See how your attention is distributed across retainers, advisory engagements, board work, and short-term interventions.
Reveal the hidden effort
Preparation, follow-up, stakeholder alignment, and reactive messages often sit outside meetings. Record them without turning your work into a traditional timesheet.
Separate strategic from reactive work
Use activity types and projects to understand whether your time is going into leadership, execution, firefighting, or client administration.
Know when a retainer no longer fits
A client that repeatedly consumes more attention than planned can quietly reduce the capacity available to every other engagement. Xilo makes that pattern visible before it becomes a portfolio problem.
