the only line item with no agreed number, because most companies never measure it

None of this closes on day one. The one line item nobody measures is exactly what OakHive protects.

U.S. and U.K. benchmarks, shown as a directional reference rather than a Lithuanian or EU estimate.

You're already paying for this - you just don't have a number for it yet.

Nobody puts this on a budget line. It is spread across every new starter who spends six weeks finding out what the company already decided, and every team that solves a problem a second time because the first solution was never written anywhere. 

We are not going to put a number on your company. So put one on it yourself - these are your figures, and the arithmetic is deliberately simple enough to argue with.

People × ramp weeks × cost, times the productivity lost during them. That is your number, not ours. OakHive’s claim is narrower: most of those weeks go on rediscovering things the company already knew.

Thirty minutes, no deck. You describe something your team has explained more than once, and we show you what OakHive does with it.

We are taking on a small number of companies at a time, so this is a conversation rather than a signup.

We reply within two working days.

What you send reaches the people who read these themselves, and is used to reply to you and prepare for the conversation. It is kept for 24 months, is never sold, and never feeds an advertising system. There is none here. Privacy Policy.
