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.
