Use case · Efficient teams
Fast teams delegate the coordination.
Most of what slows a team down is not the work, it is the machinery around it: the meetings, the chasing, the who-is-doing-what. Cedric runs that machinery, in Slack, with an approval gate on everything.

- Coordination is real work with a real cost: meetings, chasing, and status questions eat hours that never show up in any plan.
- Cedric moderates meetings end to end: agenda, timeboxes, decisions with owners, minutes posted, follow-ups booked.
- Chasing becomes a standing instruction: polite, persistent, and escalating to you only when ignored.
- Visibility comes from the tools where work lives, so nobody performs status for the record.
- Anything that sends, changes, or spends waits for your approval. Delegating coordination is not losing control of it.
The meetings
Every meeting ends with owners.
Oliver Brandt9:14 AM
@Cedric run tomorrow's leadership meeting. Agenda from the open threads, 25 minutes, hard stop.
CedricAPP9:15 AM
Agenda drafted from what moved this week: the launch timeline, the two overdue invoices, the hiring decision. I'll keep time, capture every decision with an owner, and book the follow-ups before the call ends. Minutes land in #leadership before you're back at your desk.
Timeboxed by a third party
Nobody has to be the person who cuts the discussion off. Cedric holds the clock, so the humans can hold the argument.
Decisions get owners
A decision without an owner evaporates by Friday. Cedric writes both down in the moment, in front of everyone.
The follow-up is already booked
No scheduling thread afterwards. The next session lands on calendars before this one ends. More in [Cedric in meetings](/use-cases/meetings).
The chasing
Persistent, polite, and not you.
Grace Adeyemi10:02 AM
@Cedric the design review has been waiting on feedback for three days. Chase it, kindly.
CedricAPP10:03 AM
Nudged all three reviewers with the direct link and what it's blocking. Two have answered already. If the third hasn't by tomorrow 09:00, I'll escalate to you with the thread attached.
Set once, runs forever
Make it a standing instruction and the chase happens every week without anyone remembering to be annoying.
Escalation by exception
You hear about the one ignored nudge, not the nine that worked. The channel stays quiet and meaningful.
Kindness at scale
Every nudge carries the link, the context, and no guilt trip. Firm is a schedule, not a tone.
The visibility
See the week without calling a meeting.
Felix Andersson11:26 AM
@Cedric what did the team actually ship this week?
CedricAPP11:27 AM
Nine things shipped, four in review, three stuck, two decisions waiting on you. The full pulse is in the thread: what moved, who's blocked and why, and the one deadline at risk.
From the tools, not the team
The answer comes from the tracker, the repo, and the calendar, so it reflects the work, not the recollection of it.
Exceptions first
The stuck items and the waiting decisions lead. Nine fine things never bury the two that need you.
On a schedule, or on demand
Ask once, or make it Friday's standing pulse. Either way nobody compiled anything by hand.
The weekly pulse, at a glance
The same answer as a picture: one line per state, the ones needing attention in front.
Illustrative week, compiled from the connected tools.
The arithmetic of coordination, for a team of six. Substitute your own numbers.
- 4ha week of meetings that one moderated 25-minute session could replace
- 3ha week of chasing and being chased across threads
- 322ha year, at 46 working weeks: two working months of coordination
Arithmetic as stated: (4 + 3) hours × 46 weeks. No external study involved.
What this is not
Visibility is not surveillance. Cedric reports the state of the work (what shipped, what's stuck, what's waiting), not keystrokes or hours online. The difference matters, and the product is built on the right side of it.
Cedric moderates meetings; it does not chair them. What gets decided is yours. It keeps time, writes things down, and books what was agreed, which is precisely the part nobody wants to do.
And the gate holds everywhere: reading and compiling happen freely, but anything that sends a message, changes a record, or spends money waits for a person to say yes.
FAQ
No. Cedric joins your Slack workspace once and works in the channels it's invited to. One Cedric, one shared memory, priced by work done rather than per seat. See [pricing](/pricing).
From the tools you connect: the tracker, the repo, the calendar, the sheets. Cedric reads the state of the work there, so status is observed rather than self-reported.
Put it on the invite or drop the call link in the thread. It joins the call, keeps the agenda and the clock, captures decisions with owners, posts the minutes, and books the follow-ups. The full story is on [Cedric in meetings](/use-cases/meetings).
Exactly what you configured: after the nudges you chose, it escalates to you with the thread and the ages attached. Nothing is ever silently dropped.
