Question 1

What does ExecuteOS do?

Accepted Answer

It tells you whether the people who have to execute your next priority are ready to do it, and then runs the team sessions that make them ready. You describe the priority, ExecuteOS finds the areas where your team has to be aligned, scores the execution risk in each one on evidence, and generates a program of sessions your team plays together.

Question 2

What counts as a “priority”?

Accepted Answer

Anything a team has to start executing: a new strategy or OKRs, a reorganisation or new operating model, a new process, a policy rollout, a product or pricing launch, a decision, or values and culture that have to show up in daily work. If it fits none of these, pick “something else” and describe it.

Question 3

What does “execution readiness” mean?

Accepted Answer

A team is ready when it has three things at once: shared knowledge (everyone understands the plan the same way: what, why, who, when), shared conviction (people believe in it and are committed), and shared practice (they have agreed what they will do differently). Agreement in a leadership meeting is not readiness. Readiness is measured in the teams that have to act.

Question 4

How do the three dimensions combine into one score?

Accepted Answer

As a geometric mean: multiply the three and take the cube root. All three count, and a weak one pulls the score down hard, because execution fails where the team is weakest. A team that knows the plan perfectly but is not convinced will not execute it, and a plain average would hide that. The read shows all three dimensions and the evidence behind each.

Question 5

Who is ExecuteOS for?

Accepted Answer

Leaders and teams that have decided something and now have to make it happen: executives, team leads, transformation and HR teams, and the people who join the sessions. No facilitation skills are needed.

Question 6

Is this a training platform or an AI chat?

Accepted Answer

Neither. It is a readiness engine. AI generates the content for your specific priority; the session mechanics (everyone answers alone first, then the team converges and locks one shared answer) are fixed, patented and the same in every session.

Question 7

Do I need an account to try it?

Accepted Answer

No. The readiness scan is free and needs no sign-up. You describe your priority on the homepage, the builder asks a few questions, and you get the alignment areas, the risk read and a simulation without creating an account. You sign in only when you want the program and its sessions.

Question 8

What should I share to get a useful read?

Accepted Answer

The thing to execute and the company it is for. Attach the real material if you have it: the strategy deck, the OKR sheet, the memo, the new org chart, the process description, the policy, the launch plan. The more real material, the more specific the areas and the sessions. Accepted files: PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text and Markdown. Long documents are fine; the builder digests them in sections.

Question 9

What if I only have a sentence?

Accepted Answer

The builder will ask you for what it needs before it analyses anything: the goals, the hard choices, who has to act, what changes for whom. “We don’t have that” is a valid answer and becomes part of the read. The scan starts only when the essentials of your kind of priority are covered, because areas extracted from one sentence would be generic.

Question 10

Can I talk instead of typing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tap the microphone on the homepage composer and speak; the transcript lands in the field and you can edit it before sending. Voice input needs microphone permission and works best in Chrome or Safari.

Question 11

What are the chips under the composer?

Accepted Answer

Hints of what teams typically execute. Tapping one starts your message (“We need to execute our new strategy: ”) so you only add the specifics. Inside the conversation, chips are answer buttons: tap one, or press its number key while the composer is empty.

Question 12

What are the three steps?

Accepted Answer

Every scan follows the same three questions: 1. What does your team need to execute next? You share the priority and the company context. 2. How ready are they to execute it? You get the alignment areas, the risk per area, the readiness statement, and a simulation of how a session takes the team from split to aligned. 3. What will get them ready? The program: one session per alignment area, and the readiness your team is projected to reach once it completes them.

Question 13

Does the builder move on by itself?

Accepted Answer

No. Each step ends with the builder asking whether to go ahead. You answer with the chip, a plain “yes” or your own words. Nothing is analysed, planned or built without your go.

Question 14

Can I change my mind or add information later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell the builder in the chat. If you add context after a step has a result, the builder proposes what would change and asks before re-running anything. Questions and brainstorming are answered without touching the results.

Question 15

What is an alignment area?

