Your tools don't coordinate.
They create silos with APIs.
The problem isn't missing tools. It's that coordination was never designed - it just grew around email threads, spreadsheets, and heroic effort.

The Tail Wags the Dog
Dictates how you sell
Dictates how you develop
Dictates how you procure
Each tool imposes its own logic. Work adapts to tools instead of tools adapting to work.
The coordination between tools? That's your problem to solve.
The Simple Question
Commitments are made in meetings
Then confirmed (maybe) in email threads
Tracked (sometimes) in personal spreadsheets
Then forgotten in the gaps between systems
No single source of truth for cross-team obligations.
The Human Glue Tax
High-value staff spending their time chasing, nudging, reconciling
Managers become coordinators instead of leaders
Meetings that exist only because systems don't talk
$150K+ per department per year in coordination waste
The Shadow Excel Problem
Official systems handle the happy path; exceptions go to Excel
Institutional knowledge trapped in personal files
Someone updates them manually - when they remember
Every cross-team initiative spawns a new tracking spreadsheet
Great for tasks inside teams, weak at commitments between teams
Strong in their domain, weak in the gaps between domains
Blank canvas, but you end up building a bad version of existing tools
Perfect for conversation, terrible for tracking commitments
Individual-level assistance, not shared coordination systems
You can't buy your way out of a coordination problem with more tools.
