Plan the work
Turn priorities into work that traces back.
Set priorities, define SMART goals, break them into projects with owners, stages, and deadlines. Progress rolls up automatically — from project to goal to priority — so the plan's status is never a matter of opinion.

Budgets
Keep money and outcomes in the same conversation.
Budgets attach to the goals they fund — categories, line items, amendments, health scoring, fiscal-year comparison, and CSV export. When council asks what a priority costs, the answer is one click, not one weekend.

Engagement
Hear from residents while decisions are still open.
