SHEPHERD

Every company deserves an OKR shepherd.

Our mission

Give every team the follow-through that only the best-run companies have today, so goals set in January still matter in December.

Why we exist

The best-run companies have one person who keeps goals alive.

That person reads every goal, notices when two teams are doing the same work, runs the weekly check-in, and will not let a missed commitment close without a lesson. Most companies do not have that person, and the ones that do cannot clone them.

SHEPHERD does that job as software, for everyone, every week. It coaches each goal as it is written, keeps every goal on one map tied to the priority it serves, finds the collisions people miss, recommends each person's next steps from their own key results, and writes them a short Monday note on what needs them.

The AI proposes. A named person decides. That line runs through everything we build.

SHEPHERD runs on Claude by Anthropic, and every customer's goals live in their own database.

How we build

Four principles

Decisions, not homeworkEach person sees the few things that need them this week. Nothing on what is going well.
A person decidesShepherd finds and proposes. Every finding is decided by a named human.
Simple enough for anyoneA director who has never used an OKR tool can check in within two minutes, without training.
Your goals stay yoursOne database per company, the AI sees only what each person can see, and nothing trains a model.
