FAQ
Should we leave Helix Plan for Brainloot?
If enterprise planning is required, keep Helix Plan. Use Brainloot when the pain is daily focus and Unity context-switching.
Does Brainloot do capacity planning?
Brainloot emphasises Hand WIP and board progress today. Deep capacity planning is not the primary surface.