Accepted Answer

One topic inside your priority where the team has to understand, believe and act the same way for execution to work. A pricing change might split into “what we stop discounting”, “how we explain the new value to existing customers” and “who decides exceptions”. The builder extracts the areas from your material, most important first, and each one becomes one session.

Question 16

How is the risk scored?

Accepted Answer

Each area is scored on the three dimensions (knowledge, conviction, practice) with an evidence-first rubric: the builder looks for signs in your material and your answers, not for sentiment. Every score shows the evidence it rests on, and anything the builder added or assumed on its own is marked as such, so you can see what is yours and what is an assumption.

Question 17

Can I correct the areas or the risk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the panel on the right you can edit an area’s title, summary and details, add or remove areas, and reorder them. In the chat you can contest a risk read with your own evidence (“we trained everyone on this in March”) and the builder re-scores that area on it. Risk levels are never set by hand; they are re-scored on what you tell the builder.

Question 18

Why do I see nothing on the right at first?

Accepted Answer

The panel reveals results as they exist: nothing until the areas are extracted, then the areas, then the readiness read, then the program. What you see there is always real output, never a placeholder.

Question 19

What is the simulation?

Accepted Answer

A short demo, built on your own areas, of how one alignment session takes a team from a split to a shared answer, with the clearest examples of where people diverge. It is a demo, labelled as such, not a result from your team. You can show it or skip it; the full program comes after you sign in.

Question 20

What does the readiness statement mean?

Accepted Answer

One sentence that answers “how ready is the team”, with a short explanation. It names the dimension that pulls readiness down most and why, because that is where execution will fail first. The areas and the detailed risk sit under it.

Question 21

How are the readiness before and after calculated?

Accepted Answer

Execution readiness = exposure × alignment × commitment: how many of the people expected to execute are meaningfully reached, how far they share the same understanding, conviction and practice, and how many commit to it. Today is estimated for the plan simply sent by email: 66.2% of employees open an internal email and 14% of them only skim (PoliteMail, 2026); alignment comes from your risk read; commitment is the 43% of employees willing to support organizational change (Gartner, 2022). With ExecuteOS everyone who completes the program ends up aligned and committed, because every failed alignment and every missing signature is followed up. So the projection is the share of your team expected to complete it: 80% plus up to 15% for how visibly the company backs it (a named sponsor, a mandate to take part, a deadline, a link to the company's top goals). You can set that expected completion yourself on the program page.

Question 22

What is in the program?

Accepted Answer

One session per alignment area, in order of importance. Each session is built to close the gaps that area’s risk read found, on all three dimensions: it builds shared knowledge first, then conviction, then practice, and ends in a measured result or a signed team contract. The program page shows how each session does that and a before and after projection of readiness.

Question 23

What happens inside a session?

Accepted Answer

A sequence of short activities the team plays together on their own devices: a welcome and a short briefing, then rounds in which each person answers alone first (a rating, a choice, a list, a ranking, a sorting, a quiz, a short text), followed by a group round in which the team discusses everyone’s answers and aligns on one shared answer. Some rounds have a correct answer that is revealed only after the team aligns. Many sessions close with a team contract that everyone signs.

Question 24

How long is a session?

Accepted Answer

About 45 to 60 minutes. The engine sizes every session to fit one hour; a session that genuinely needs more is flagged rather than silently extended.

Question 25

Does it need a facilitator or trainer?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform orchestrates the session: it times each activity, shows everyone the same briefing, waits for the whole team before moving on, and guides each person on what to do next. Nobody has to run the room.

Question 26

How is the content created?

Accepted Answer

AI writes the content for your priority, from your material: the questions, the options, the cases, the explanations. The structure and the mechanics come from a tested library of alignment strategies and are not improvised. Every built session passes a set of design rules before it is accepted; a session that fails them is repaired or reported as failed, never shipped quietly.

Question 27

Do all sessions build at once?

Accepted Answer

After you create the program, session 1 builds by itself. The remaining sessions build on your go, one tap, and build in the background while you keep working. You can open and play session 1 before the others are done.

