The board

The home screen is an answer, not an inbox

Sending a document is the easy half. Knowing where twelve of them are on a Thursday afternoon is the half that costs you weeks, and it is the half Baton is built around.

A coordinator moving one paper note among columns of notes on a glass wall.

What this looks like today

“Did that ever go out?”

The answer lives in a sent-items folder, a spreadsheet somebody stopped updating, and two people’s memory.

Things stall silently

A document waiting six days on one person looks exactly like a document waiting six minutes, until a deadline passes.

Chasing is a whole job

Working out who to nudge means opening each document one at a time and reading who is next.

What Baton does about it

  1. 1

    Everything in flight, ordered by urgency

    Overdue first, then what needs you, then what is waiting on somebody else. The most important row is the top row, always.

  2. 2

    The current holder, and how long they have had it

    Not “sent 12 March”, but the person it is sitting with right now and the age of the wait, because that is the number that tells you whether to act.

  3. 3

    Chase from the row

    One click sends a nudge to whoever is holding it. Or set a cadence once and let Baton do it: every other day, three times, then stop and leave it to you.

What is true right now

Every line below describes something the product does today. Nothing on this page is a roadmap item wearing a feature’s clothes.

  • Counts for needs-you, waiting, overdue and completed, each linking to that filtered list.
  • Median time from send to signed, and whether it is getting faster or slower.
  • An email that bounces is flagged on the board, not counted as delivered.
  • The six most recent sit on the board; the rest are one click away in the library.
