I don't think Aumann agreement is a good term for this; there's a huge difference between that mathematically precise procedure and the fuzzy process you're describing.
Agreed. This decision-making method is so common we normally don't name it. E.g. "I was going to dye my hair, but my friend told me about the terrible experience she had, and now I think I'll go to a salon instead of trying it at home." I don't see a need to make up jargon for "considering the advice of trusted people."
It seems like the purpose of this post was mostly to share your enjoyment of how wise your coworkers are and how well you cooperate with each other. Which is fine, but let's not technify it unnecessarily.
The crucial point is that it's not a procedure, it's a property, an indicator and not a method.
I'm sorry, I don't see what you're getting at I'm afraid!
Aumann agreement is already there, it's a fact of a certain situation, not a procedure for getting to an agreement, unlike the practice of forming a common understanding Luke talked about. My comment was basically a pun on your use of the word "procedure".
