Worknano vs. Lattice: OKRs That Live Next to Your Projects, Customers and People
Most companies set goals in one tool and do the work in five others. The objective lives in a goal platform, the project in a board tool, the pipeline in a CRM and the discussion in a chat app. Every quarter someone exports numbers, pastes them into a key result and hopes they are still true by the review. The goals become a reporting exercise instead of a way to run the company.
Worknano starts from a different premise: goals belong in the same place as the work they measure. OKRs, projects, chat, CRM, secrets, events, forms and dashboards run on one platform, with the same UI, the same UX and the same database. And because the whole workspace is customizable with AI, it fits the way your company plans instead of forcing your planning into someone else's template.
1. One Platform, One Interface, Customizable with AI
Worknano is not a goal tool with integrations attached. It is one operating platform where every module is built the same way. An objective, a key result, a deal, a task and a form submission are all records in the same database, governed by the same roles and shown with the same interface patterns. Learn one screen and you know them all.
The Module Builder lets you shape that platform in plain language. Describe what your team needs, and the AI proposes the modules, fields, pages and workflows to match. Want an extra field on objectives, a page for a quarterly planning ritual, or a workflow that notifies a lead when a key result slips? Ask for it. You review and apply, and the result is part of the same workspace, not another tool to wire up.
Worknano also stays focused. Instead of piling on features nobody asked for, it concentrates on the core problems teams face every day: setting direction, tracking goals, running projects, managing customers and talking to each other. The core functionality is deep, and anything specific to your company is added through AI customization rather than by buying another product.
2. OKRs Organized the Way Your Company Is
Open OKR in the sidebar and the structure of your company is already there. The org navigator lets you focus on a division, a team or a program, and the year and quarter selector sits right on top. It defaults to the current quarter, and you can switch ahead to draft next quarter or back to review a past one.
- Objectives and key results: objectives are the parent rows. Expand one to see its key results with progress, status and owner.
- RACI ownership: every OKR can name who is responsible, accountable, consulted or informed, so ownership is never a guess.
- Goals, Moals and Statements: annual or multi-year goals sit above quarterly objectives, mid-term goals (Moals) cover work that spans more than one quarter, and statements hold your vision and mission.
- Filters that matter: filter by owner, status or org unit and search titles, right from the list toolbar.
- Sensible defaults: leads set the default year and quarter for new OKRs in settings.
3. Progress From Live Data, Not From Memory
A key result has a target and a current value, and progress is a number. Type the new value after a win and progress moves. There is no board to drag and no slide to update.
Where it fits, the current value can be connected to live data. Bind it to a count or a sum from another model, such as closed deals in the CRM or finished tasks in a project, and the key result updates itself as the work happens. Because the OKR and the record it counts live in the same database, there is no sync job, no export and no number that drifts out of date.
Workflows do the follow-up. Owners can be notified when a key result is at risk or achieved, and objective progress rolls up from its key results. A red badge in the sidebar reminds people when key results they own have not been updated for a while.
4. AI That Checks Every Goal
Vague goals are the most common reason OKRs fail. In Worknano, AI is built into the OKR page itself.
- Wording check: from the row menu, ask the AI to check an objective or key result. It tells you whether the result is clear and measurable before anyone commits to it.
- Approval built in: submit an OKR for approval from the same menu, so leadership signs off inside the workspace instead of in a separate thread.
- OKR assistant: open the page assistant with the sparkles button or Ctrl/Cmd+J and ask about objectives, key results and owners in plain language.
- Within your permissions: the assistant answers using only what the person asking is allowed to see.
5. Goals Next to Projects, Customers and People
Because every module shares one database, OKRs stay connected to everything around them. Link objectives to the projects that deliver them. Let key results count deals from the CRM. Every person sees their own RACI rows under My → OKR, next to their tasks and events, so the goals they own are part of their daily view, not a page they visit once a quarter.
Conversations stay connected too. In Worknano Chat, type # to link a real record, including an objective or key result, and anyone with access can open it in one click. Dashboards draw on the same live data, so the numbers in the quarterly review are the numbers the team works with every day.
6. What a Separate Goal Tool Really Costs
A standalone OKR tool looks tidy, but it adds costs that rarely show up in the first quote:
- Copied data: progress has to be retyped from the CRM, the project tool and the finance sheet, so key results are only as current as the last manual update.
- Lost context: the goal sits in one app and the work behind it in another, so nobody can click from a missed target to the projects and deals that explain it.
- Separate permissions: teams, managers and visibility rules are maintained twice, and the two sets drift apart.
- Separate logins: every extra tool is one more account to create, secure and remove when someone leaves.
- Per-seat bills: each tool charges for each person, so the cost of growing the team multiplies across the stack.
In Worknano, OKRs share one database, one permission model and one login with the rest of the workspace. There is nothing to keep in sync.
7. Pricing: Per Company, Never Per User
Worknano is priced per company, never per user, so bringing every team into the goal-setting process never raises the bill.
- Early access: free for early-stage startups.
- Business: for growing teams that want the full platform.
- Enterprise: adds white-label, SSO, a DPA, dedicated or on-premise deployment, and an SLA.
The Verdict
A separate goal tool gives your company another place to report on work. Worknano gives it a place to steer the work: OKRs organized by period and org unit, key results fed by live data from projects and the CRM, AI that checks every goal, and one UI, one database and one permission model across every module, all shaped to your company with AI. Set the goals where the work happens, and they stay true all quarter.
