Orbit

A quiet dashboard for tracking early-stage ideas — signals, momentum and the moment to stop.

Problem

Teams track shipped work well and unshipped ideas terribly. Ideas die from neglect, not judgement.

Idea

Give every idea a heartbeat, and make the absence of a heartbeat visible.

What we built

A single-surface tracker where each idea carries evidence, momentum and an explicit kill criterion.

How it works

Signals are logged against an idea; momentum decays over time so stalled work surfaces itself without a meeting.

Learnings

  • Writing the kill criterion first changes which ideas get started.
  • Decay is a better prioritisation mechanic than ranking.

Future direction

Public read-only boards so an idea can attract collaborators early.
