Pitch Guide
You recognize that One Horizon is a more effective way to report on progress without manual status updates. Here's how to help everyone on your team see it too.
This isn't a 10% efficiency tweak. This is a structural shift: automatic progress tracking for modern engineering teams.
Zero workflow change
Your team keeps working exactly as they do today. No new rituals. No new process. One Horizon captures work signals in the background and generates recaps automatically.
Standups become optional or take 10 minutes instead of 30. Status updates disappear. "Quick syncs" to gather progress become unnecessary.
Built for trust, not surveillance
One Horizon gives developers credit for their work. Developers review all recaps before sharing. You control what's visible and when. We capture work signals (commits, tickets, meetings) not keystrokes or screenshots.
No time tracking. No micromanagement. Just automatic credit for the work you already do.
Security by design
All data encrypted and stored exclusively in EU regions. We inherit your existing permissions. If you can't access a repo or channel, neither can we.
Read our security practices and privacy policy.
No rip and replace
One Horizon doesn't replace Jira, Linear, or GitHub. We make them more useful by reducing manual updates and keeping data synchronized.
Your team keeps using the tools they know. We just eliminate the busywork around them.
Free to start
Free during beta. Starter plan free forever (10 seats, 3 teams, all integrations). Paid plans start at $10/month per user.

How to pitch One Horizon to executives
Primary objection: Our current reporting process works fine
Your organization may think progress reporting works fine. The reality is that self-reported status creates an illusion of visibility while engineers lose hours to busywork.
Dig into sprint reviews, executive updates, or quarterly planning. You'll find deep inefficiencies.
We provide a single source of truth
Capture progress from commits, PRs, tickets, and meetings automatically. No standup docs, status threads, or custom dashboards to maintain.
We deliver high-quality data
No self-reported fields. No manual updates. Engineers don't skip anything because there's nothing to skip.
We eliminate reporting overhead
Every team gets the same quality without manual work. Backend, frontend, infrastructure all report the same way.
Leaders make accurate decisions
Real-time visibility from actual work signals. No stale data. No incomplete information. Reports people actually trust.
Engineers ship features, not status
Every hour saved from writing status updates is an hour spent building.
We retain top talent
Stop making engineers spend hours each week on busywork. Let them do what you hired them for, and what they enjoy most.
100-person engineering orgs reclaim $2M to $5M+ annually in productivity value.
The question isn't how much better One Horizon is. It's how much productivity is lost each week by sticking with works fine reporting. Given that engineering time is an organization's most expensive resource, the productivity gains justify this switch many times over.

How to pitch One Horizon to engineering leads
Primary objection: Data security and access control
Your lead may be concerned about third-party access to repositories and work data. One Horizon inherits your existing permissions and was built with enterprise-grade security from day one.
We inherit your permissions
If you can't access a repo or channel, neither can we. No broad access required. No custom permission systems.
We're transparent about data
All data encrypted and stored in EU regions. Read our security practices and privacy policy.
We give developers control
Developers review all recaps before sharing. You control visibility. We capture work signals (commits, tickets, meetings) not keystrokes or screenshots.
Leads save 8 to 24 hours per week
Stop gathering updates manually. Get real-time visibility with automatic standup reports.
Fewer status meetings and syncs
Fewer Slack threads asking for updates. Fewer "quick syncs" to gather status. More time executing.
Leads focus on unblocking
Shift from asking "what's the status?" to "how do I unblock this?".
Small teams unlock $3K to $10K+ per month in productive time.
The question isn't whether One Horizon is secure. It's how much leadership capacity is lost each week gathering updates that could be automatic.

How to pitch One Horizon to developers
Primary objection: This is just more tracking software
Your teammates may be skeptical that One Horizon is "just another tool to track us". One Horizon gives developers credit for their work without adding tracking burden. It's the opposite of surveillance software.
We trust developers
No keystroke monitoring. No screenshots. No time tracking. We capture work signals from commits, PRs, tickets, and meetings you're already creating.
Developers control visibility
You review all recaps before sharing. You control what's visible. Nothing is shared without your approval.
We add zero work
No status updates. No manual fields. No time tracking. One Horizon captures signals you're already creating.
We give you credit
Build an automatic portfolio over time. Stop re-explaining what you shipped. Your recap speaks for itself.
Developers stay in flow
Standup prep disappears. Fewer "quick status checks". Faster return to deep work.
Your work speaks for itself
Zero time writing status updates or filling out Jira fields. Your commits, PRs, and tickets become a clear narrative.
The question isn't whether One Horizon tracks your work. It's whether you'd rather spend your time writing code or writing status updates.
How to pitch One Horizon to portfolio managers
Primary objection: We already get updates from portfolio companies
Portfolio managers often feel they have enough visibility from founders or reports. In reality, by the time information reaches them, it's been distilled, summarized, and retold so many times that it rarely reflects the actual work happening in engineering teams.
Real-time, accurate insight
One Horizon captures signals directly from commits, tickets, PRs, and meetings. Portfolio managers can see the actual progress, not just filtered updates.
Reduce friction and uncertainty
Your portfolio companies spend less time manually reporting. They can share structured updates through release notes and team insights automatically, giving portfolio managers confidence without chasing information.
Better decision-making
Faster, more accurate visibility helps portfolio managers understand which initiatives are progressing, identify bottlenecks early, and see where support is most needed.
Align stakeholders without micromanagement
Portfolio managers, founders, and internal teams get the same data. No extra meetings, no email threads, no "please explain this again" moments. Transparency becomes effortless.
The question isn't whether you can get updates manually. It's whether your money and your teams deserve clarity and efficiency.
How to pitch One Horizon to dev agencies and engineering partners
Primary objection: Our developers already prove their expertise
Agencies and consultancies often struggle to stand out. Activity on GitHub, LinkedIn, testimonials, or internal trackers can be misleading, and potential clients have no reliable way to verify skills or expertise.
Verified, automated expertise
One Horizon captures not just what your teams do, but context: frameworks, libraries, integrations, complexity, and categories of work. Clients see your developers' real capabilities.
Build client trust
Share verified work automatically. Instead of just claiming expertise, your teams can provide tangible evidence of their impact.
Reduce manual reporting
Developers don't need to create portfolios or status updates manually. One Horizon generates structured, shareable insights automatically.
Stand out from competitors
A clear, verified record of work becomes a differentiator. More trust, more confidence, more wins for your agency or consultancy.
The question isn't whether your developers are good. It's whether clients can easily see it and trust it.
Why One Horizon
Built for the AI era
AI coding tools accelerate output. Manual reporting can't keep pace. One Horizon closes the visibility gap.
