One cycle in spreadsheets. It worked — but only because Mahir chased every update personally.
Mahir read Measure What Matters and decided OKRs were the answer for Trillium. He ran the first cycle in spreadsheets across 105 people. People updated their OKRs — but only when he followed up individually. He was the single point of failure for the entire org's OKR process.
At 130 people, that wasn't sustainable. He needed a system where the tool did the chasing, not the founder.
Enterprise software was off the table. Spreadsheets had already failed.
Trillium was still scaling. Enterprise OKR platforms meant procurement cycles, implementation projects, and per-user fees that didn't make sense at their stage. But spreadsheets had proven they couldn't hold the weight of a 100-person org without someone manually driving every update.
He needed something with no learning curve, no implementation project, and no founder bottleneck.
250 OKRs migrated. Whole org live. Same day.
Mahir found OKRs Tool and reached out. The team imported all 250 OKRs from his spreadsheets and set up the full user list as part of concierge onboarding. Trillium subscribed to Scale on day one.
Nobody needed training. The system was already structured and ready when the team logged in for the first time. By January 2026, as the team grew from 105 to 130 users, Trillium upgraded to Expand.
The Goals page — full OKR visibility across every team, no training required
130 people. Zero training. No founder chasing updates.
