Why Trellis exists
I have spent my career in finance, and a good part of it running large changes. The pattern I kept seeing had nothing to do with the quality of the strategy. The plan was sound in January. By spring it was a slide deck nobody opened, and the status reports said everything was green.
I built Trellis because I wanted a plan that stays true: every piece of work tied to the outcome it serves, every number carrying the date it was measured, and a meeting rhythm that asks both whether the work is moving and whether the plan is still right.
Trellis is the method I use and the software that runs it. The method is simple to say and hard to keep: a one-sentence vision, a handful of focus areas, objectives with a measure and an owner, and projects that are actually staffed. The hard part is keeping all of it honest after the offsite.
Most tools let people type their own status. Trellis does not. Health is worked out from the work itself, and a number that has not been updated goes visibly stale, even when it still looks good. That one design choice changes the conversation in a leadership meeting from "are we on track?" to "show me".
Trellis is new, and it is built for companies of 20 to 1,000 people, the size where a plan outgrows a spreadsheet but a consulting-heavy platform is more than you need.
