Socratic unifies task management with productivity intelligence, to show you how well you work and why, with real-time data to guide your daily decisions to their best result.
@bradhipps - Congrats on the launch! I'm excited to see how Socratic takes the burden of data entry off the user and provides actionable insights. Can you share how Socratic's productivity intelligence can be customized to cater to different industries or team structures?
@salil_sethi Thank you! To your question: we have an opinionated view of what matters (and should be measured) when it comes to product and software engineering. This is because we see product building, at the highest level, as being about turning ideas into working software. You can read how this translates into the data we surface in our Guide, specifically Chapter 4, "How Should Engineering be Measured?": https://socraticworks.com/guide.
Great job on the launch! It's amazing to hear that the product was in closed beta for 523 days. Your dedication and hard work are truly impressive. Best of luck with this exciting new chapter!
@kate_bovkunova Thank you, Kate! I know... I wondered if I was typing that figure wrong. We had some really awesome design partners. And, you know, sometimes good things take time ;)

@kate_bovkunova thank you! It's been a great journey and we wanted to make sure we had built something we and our design partners loved before doing a launch.
Socratic started from a single, lasting frustration. Every task tool we've ever used was high tax, low return. In those tools, you do all the data entry, and then you do all the sorting, sifting, and spelunking to try to understand the state of work.
We wondered: what if we flipped the equation? What if we made a task system that works for you? What if we built something that wasn't just Jira with nicer lipstick, something that was much more than (as one early Socratic user described Jira), "A form UI over a database that tells me nothing about the way we work"?
Enter Socratic.
Socratic harnesses your work activity and shows ways of working easier, faster, better—all with no manual inputs. Your daily activity drives Socratic's insights; real-time insights drive stronger work health. Think of it as a fitness tracker for teams.
What does this mean, practically? A few examples:
✅ Rather than tying up engineering cycles debating story points or t-shirt sizes—time-consuming work that's inevitably wrong—estimated effort is delivered automatically based on historical actuals by person and type of work.
✅ Instead of explaining the amount of work on your plate (something that may change daily), we compute and show in real-time the work distribution for you and your teammates.
✅ In place of debating and guesstimating when work will finish, Socratic renders an intelligent forecast, based on historical actuals, workloads, and a range of other variables not otherwise available to the human eye.
✅ For executive or board meetings, product and engineering leaders graduate from pivot tables and hand-rolled reports to instant, benchmarked performance data and recommendations, based on trends over the previous months, quarters, or years.
The past decades have been about engineering automation (DevOps, etc.). This decade will be about engineering intelligence. Here's that beginning. Keen to hear feedback!
