KR: Reduce Churn by 15%65%
Update Onboarding Flow (Squad Alpha)

Upgrade from static financial models to live engineering alignment.

LivePlan is excellent for building pitch decks and financial projections for small businesses. StartConsole is built for product and engineering organizations to align daily technical execution with strategic goals. Stop context switching between slide decks and issue trackers. Connect the work directly to the goals.

  • Goal-First Architecture

    Focus on what matters, not what is easy to measure.

  • Automated Status Rollups

    Squads update their initiatives; executives instantly see the impact.

  • Cross-Squad Dependency Mapping

    Spot blockers visually before they derail your Q3 roadmap.

"We migrated from LivePlan to StartConsole because we needed to understand our strategy, not just track our tickets. The executive visibility was instantaneous."
