OutcomeDev is software that runs the work a business has to keep doing. This section explains what it does, what it asks of you, and where it stops.
What OutcomeDev is
Most work inside a business repeats. A filing is due on the same date each year. A licence runs out. An inspection has to be booked. An invoice goes unpaid and somebody has to ask for the money. A new venture needs a set of milestones cleared before it can open.
OutcomeDev takes that repeating work and runs it. You give it a business name, a website and one sentence about what the business does. It reads the website and the sentence, works out everything that business has to keep running — statutory filings, licence and registration renewals, inspections, payroll, certifications, client chasing, supplier terms, and the milestones that get a new venture open — and writes that onto a desk as a list of work with real calendar dates.
Then the desk works the list. It prepares messages, chases, files, checks statuses and watches expiry dates. Where a decision is genuinely yours, it asks you. Everything else it does, and records what it did.
How it works
- You describe the business. A name, a website, and one sentence. That is the whole sign-up. See Getting started.
- OutcomeDev proposes the work. A session reads the website and the sentence and writes the list onto the desk with dates. You confirm it or correct it.
- You connect what the business runs on. Mailbox, accounting software, document storage and the rest, from about 23 services. See Connections.
- The desk runs. Every business has a daily run, so work happens whether or not anyone is watching. You see what is in flight on the desk, and you can reach the same desk through the chat companion.
An item is one thing on the desk. One filing, one renewal, one chase, one milestone. The plan counts items. It never counts people: adding a colleague to the account costs nothing.
