Software for enforcing strategic planning trade-offs
A strategic portfolio planning SaaS that requires each proposal to include target metrics, customer problem, estimated effort, dependencies, resource needs, and explicit opportunity cost. It would provide constrained prioritization simulations, capacity-aware trade-off scoring, dependency mapping, approval workflows, and a visible 'not doing' backlog with decision rationales and ownership.
The problem
Company planning workshops often become collaborative wishlists because every team can submit initiatives, voting is interpreted as approval, and leaders do not explicitly compare impact, effort, dependencies, or what must be stopped. This creates recurring prioritization friction and weak alignment across functions.
