Frequently asked
What operations can Orion handle?
Orion handles digital operations: budget tracking, schedule coordination, blocker escalation, resource allocation visibility, and operational reporting. It syncs with your tools (Linear, Notion, Slack) to maintain awareness without manual updates.
What if I have 'real' operations?
If you have physical operations (office, inventory, hardware), vendor relationships, or compliance requirements, you'll eventually need human ops support. Orion can still help with the digital coordination work.
Can Orion help with hiring/HR?
Orion focuses on operational coordination, not HR. For hiring support, you'd want dedicated recruiting tools or help. But Orion can track hiring milestones as part of your initiative management.
How does budget tracking work?
Orion connects to Stripe for revenue and can integrate with banking feeds for expense tracking. It monitors burn rate, runway projections, and alerts you when spending deviates from expectations. You set the thresholds - Orion watches and alerts.
Can Orion write investor updates?
Yes. Orion compiles your key metrics (revenue, burn, milestones, team updates) into a draft investor update. You add commentary and color, then send. What used to take hours becomes a quick review and polish.
Is my financial data secure?
OrgX uses bank-level encryption (AES-256) for all data. We process metrics and patterns, not raw credentials. Read-only connections where possible. SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress. Your financial data never leaves your control.
