What does reporting on your plan cost you?

Every month, leaders pull status together for the leadership meeting, and every quarter someone builds the board deck. Put in your own numbers and see what that time costs, and what getting part of it back is worth.

Estimate, from your inputs

Time spent on reporting today

480 hours · $57,600 a year

About $4,800 a year for each objective, just to report on it.

Given back at 50%

240 hours · $28,800 a year

Compared with 8 editors at $25 a month, billed annually

$2,400 a year

That leaves an estimated $26,400 a year of time back, after the subscription.

One place for the plan

One plan instead of a deck, a spreadsheet and a tracker.

What Trellis replaces

  • The measures spreadsheet someone chases every monthMeasures with a baseline, a dated reading and a reminder when the next one is due
  • The initiative trackerInitiatives, milestones, risks and the roadmap, each under the objective it serves
  • A week of building the board deckThe board pack, built from the meeting’s locked record
  • The meeting pre-readThe leaders’ brief: what drifted, who to chase, and what keeps coming back
  • The “who is on what?” sheetCapacity: who is committed, for what share of their week, and who is over
  • Decisions lost in email and minutesThe decision log, with a reason for every stop and deferral
  • The shared folder of plan documentsDocuments filed against the meeting, objective or initiative they belong to

What it works alongside

  • Your task tracker

    The plan stops at milestones. Day-to-day tasks stay in Asana, Jira or whatever your teams use.

  • PowerPoint

    Trellis writes the board pack as an editable deck. You stop building it; you can still change it.

  • Your systems of record

    Each owner enters their reading in a one-number form. Trellis does not connect to finance or sales systems.

Chasing status stops being anyone’s job.

Reminders go out when a reading is due, the brief names who is late, and a milestone marked blocked goes straight to the initiative’s owner. The people who used to collect updates spend that time on the work.
