(Strativarius Symphony)
One operational truth.
Clear next actions.
Demonstration workspace with sample data.
The problem
Growth turns informal habits into hidden cost.
What worked at ten people starts to leak at thirty. The business spends more effort reconstructing what is true, just when it needs to move faster.
The spreadsheets disagree
Headcount, rates and project budgets live in different files. Each is right to someone, and no one is sure which to trust.
Customer promises live in messages
A follow-up agreed on a call sits in someone’s WhatsApp or inbox. When they are away, the promise is away too.
Goals drift away from the work
The year’s objectives are set in a meeting and revisited at the next one. In between, the work that should move them goes unmeasured.
The facts sit with different people
Leave, time, salaries and documents are held by whoever manages them. Answering a simple question means asking three people.
Who it is for
Built for organisations of 5 to 200 people.
For owners and operators who need a reliable view of commitments, without an operations team or an enterprise-software budget to run it.
Owners
A calm daily view of what needs a decision, and the evidence behind each number.
Managers
Team load, approvals and daily reports in one place, before work is committed.
HR
Records, reporting lines, leave rules and weekly time, with private details kept private.
Finance
The books, project budgets and payslips in one place, with an audit trail that cannot be switched off.
Sales and marketing
Customers, opportunities and follow-ups, where every promise becomes a task someone owns.
Everyone
One list of their own work, on a phone or a desk, with the next step made obvious.
How the parts work together
From a goal to a decision, without re-typing a fact.
Each part of Symphony owns one kind of fact and hands it to the next. Nothing is copied between tools, so nothing drifts.

Decision
Objectives and Key Results
OKRs
Set governed objectives and key results, with pace, evidence and recommendation workflows.
Efficiency
Key results link to the shared tasks and projects that move them, so progress is gathered from the work, not a spreadsheet.
Transparency
Every figure shows how it was measured and how fresh it is. People are never turned into scores.
The decision
Decide what to fund, pause or stop from pace you can trace.
Shared work and capacity
Projects
Shared tasks in list, board, week and timeline views, with recurring work, approvals, capacity and daily reports.
Efficiency
One task record appears in Projects, on Home and in manager views. No parallel lists to keep in step.
Transparency
Managers control completion and review, so ‘done’ means someone checked it.
The decision
See your team’s load before you commit to the next deadline.
HR records, leave and time
People
Workforce records, reporting lines, leave rules and applications, weekly time and authorised employment information.
Efficiency
Approved leave informs work planning automatically, without anyone forwarding a calendar.
Transparency
Projects sees that someone is away, never why. Sensitive details stay with the people authorised to see them.
The decision
Plan delivery on who is actually available.
Customers and opportunities
Marketing
Contacts, customers, opportunities, follow-ups and campaigns, with explainable performance evidence.
Efficiency
A confirmed follow-up becomes the same kind of task as project work, with an owner and a date.
Transparency
Campaign results carry their source and are reviewed before they count.
The decision
Know which customer commitments are at risk, and who holds them.
Books, project costs and payroll records
Finance
Double-entry books with buying, selling, invoices, stock, bank reconciliation, statements and GST working sheets, alongside project codes, budgets, private rates, timesheets, salaries and payslips.
Efficiency
Orders, bills and invoices post to the ledger through one path, and timesheets feed project cost, so month end is a check rather than a rebuild.
Transparency
Journals cannot be edited or deleted, only reversed, and every posting keeps its audit trail. Forecasts state their formula. Symphony never moves money.
The decision
Know a project’s margin, and what is owed either way, while there is still time to act.
The daily view and the record
Home, privacy and audit
One daily view of immediate work and outcomes, plus consent, retention, access reviews and audit history.
Efficiency
Each person starts the day with their next useful action, not a wall of dashboards.
Transparency
Access, approvals and sensitive actions can be reviewed inside the product, not only in server logs.
The decision
Answer ‘who did this, and on what authority?’ in a minute.
Better decisions
Numbers you can challenge.
Explainable numbers
Forecasts, balances and progress keep their formula, evidence and freshness. If a number looks wrong, you can see why.
Consequence before action
Material changes show what will happen, and ask for confirmation, before anything is saved.
One authority per fact
Workforce, project, finance and customer facts each have a named owner, so a report never has to choose between two versions.
Finance: what is owed either way, and what needs a decision
Projects: progress, and what needs you next
What it’s worth
What scattered operations cost.
We will not quote you a saving we have not measured. Here is where the money usually goes, and one worked example.
Overlapping subscriptions
Separate tools for customers, projects, HR, goals and accounts, each billed per user.
Reconciliation time
Managers’ hours spent chasing status and merging spreadsheets instead of running the work.
Promises that slip
Follow-ups with no owner, found after the customer has noticed.
Overruns found late
Project cost seen at month end, when it can only be explained, not prevented.
Illustrative example — not a customer result
A 40-person services firm
Today: a customer tool for 8 sales users at ₹2,100, a project tool for 40 users at ₹600, an HR tool for 40 users at ₹250 and a goals tool for 10 users at ₹500, each per user per month.
Symphony: Symphony Orchestra for all 40 people, billed annually. It also includes the books, which the tools above do not.
Current tools, per year
₹6,69,600
Symphony Orchestra (annual billing), per year
₹6,47,520
Difference in subscriptions
₹22,080

Questions
Before you ask.
Can we start smaller?
Yes. Symphony Solo is a complete plan: your projects, with OKRs and People built in. When you’re ready, Symphony Concerto adds Finance or Marketing, whichever you need first, and we’ll set it up with you.
Is Human Intelligence software?
Decision-making, much like democracy, is for people, by people, and of people. While our abilities are undoubtedly augmented by technology (Artificial/Super and the works), we use a healthy dose of elbow grease and human sweat to ensure our recommendations are tailored to your business and the people who matter most to it.
Who owns our data?
You do. Each workspace is separate, and people see only what their role allows.
Can we move from spreadsheets?
Yes. We set up your workspace with you during the walkthrough, starting with the records you use most.
Does Symphony do our accounts?
Yes. Finance includes double-entry books, invoices, stock, bank reconciliation, statements and GST working sheets. We set up your books with you, and recommend your chartered accountant reviews them before you rely on them. Symphony prepares GST working sheets; it does not file returns.
Does it connect to Google, Microsoft or WhatsApp?
Symphony doesn’t read your inbox or your chats. A promise made on WhatsApp counts in Symphony once someone confirms it as a task with an owner and a date.
Can we sign up online?
No. Every workspace starts with a guided walkthrough, so it fits how your organisation works.
