Hoshin Kanri for consultants: deploy the method, not spreadsheets

Every hoshin practitioner knows the curve: workshop enthusiasm in January, a beautiful matrix on the wall, and by the third month the spreadsheet is stale because nobody on the client side re-types execution data into it. The mission ends, the ritual decays, and next year's audit finds the matrix exactly where you left it.

What survives is not the diagram — it is the cadence plus a tool that keeps the data fresh without depending on anyone's discipline. That is the gap this platform closes: the matrix stays linked to the client's execution tools, and an agent does the weekly maintenance.

Each client is a separate organization: their own matrices, users, roles and audit log, strictly isolated from every other client (multi-tenant isolation is enforced on every query). You switch between clients with one account; they see only their own strategy.

Light white-label puts the client's logo on their workspace and exports. And the honest clause consultants rarely get from software vendors: when a client matures, they graduate to their own subscription and keep all their data. Your value is the method and the coaching — not a hostage-taking license.

One consultant, eight clients, eight weekly reviews to prepare — that arithmetic is why hoshin missions stay small. An AI agent connected through MCP changes it. For each client organization, the built-in weekly_sync prompt:

• Reads the client's initiatives and their linked execution projects (Linear, Jira — via each tool's own MCP).
• Updates initiative statuses and flags drift: execution work that maps to no initiative, initiatives linked to nothing.
• Drafts the review agenda: off-track KPIs, blocked initiatives, decisions pending since the last session.
• On demand, runs a deployment diagnosis on any strategic theme — how deep does it actually cascade?

The completeness score computes five metrics on any matrix: quadrant coverage, correlation density, orphan elements, vision-to-KPI chains, and leading/lagging indicator balance. For a coach this is gold: the critique is objective and non-personal. You do not tell the COMEX their strategy is incoherent — the score does, with the exact list of orphans and broken chains.

It also makes your impact measurable across sessions: the score's trajectory from the first workshop to the locked matrix is a before/after you can put in a case study.

The Partner tier is €290/month with three client organizations included, then €49/month per additional client — unlimited matrices per client, assisted onboarding, light white-label. During the beta everything is unlocked, and founding partners keep an advantage when billing starts and get a real say in the roadmap: the features consultants need (client templates, cross-client dashboards) are prioritized by the cabinets actually using it.