Question 28

Can I edit a session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every text of a built session can be edited in place in the panel, and so can activity content such as options, scales and briefings. Your edits are locked: the builder keeps them in later rewrites and tells you when it does. If you want a session rebuilt from scratch, say so; the builder asks before discarding your edits.

Question 29

Can I add my own video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Give the builder the link (YouTube, Vimeo or a direct file) or upload a file, and it goes onto the video step you name. Uploaded video is hosted by ExecuteOS.

Question 30

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The builder answers in the language you write in. Program content is generated in the program’s language; a workspace can enable English, Bulgarian and German and choose the language per program.

Question 31

Can I preview a session before playing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every built session opens in a walkthrough that plays it with simulated teammates, so you see every screen your team will see, on desktop and phone.

Question 32

When do I have to sign in?

Accepted Answer

When you want the program and its sessions. The scan, the areas, the risk read and the simulation are free and anonymous. The moment you tap “Create the full program” you are asked to sign in or create an account, and the program starts building right after.

Question 33

How do I sign in?

Accepted Answer

With Google, with Microsoft, or with an email address and password. Password sign-ups verify the email address first; the link in the verification email signs you in.

Question 34

Will I lose what I did before signing in?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything carries over: the conversation, the areas, the risk read and the simulation move into your workspace the moment you sign in, on any device. An anonymous scan that is never claimed is deleted after seven days.

Question 35

What is a workspace?

Accepted Answer

The place where your organisation’s programs live. A workspace has owners, admins and members; owners and admins manage members, settings, languages and the look of the sessions (logo, colours, fonts). Each program also has its own owners, editors and viewers.

Question 36

What does the free plan include?

Accepted Answer

The full readiness scan and the program: alignment areas, the risk read with its evidence, the simulation, the built sessions, the preview walkthrough and the published execution readiness page.

Question 37

What does the paid plan add?

Accepted Answer

Live plays: running the sessions with your real team and getting measured readiness from them. It also unlocks the most capable AI models in the model menu. Live plays are per workspace, so every program in a paid workspace can be played.

Question 38

How do I upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Book a demo or contact ExecuteOS. Plans are set by ExecuteOS for the whole workspace; there is no self-serve upgrade in the product yet.

Question 39

Can I invite colleagues to build with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Invite them to the workspace or to a specific program. Editors can change the program; viewers can read it and the results.

Question 40

How do I start a session with my team?

Accepted Answer

Open the program, pick the session and start a play. You get a join link to send to the team. One play is one team running one session; a larger group plays as several teams, each with its own link.

Question 41

Do participants need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. They open the link, enter their name and email, and they are in. Nothing to install.

Question 42

Can we play remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When the play starts, the host says whether everyone is together in person or at least one person is remote. A remote team needs a shared call (Teams, Zoom, Meet, any link) for the discussion rounds; the platform shows the answers and runs the session, the conversation happens on the call. Without a call or a shared room the experience degrades, so add the link when asked.

Question 43

What devices work?

Accepted Answer

Any recent browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Every screen has a phone layout.

Question 44

What does a participant actually do?

Accepted Answer

Read a short briefing before each activity and tap “I’m ready”. Answer alone. Then look at everyone’s answers, discuss, and align on one team answer. A guide on screen always shows the one thing to do next, who the team is waiting for, and what completes the task. Nobody is put on the spot: individual answers are shown as the start of the discussion, never graded.

Question 45

What if someone drops out or is late?

Accepted Answer

The session never waits for a lost connection: a person who disconnects is not counted until they are back, and the team can go on. Someone who is present but idle does hold the team, by design, and teammates can send a one-tap nudge. A briefing starts automatically after 45 seconds so one person never holds the room.

Question 46

Can the host pause the session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pausing freezes the activity clock for everyone; resuming continues where the team stopped.

Question 47

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

The session’s stated length, usually 45 to 60 minutes. Every activity has its own time and the timer is visible to everyone.

Question 48

What is recorded?

Accepted Answer

The team’s answers, the individual answers before each group round, the agreement reached in each round, any signed team contract and the before and after measurement the session was designed for. Participants see the result at the end of the session and can download the contract or the artefact the team produced. The results feed the program’s statistics and the Readiness Intelligence.

