What’s the most expensive “invisible work” your team does every week?

I keep noticing that a surprising amount of work isn’t the work itself it’s the coordination around it:

• Chasing status updates across chats, docs, meetings, and task tools

• Re-explaining decisions because context is scattered

• Turning strategy into execution plans manually

• Realizing a project is blocked only after a deadline slips

• Following up on owners, dependencies, and next steps

We’ve been thinking about this deeply while building WorkElate, an AI-native workspace designed to help teams connect strategy, planning, execution, and context in one place.

But I’m more interested in how other teams experience it:

What is the coordination task your team repeats most often—and what have you tried that actually reduced it?

I’d especially love to hear from founders, product leaders, and operations teams managing work across multiple tools.
