Explore. Plan. Act. One workflow, in that order.
Every feature below maps to the pillar it serves: Explore in seconds (peers and benchmarks), Plan in two hours (peer-calibrated scenarios with a Board-readable narrative), Act in days (board pack, accreditation submission, strategic plan doc — published).
