DesignStrategic Roadmap

From one-page strategy to 12-month plan in one click

Ratified canvas goes in. Four quarters, 12-16 ranked initiatives, KPIs per quarter, and one-click cascade into tasks + use cases come out. Stop re-typing strategy into a project plan — our AI engine does it in one coherent pass.

How it works

Start with a ratified Strategy Canvas. The roadmap generator reads your ambition, where-to-play domains, top moves, and 90-day commitments — then builds the next 12 months around them.

the AI writes four quarters in one coherent pass. Per-quarter theme, narrative, 2-4 KPIs, and 3-5 ranked initiatives with owner roles, effort estimates, and expected impact. Sequencing matters — Q2 builds on Q1, so the model thinks about the whole horizon at once.

Tick the initiatives you want to cascade. One click creates matching tasks in `/dashboard/tasks` and use cases in `/dashboard/use-cases`, each back-referenced to the roadmap initiative via `source_roadmap_initiative_id`. Idempotent — already-cascaded initiatives skip.

Ratify when the team agrees. Ratified roadmaps are immutable — regenerate to adjust, which produces a new draft at the next version. Supersession keeps the history; the exec team can always diff this quarter's plan against last quarter's.

Strategy decks don't execute themselves

Without the roadmap generator

  • Strategy document and project plan drift apart within weeks
  • Tasks created in Jira/Linear with no back-reference to the strategy they serve
  • No quarter-by-quarter KPI gates — progress is vibes-based
  • Re-typing strategy into a slide deck every quarter burns exec hours

With the Strategic Roadmap

  • Every task and use case drill-ups to its parent initiative via source_roadmap_initiative_id
  • Quarter KPIs enforce hard gates — you can't 'just move on' if Q1 didn't land
  • the AI rewrites quarters in situ when priorities shift — no manual reshuffle
  • The roadmap is one source of truth for strategy, board pack, OKRs, and tasks

What's inside the roadmap

Four-quarter structure

12 months sliced into four coherent quarters with themes that compound. Q1 foundation, Q2 scale, Q3 agents-everywhere, Q4 prove-value is a common shape — customised per your canvas.

Priority-ranked initiatives

Every initiative has priority 1 (must-ship), 2 (should-ship), or 3 (stretch). Visually distinct in the timeline so exec focus is unambiguous.

One-click cascade

Tick initiatives, click Cascade. Tasks and use cases created in one batch, linked back to the source initiative. Idempotent — re-cascade is safe.

Stacks on Frontier Firm Designer

When a cascaded initiative belongs to a function in the Frontier Firm Designer, the link is carried through — one drill-up from task back to the org-design function.

Regenerate without losing context

New ratified canvas? Priorities shifted? Regenerate the roadmap and the AI rewrites quarters in the same version shape. Already-cascaded tasks keep their back-references.

Auditable supersession

Ratified roadmaps are immutable. Regenerate produces a new draft. When ratified, it supersedes the prior version — full history preserved.

1

Ratify the canvas

The roadmap consumes a ratified Strategy Canvas as its input. No canvas? Draft one first — the assessment feeds it.

2

the AI generates the roadmap

Four quarters, 12-16 initiatives, narratives + KPIs per quarter. Typically 18-25 seconds. Cost-guardrailed at 3 regenerations per day per org.

3

Cascade priority-1 initiatives

Tick the Q1 priority-1 boxes. Click Cascade. Tasks and use cases materialise in the respective systems with back-references.

4

Ratify and review each quarter

Two owner/admin signatures lock the roadmap. Review quarterly — regenerate when the business shifts, not every sprint.

Previously the strategy lived in one Google Doc and the backlog lived in Linear, and they diverged inside a month. Now the strategy is in-app, the roadmap cascades into Linear automatically, and the board pack pulls from the same source. One tree, not three trees.

Included with Pro

Requires a ratified Strategy Canvas as input. Both Canvas and Roadmap are included in every Pro plan.
