Who This Is For

When growth outruns alignment

For founders who know their teams are shipping,
but can't tell if they're shipping the right things.

Scaling past first hires

Vision is clear at the top. It's not translating into what each team measures and ships every week.

Multiple teams, no shared metrics

Engineering, BD, and product each track different things. No one can tell if the project is winning or just busy.

DAO or distributed team

You have governance commitments and community proposals. You don't have operational OKRs teams can own between votes.

Preparing for institutional scrutiny

Investors and partners want structured execution metrics, not just a roadmap and a token chart.

FAQ

Common questions

Small teams benefit most from clarity on what actually matters. An OKR framework for a 12-person protocol isn't a corporate bureaucracy layer, it's a shared answer to 'what are we all working toward this quarter?' Vincent starts with minimal viable OKRs at the company level and two key teams, not a full-org rollout.
The framework is adapted specifically for Web3: onchain data sources, tiered transparency for community vs. internal metrics, and rolling cycles that account for market volatility. Arbitrum DAO recently passed a Strategic Objective Setting proposal that lets the community adjust objectives through governance. OKRs align with decentralized governance when designed correctly.

If your teams don't yet have a clear picture of your current data maturity and measurement gaps, the Data Strategy Audit is the right first step. It's a $999 structured review that identifies exactly where the alignment problems are, and whether an OKR strategy engagement makes sense for your stage.
