The primitives

Six primitives. One thread.

Most tools stop at charts. Boardgrade is built on six objects that connect raw data to a decision — and the chain they form is the product.

Every finding, sourced. Every action, approved.

  1. 01

    Signal

    A normalized fact pulled from a connected tool — MRR, demo starts, error rates, stale deals — made comparable across sources.

    Every tool tells a partial truth. Signals make them agree on one.

    Demo starts

    -22% WoW

  2. 02

    Evidence

    Provenance attached to every claim. Each statement cites the signals and events behind it, so you can check the work.

    No insight without receipts.

    Issue

    The durable object at the center of everything. Severity, status, owner, and history — it persists until someone resolves it.

    Charts expire. Issues stay open until they're closed.

  4. 04

    Action

    Insight turned into execution: create the Linear issue, draft the customer note, schedule the save call — proposed, never assumed.

    Read-only by default. Nothing writes without your yes.

    The Pulse

    One sentence about the whole business, every day — plus a weekly check-in and a monthly board review. Phone-readable, always.

    Max five cards. No metric buffet.

    Drifting

    Pipeline is moving, but qualified volume is below the $100M path.

  6. 06

    Outcome

    The destination you choose — sell, raise, bootstrap, scale. It calibrates every threshold, every interruption, every review.

    Metrics tell you where you are. The outcome tells you if it matters.

What we refuse

No dashboard archaeology.

If you have to go digging for what changed, the tool failed. The read comes to you.

No metric buffet.

Five cards, maximum. Everything else is a watch item until it earns an interruption.

No claims without receipts.

Every statement cites its sources. Correlation is labeled as correlation.

No silent writes.

Read-only by default. Draft-first for anything customer-facing. You approve, then it acts.

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect a source.

    Start with Stripe. One source, one operating read — value before you finish your coffee.

  2. 02

    Pick your outcome.

    Sell in 24 months. Raise. Bootstrap. Your outcome calibrates what matters and what deserves an interruption.

  3. 03

    Read, decide, approve.

    A daily pulse, durable issues, proposed actions waiting on your yes. Board-grade discipline, no board required.

Every function, one question

  1. 01

    Revenue

    Are we growing, leaking, or hiding risk?

  2. 02

    Pipeline

    Are enough qualified buyers moving through the funnel?

  3. 03

    Growth

    Is demand increasing, decreasing, or shifting?

  4. 04

    Product

    Are users reaching value?

  5. 05

    Customer

    Who is blocked, unhappy, or ready to expand?

  6. 06

    Reliability

    Is the product working?

  7. 07

    Operations

    What is stuck, unowned, or slipping?

  8. 08

    Automation

    Is the AI front office resolving customer work?

Your funnel, your letters — stage models are per-workspace. Run classic AARRR, or make the third A stand for Automation. The primitives don't care; they group however you operate.

Know what changed before the company runs aground.
