Your company's judgment is your last defensible advantage. Convictional helps you compound it.

The tools people use to work together are broken. We're building better ones. Software that fits how thoughtful teams actually get things done.

About us

Convictional exists to: keep teams mission-aligned by design.

We believe that AI should be an enabler of more rational companies, and more satisfied knowledge workers. We aspire to enable organizational health, which means each stakeholder of a business benefits from what AI does to enable better work, in fewer working hours, with improved financial results.

Our values

Focused Intensity

Do a small number of things well, with the shortest iteration time possible.

Caring Deeply

Every person in the company should care deeply for customers and each other.

Extreme Simplicity

Complexity gets in the way of quality. Ask: is this essential? If not, reconsider.

Disciplined Growth

We're building a large, profitable and independent company with discipline.

Craft Excellence

Judgment rights should be allocated by experience, not hierarchy.

Pro Human

No matter how capable AI becomes, it should remain a human tool.
