I'm building decision-making software: https://orgtools.com

Not sure what the market is for something like this but it's something I've been thinking a lot about since stepping down as CEO of my previous company.

My goal is two-fold:

1. Help teams make better, faster decisions with all context populating a source-of-truth.

2. Help leaders stay eyes-on, and circumstantially hands-on, without slowing everything down. What I'd hope to be an effective version of "Founder Mode".

If anybody wants to play around with it, here's a link to my staging environment:

Great idea! Great website! Terrible video. The 90 second format is great, this is how much I would like to spend learning what exactly your product does. But the whole video is just clicking some user interfaces with no result. After watching the video, I have even less idea of what it the product is for. I would love to see a video that goes through the "next, next, next" in the wizard and then shows the actual outcome.

Great feedback, I'll work on the video ASAP. I intended to immediately create a follow-up video that steps through each component of a newly created decision, got distracted, never circled back.

OK, it seems you are on the path of another 8 fig exit. Good on you. It seems like a great project and could possible save so much time if well executed and well integrated.

I've added it to SaaSHub saashub.com/orgtools. If you have an @orgtools.com email you can verify and improve the profile. Cheers!

“Fewer meetings.” Not “less.”

This is a good nudge to choose the grammatically correct option, thank you.

I originally had "less meetings" before an LLM corrected me into using "fewer meetings". Then when talking about Orgtools to a couple people I heard them say "less meetings" and switched back thinking that sounds slightly more natural (but incorrect).

The way I think of it is "few" if they can be counted, otherwise, "less"

That's not really true, at least, outside of prescriptivist linguistics.

> Less has been used to modify plural nouns since the days of King Alfred
