Project intelligence for agencies

In ProgressLayer 1

Scope, staff, deliver, and learn from every project. A system that gets smarter with each project you close.

Thesis

Services firms have years of project data but no way to learn from it. LLMs can now extract patterns from unstructured history and use them to improve future estimates.

Signals

  • Phase 1 complete - Blueprint (scoping), Bench (talent), Retro (learnings) all working
  • Core loop functional: Scope → Staff → Deliver → Learn
  • Built in ~3 hours across 2 sessions - validates rapid development thesis

Smart CMS

AI-powered website migration and generation

Website migration is painful and expensive. AI can understand semantic structure (not just scrape HTML) and rebuild sites that clients can actually edit.

Changelog

Auto-generated product changelogs

Product changelogs are tedious to write. Fully automatable from git - freemium for public repos, paid for private.

Brief

Vague briefs → structured requirements

Creative briefs are vague and cause rework. Conversational AI can extract structured requirements through guided questions.

Recap

Structured meeting notes with decisions & owners

Meeting notes are inconsistent or missing. Differentiate on structure: decisions, owners, deadlines extracted automatically.

Intake

Client intake calls → structured requirements

Client intake calls are unstructured and notes get lost. Transcription APIs are mature enough to extract structured requirements automatically, saving 2+ hours per client.

Drift

Contract vs reality monitoring

Contracts say one thing, reality drifts another. Document parsing + email integration can surface mismatches automatically.

Pulse

Auto-generated project status updates

'How's the project going?' requires chasing people. AI can synthesize status from existing communication and tools.

Handoff

Instant project context for new team members

Onboarding new team members to projects is painful. Document synthesis can generate context from scattered materials instantly.

Terms

Contract review that catches risks

Reading contracts is tedious and risks get missed. Document comparison can surface unusual terms against your templates.

Forecast

AI-powered revenue forecasting

Revenue forecasting is spreadsheet hell. The data already exists in tools - AI can predict cash flow automatically.

Audit

SOW vs deliverables verification

'Did we deliver everything in the SOW?' requires manual checking. Cross-document matching can verify automatically.

Docs

Keep internal docs in sync with code

Internal docs are outdated or missing. AI can watch for changes and flag when docs need updates.

Onboard

Personalized employee onboarding plans

Employee onboarding is inconsistent. AI can personalize plans based on role while ensuring nothing is missed.

Standup

Async standups without the noise

Async standups are noisy or ignored. AI can synthesize updates and surface only what matters.
