Tasks lie.
Effort does not.
Your strategy declares what matters.
Are your top priorities actually getting funded?
DreamEffort scores misalignment by priority weight: a 5% gap on your #1 initiative shows differently than the same gap on your #5. Real activity. No timesheets. No estimates.
Try the DemoThree questions you can't answer fast.
When 4 initiatives slip at once, which one hurts most? You don't know — slips aren't all equal weight.
Where is your team actually spending time vs. what you declared as priority? Status reports won't tell you.
Are your underfunded #1 priorities staying that way? You'll find out at the quarterly review — too late.
The only way to answer these today: Excel, manual rollups, and hope the data is still fresh.
DreamEffort shows you where effort actually goes — and which gap hurts most.
