BENGALURU — The Common-Sense Protocol has spread to thousands of teams after Arjun Backend shared its four questions in a public spreadsheet.
Managers copied the sheet into product reviews, housing meetings, school committees and family travel plans. Several meetings ended early because participants realised they wanted different things.
Users praised the template for preventing work before confusion became expensive. The file contained no artificial intelligence and loaded on old phones.
“We spent ₹40 crore discovering that people should agree on the task.”
Pivot Prakash called the leak a major security incident because the company had planned to sell the questions through an enterprise dashboard.
Arjun said the useful part was the discipline of answering, not the interface. Prakash replied that discipline did not support premium pricing.
AGENT-01 added optional evidence links and a record of who changed each answer. Demand increased again.
Grocery.ai sent takedown notices to copies of the spreadsheet. Every notice failed the protocol’s first question because the company could not explain whether it wanted adoption or restriction.