Question 49

Where do I see how ready my teams are?

Accepted Answer

The Readiness Intelligence in your workspace. It shows every program with a 0 to 100 readiness index, the three dimensions before and after the sessions, how many people were reached, aligned and committed, who is fully ready, and the points the team failed to align on.

Question 50

How is the readiness index calculated?

Accepted Answer

Execution readiness = exposure × alignment × commitment, counted over person-sessions: one person in one session they must attend. Exposure is the share of required person-sessions completed (the person took part, submitted every individual step and stayed to the end). Alignment is the share of those where the team aligned on every point of the session. Commitment is the share where the person signed the team contract; a program with no team contract asks for no commitment, and its score leaves it out. Ready is 80 and above, Forming 60 to 79, Not ready below 60. A program stays capped at Forming while any dimension is 15 or more points below its bar. Next to it you see how many people are fully ready: every one of their sessions completed, aligned and signed.

Question 51

Are the numbers real?

Accepted Answer

Yes, always. Every figure comes from a completed play. Nothing is estimated or filled in; a program with no plays shows no readiness score.

Question 52

What is a failed point?

Accepted Answer

A statement the team did not align on after the group round. The overview lists them with who was affected and in which plays. Each one needs a follow-up: one tap creates a small follow-up program of three exercises, two preparatory and the failed one replayed.

Question 53

What is the execution readiness page?

Accepted Answer

The published page of a program: the priority, the readiness statement, the areas and their risk, the program and its sessions, and the simulation. Publishing freezes a version and gives you a link you can share with people who have no account. Edit the program afterwards and publish again to update the page; the link stays the same.

Question 54

What are the certificates?

Accepted Answer

Seven Alignment Certificates, one per dimension of the organisation: Strategy Aligned, Structure Aligned, Ways of Working Aligned, Culture Aligned, Leadership Aligned, Right People Right Seats, and Capability Ready. Starting a certificate opens the builder on a program focused on that dimension; the certificate is earned by running the program with the team.

Question 55

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

In the EU, on AWS in Frankfurt. No personal data is cached at the edge.

Question 56

Is ExecuteOS certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ISO/IEC 27001:2022, audited by CSB Ltd., certificate ISMS/262177/BG valid until 18 January 2029. ExecuteOS is GDPR compliant. Details are on the Security page.

Question 57

Who can see my material and my program?

Accepted Answer

Your workspace members, according to their roles. An anonymous scan is visible only in the browser that started it until it is claimed by an account. A published readiness page is visible to anyone with its link, and only what you published is on it. Session participants see only the session they are playing.

Question 58

Is my material used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

Your documents and conversations are used to build your own readiness read and program. They are not used to train models for other customers.

Question 59

What do participants have to give?

Accepted Answer

A name and an email address to join a session. Their individual answers are shown to their own team during the session as the start of the discussion and are recorded with the results of that play.

Question 60

What is the uptime commitment?

Accepted Answer

A 99.9% monthly uptime target, a four-hour initial response to critical incidents and service credits of up to 50% of the monthly fee, as set out in the Service Level Agreement.

Question 61

Who owns what?

Accepted Answer

You own your material and the programs built from it. ExecuteOS owns the platform and the session mechanics, which are protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,585,326 (granted 24 March 2026) with a European application pending (EP 4781267). AHAPLAY is a registered trademark in the US, EU and UK. Details on the IP and Ownership page.

Question 62

Something in the builder is not working. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Reload the page first: a running build or analysis keeps going on the server, and the page picks it up again. If a session build fails, the program shows it as failed with the reason; ask the builder to rebuild it. If the problem stays, write to us with the program link.

Question 63

How do I get a demo?

Accepted Answer

Book a 30-minute demo from the website. Bring the priority your team has to execute next and watch it turn into a readiness read and a program live.

Question 64

How do I contact ExecuteOS?

Accepted Answer

Email hello@executeos.com, or use the book-a-demo page on the website.
