Overview
Compass is a strategic planning platform for organizations that need to coordinate long-term initiatives without drowning in process overhead. It helps teams define objectives, track progress, and adjust plans as circumstances change, all while maintaining clarity about what matters most.
Using AI to identify dependencies and surface potential conflicts, Compass helps leaders make informed decisions about resource allocation and timing. The platform is designed for organizations experiencing growth transitions where informal coordination no longer suffices.
Problem Space
As organizations grow, coordinating strategic initiatives becomes increasingly complex. Teams work on interconnected projects with shared dependencies and competing priorities. Without clear visibility, resources get overcommitted, critical dependencies get missed, and strategic focus gets diluted.
Traditional strategic planning tools either oversimplify to the point of being useless dashboards, or impose heavy planning processes that become obsolete as soon as circumstances change. Compass provides structure without rigidity, enabling teams to plan deliberately while adapting continuously.
Core Capabilities
Objective Frameworks
Flexible planning structures that connect daily work to strategic goals without prescribing specific methodologies.
Dependency Mapping
AI-assisted identification of interdependencies across initiatives with alerts when conflicts or bottlenecks emerge.
Resource Intelligence
Smart resource allocation recommendations based on capacity, skills, and initiative priorities.
Progress Clarity
Clear visibility into what's progressing, what's blocked, and what needs attention without manual status reporting.
Current Status
Compass is in the research and planning phase. We're studying how organizations manage strategic initiatives across different stages of growth, identifying patterns in what works and what creates friction. This research will inform the product's core design.
We're focused on understanding the minimum set of features that provide genuine strategic clarity without imposing burdensome planning processes. Development has not yet begun, and the product will not be available for some time.
