Goals
The goal reads its own work.
The progress ring is computed from tasks you can open, not from a number somebody typed in on a Friday.

What you get
Everything below ships today.
- Three levelsCompany, team and personal, with the same shape at each level so a cascade is a link rather than a retyping.
- RollupA parent goal's progress is computed from its key results and its children. Nobody maintains a second number.
- A verdict, not a voteOn track, at risk or off track is derived from progress against time elapsed, the same way for every goal.
- Effort panelThe tasks linked through the KRA show up on the goal as the work that is actually moving it, without anyone attaching them by hand.
- Owned by a personA goal has an owner and a department. What a role owns is the KRA, and the two are linked rather than confused.
- Check-insUpdate a key result with a note and the history stays on it, so the story of the quarter is readable after it.
Questions
Straight answers.
Who can set a goal for someone else?
A manager assigns goals down their own reporting line. Everyone can see the company goals.
Does progress update itself?
Rollup and the verdict are computed. A key result's own value is updated by its owner, or moves with the KPI reading it is tied to.
Can I see which tasks moved a goal?
Yes. The effort panel lists the linked work with its owner, which is the audit of the quarter most teams never had.
