will set a certain quorum/threshold (based on how many admins are in a team) to approve the decision.

The whole setup of the decision-making mode is executed in Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), ensuring it's tamper-proof and up against malicious outsiders and insiders.

### Change decision-making

Decision-making mode can be changed as per your business needs.

Navigate to Me ➡ Member Management, click `Admin` , you can see the option `Change Decision-Making` .

And, once it's changed, this change also needs to be approved by other admins, to meet the quorum to be valid. (This is one of the decisions will trigger decision-making)
