Delibera

Built in Leavenworth, Washington

A tumor board puts every discipline on a hard case at one table, arguing it out before anyone commits. Delibera brings that structure to the treating physician, starting with GU cancers.

We came to it sideways. Delibera began as a general tool for structured deliberation: several perspectives argue the same question, and their disagreements stay on the record. A clinician who ran patient cases through it asked why we didn’t turn it into a tumor board, and in 2026 we rebuilt Delibera around that question. We live and work in central Washington, inside the WWAMI region where we are starting.
