Strategy & Goals
Goals & OKRs, connected to the work
See the work, runs, and results behind each goal.
Keep the objective, constraints, owners, tasks, and artifacts connected from planning through acceptance.
More output can still mean less focus.
When agent work sits outside the plan, leaders cannot show which goal it served, what it cost, or what should stop when priorities change. The missing link is a durable connection between the work and its reason.

Plan from the result down.
Set the objective, add the needed context, and connect it to the work that must finish.
Start with the objective
Name the result, owner, measures, constraints, and supporting brief. Skip fields that do not help the work.
Break it into owned work
Break a goal into projects and tasks, each with its dependencies, workflows, and artifacts attached.
Let work report progress
People and connected agents update the task as the situation changes. The goal stays linked to current work.
Example — fictional team and data. Not a live run or customer result.

Keep the reason with the work.
The objective, constraints, and decision history stay available when a person or agent takes the next step.
Brief once
Attach the goal, constraints, comments, dependencies, and artifacts to the assignment instead of rebuilding the prompt.
Trace the full chain
Move from a goal to its projects, tasks, runs, artifacts, and acceptance decisions.
Make changed priorities visible
Update the goal and its context where the linked work can see the new direction.
Example — fictional team and data. Not a live run or customer result.

We already do OKRs in a spreadsheet or a tracker.
A goal document states the plan; it cannot see the work. Aestus connects the plan to the projects, tasks, runs, and artifacts beneath it, and your existing tracker can stay in the workflow.
