Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for funded founder-CEOs about DeTask, the free 10-minute CEO assessment and the 360° leadership assessment.
What is DeTask?
DeTask is the CEO Command Center for people, AI agents and partners. It shows funded founder-CEOs whether their people, AI agents and partners are moving the numbers they promised investors, starting with a free 10-minute CEO assessment.
Who is DeTask for?
Founder-CEOs of funded B2B tech and AI-native companies, typically after a Series A or early Series B, with 20 to 200 people. They have several direct leaders, work with outside partners, use AI agents and report to a board of investors, without a CIO or an enterprise IT stack.
What problem does DeTask solve?
Funded CEOs have more data than ever: CRM, finance, product analytics and a dashboard for every AI tool. What they lack is a clear answer to one question: are we on track to hit the numbers we promised our investors, and why? DeTask connects company goals to the people, AI agents and outside partners who move them, and shows the CEO what each one delivers.
What is the free 10-minute CEO assessment?
A 10-minute AI-led interview, conducted by DeTask's AI agents, that shows the CEO what the company needs to achieve, in numbers. It is free and needs no setup and no data connection.
What happens after the CEO assessment?
Goals cascade from the CEO to every leader and to outside partners, each with clear numbers to work on. The CEO gets the KPIs needed to manage people and AI agents.
How does DeTask show what our AI agents are doing?
DeTask gives the CEO three views: Execution Intelligence shows which tasks will be executed next, the Execution Graph shows your AI organization and what it costs, and the Command Center shows the full picture of people, AI agents and results.
Do my leaders have to update another tool?
No. Each leader gets an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection to DeTask. There is no technical installation: a configuration file connects the data, so numbers come from connections instead of manual updates.
How is DeTask different from OKR software?
OKR tools track people's objectives. DeTask shows what people, AI agents and outside partners deliver against the CEO's numbers.
We already track our goals in Notion or a spreadsheet. Why DeTask?
Goal documents track intentions, not results. They do not know what your AI agents did last week or what your agency delivered. DeTask connects your goals to live numbers from your people, agents and partners.
How is DeTask different from enterprise AI control towers?
Enterprise AI agent governance platforms are built for IT teams inside large software suites. DeTask is a CEO Command Center: it shows results to the CEO, includes outside partners and requires no enterprise stack.
Are we too small for DeTask?
Small teams with many AI agents and outside partners need visibility the most. Enterprise tools are not built for them. DeTask is.
Can DeTask include outside partners?
Yes. Goals cascade to outside partners such as agencies, outsourced developers, fractional CFOs and sales or marketing partners, so you see the results they deliver, not just activity reports.
Is it safe to connect our data?
The CEO assessment runs on DeTask's secure AI infrastructure, built on AWS Bedrock. Customer data and assessment answers are never used to train AI models, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The free assessment requires no data connection.
Does DeTask replace our existing tools?
No. DeTask works alongside your CRM, finance, HR and planning tools and the AI agents you already use. It connects them to your company goals instead of replacing them.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is based on the number of leaders using the platform. This keeps costs predictable and aligned with leadership scope.
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes. The platform supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
What exactly is the 360° leadership assessment?
The 360° assessment evaluates leaders across 19 competencies. Leaders complete a self-assessment, while managers, peers, and direct reports answer the same questions. This creates a clear view of perceived vs actual leadership impact.
Who can participate in a 360° assessment?
Any people manager or emerging leader. Raters typically include a manager, 3 to 8 peers, and 3 to 10 direct reports.
How long does it take to set up a 360° assessment?
Implementation usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. We handle setup, communication, and follow-ups.
How long does the 360° assessment take to complete?
Most participants complete it in 3 to 5 minutes.
Is the 360° assessment anonymous?
Yes. All feedback is anonymous to ensure honesty and reliable insights.
What competencies are measured?
We measure 19 leadership competencies across four dimensions: self-management, people relationships, organizational influence, and system impact.
Can we customize questions or rating scales?
No. The methodology is fixed and validated to ensure consistency and comparability.
What reports do leaders and HR receive?
Leaders receive individual reports with strengths, risks, blind spots, and action plans. HR receives aggregated insights, discrepancies, and progress tracking across teams.
Why is self vs 360 discrepancy important?
It reveals blind spots. Large gaps often indicate misalignment that impacts performance, engagement, and retention.
How does the platform help leaders act on feedback?
It provides clear insights, reflection questions, and priority areas. Development happens outside the platform through coaching or training.
How often should we run the 360° assessment?
Most organizations run it every 6 to 12 months, depending on how quickly leaders act on feedback.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. Many companies start with one leader and scale after validation.
What research supports the 360° leadership assessment?
The 360° assessment uses leadership methodology co-developed with Fundação Dom Cabral, one of the world's leading executive education institutions. Related peer-reviewed research is published in the International Journal of Scientific Management and Tourism (DOI: 10.55905/ijsmtv11n3-006).
Is DeTask a registered trademark?
Yes. DeTask® is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
