# RAPID

**RAPID** is a decision-rights framework, mentioned alongside [[entity-raci-d7]] and [[entity-dare-d7]] as one of the tools organizations use to define decision rights.

*Enrichment context:* RAPID originated at **Bain & Company**. It clarifies who **Recommend**s, who must **Agree**, who provides **Input**, who **Decide**s, and who **Perform**s the decision. It is often cited as an alternative to RACI that more explicitly pins down decision *authority* — directly relevant to the article's diagnosis in [[claim-latent-raci-disagreement]] that RACI leaves 'who decides' ambiguous.
