Know what your org costs, builds, and needs - without the spreadsheet sprint.

Squado puts headcount, allocation, and real cost per squad, tribe, and alliance on one live canvas. Ask the question at 9:02. Answer it at 9:03.

  • "What does the Payments tribe cost this month?"
  • "Is anyone split across squads without us noticing?"
  • "The org chart is out of date. Again."

No credit card. First squad on the canvas in about 5 minutes.

The problem

One question. Too many tabs.

"What does the Payments tribe cost this month?" - and suddenly you're in Jira, a Google Sheet from 2023, Confluence, and two Slack threads. Every engineering org past ~30 people hits this wall.

"What does the Payments tribe cost this month?"
A 2-day spreadsheet sprint, every quarter
Live on the canvas - rates × hours, always current
"Are we over-allocated on senior engineers?"
4 Slack threads, zero clear answers
Shared allocations visible, conflicts flagged
"Why is Marcus in 3 sprint reviews on Friday?"
Nobody knows until he declines at 9 AM
Ceremony conflicts caught the moment they're created
"Do our OKRs connect to what squads are building?"
A meeting scheduled to schedule a meeting
Company → tribe → squad cascade, live on the canvas
"Which squad owns the checkout experience?"
Three squads touch it. None of them owns it.
Ownership tags on every squad - filter by product area
"Who's on Squad X - and who's their Tech Lead?"
Ask around on Slack, get three different answers
Members, roles, and leads on every squad card - always current
How it works

See the whole thing. Faster than a standup.

Watch NovaPay - our live demo fintech - run 70+ people, 5 tribes, and 10 squads on one canvas. Or skip the video and click around the real thing.

The 90-second tour

Canvas → OKRs → costs → ceremonies → insights. That's the whole pitch.

Drag-and-drop org Move a person between squads in one gesture.
OKRs that cascade Company goal to squad key result, one view.
Real cost, live Rates × hours, prorated for shared people.
Conflicts caught early Triple-bookings flagged before Friday finds out.
Five views. One canvas.

Change one thing. Everything updates.

Move a person between squads and the cost matrix recalculates. Link a squad to a company OKR and it cascades. Squado keeps the whole picture honest - because it's all one picture.

01 - Org Canvas

Your living org chart.

Not a diagram someone exports twice a year - the actual working surface where your org changes happen. Alliances, tribes, and squads drawn honestly, edited in place.

  • Drag-and-drop people between squads - allocation updates instantly
  • Filter the whole org by role, chapter, or product tag
  • Executive mode: clean, screenshot-ready view for board decks
  • Public read-only links for stakeholders - no account needed
02 - OKR Cascade

Strategy that reaches every squad.

Write a company objective. Cascade it to an alliance, a tribe, a squad, a key result. Then watch confidence roll back up - without a single status meeting.

  • Company → alliance → tribe → squad → key result, one thread
  • Contributors check in on progress without edit access
  • ON TRACK / AT RISK / OFF TRACK colors visible right on the canvas
  • Full check-in history with notes, dates, and owners
03 - Financial Matrix

Cost per tribe. In seconds.

Set hourly rates per role once. Squado turns rates × hours into real monthly cost for every squad, tribe, and alliance - no formulas, no formula debt.

  • Rates by role × allocated hours = real cost, live
  • Person shared across squads? Cost prorated automatically
  • Financial visibility controlled per person, not just per role
  • Filter cost views by chapter or role for finance reviews
04 - Ceremony Intelligence

Meetings that don't surprise you.

Every ceremony across every squad in one calendar - with the two things no calendar shows you: who's double-booked, and what each meeting actually costs.

  • Per-person conflict detection the moment a ceremony is scheduled
  • Meeting cost in dollars, from the participants' real rates
  • Weekly calendar and list view, side by side
  • Filter by squad, tribe, or person
05 - Org Health & Insights

Gaps caught before they cost you.

Squado watches the whole org and raises a hand when something drifts - the problems you'd normally find in a retro, surfaced the day they start.

  • OFF TRACK OKRs with no check-in for 14+ days
  • Squads running with no ceremonies at all
  • People allocated to 3+ squads at once
  • Missing Tech Lead - or any required role - per squad
  • Squads where everyone is shared and nobody is 100% committed
Ceremony Intelligence

Your teams' time is your biggest expense.
Now you can see it.

Every squad's ceremonies in one calendar. Every conflict flagged the moment it's created. Every meeting priced from the real rates of the people in the room.

Why switch

Before Squado. After Squado.

Before Squado
Headcount in one spreadsheet, costs in another, statuses in Jira
Org chart outdated the week it's published
"What does this tribe cost?" takes two days and a pivot table
OKRs written in Confluence in January, forgotten by March
Squad check-ins collected by chasing people on Slack
Ceremony conflicts discovered when someone declines at 9 AM
Nobody knows the sprint review costs $612 per session
Product ownership is tribal knowledge - "ask Marcus, he knows"
After Squado
One canvas: structure, costs, OKRs, ceremonies - always current
Org chart updates the moment you drag a person
Cost per squad, tribe, and alliance - live and filterable
OKRs cascade company → squad, visible on the canvas all quarter
Contributors check in themselves - no edit access needed
Conflicts flagged the moment two ceremonies collide
Every ceremony shows its real cost in dollars
Every product area has a visible, filterable owner
What teams say

The meeting you'll cancel first.

"

We went from three hours of alignment meetings a week to a Slack message with a canvas link. The org question just… stopped being a meeting.

First quarterly cost review that took minutes instead of two days. Finance asked what changed. The answer was: we stopped rebuilding the spreadsheet.

In my first hour I found four squads without a Tech Lead. We'd been running that way for months and nobody had the full picture to notice.

Squads and tribes aren't labels here. They're the data model.

Squads live inside tribes. Tribes live inside alliances. Chapters and guilds cut across all of it - and Squado draws every layer as a first-class object.

SquadSmall cross-functional team. Owns one product area.
TribeSquads that share a mission. Costs and OKRs roll up.
AllianceTribes moving toward one goal. The top level.
ChapterSame craft across squads. All backend engineers, say.
GuildOpt-in community of interest. Cuts across the org.
Pricing

FAQ

The questions buyers actually ask

Yes - that's usually the first thing it replaces. The difference: a Confluence page is a snapshot that's stale the week it's published. The Squado canvas is the working surface where changes actually happen, so it can't drift from reality. You can share a read-only link with anyone, which replaces the exported PNG too.
No seats, no per-user math. Pricing is a flat rate per workspace, tiered by number of squads. Everyone in your org can be on the canvas - you only pay more when your org grows past 6 squads.
No. Most teams start with one tribe, get value the same day, and expand from there. On the Growth plan, AI import turns a pasted spreadsheet into squads, roles, and allocations automatically.
Your data stays intact and read-only until you pick a plan - nothing is deleted. We email you three days before the trial ends. No credit card is required to start, so there's no surprise charge.
Yes. Squads, tribes, alliances, chapters, and guilds are native building blocks, but every one of them is optional and renameable. If you run tribes without alliances, or call squads "pods," the canvas adapts to how your org actually works.
Admins manage everything. Editors change the org. Contributors can check in on OKRs without edit access to the structure. Viewers see the canvas. Financial data has its own per-person visibility switch - and public read-only links let stakeholders see the org without an account.

Five minutes from now, your org is on a canvas.

Sign up, paste your people from a spreadsheet - or let AI import them - and watch your first tribe appear. No credit card. No sales call. No IT ticket.
