Double-linking is a sociocratic practice where two people connect a circle to its parent circle: one carries information and priorities downward, the other carries feedback and tensions upward. Both participate in governance at the parent level, giving the sub-circle real representation rather than token input.
Single links create information bottlenecks and power imbalances. The person linking up also links down, which means they filter in both directions. Double-linking fixes this by separating the two functions. The downward link focuses on alignment with the broader organisation, while the upward link focuses on representing the sub-circle's reality.
Nestr supports double-linking through its circle structure with explicit linking roles. Both links are visible in the circle and parent circle views, carry defined accountabilities, and participate in governance meetings at the appropriate levels. The audit trail tracks how each link has influenced governance decisions over time.
