The short version
What each is built for.
Perdoo
Perdoo is an OKR and strategy execution platform. It ties OKRs and KPIs to a visual strategy map and adds check-ins, performance reviews, 1:1s and recognition, with an AI coach that helps teams write goals and apply the method.
- Laying out strategy as a visual map from purpose to pillars to goals
- Running OKRs and KPIs side by side, with regular check-ins
- Coaching teams to write better goals and adopt the OKR method
- Connecting goals to reviews, 1:1s and recognition
Dotwork
Dotwork is an AI-native enterprise operating platform built on the Enterprise Operating Model: one live, graph-based model that connects strategy, capital, work, technology and AI across the enterprise. For OKRs, Dotwork connects objectives and key results to the investments, budget, capability cost and architecture behind them.
- Connecting objectives and key results to the investments, budget and capability cost behind them
- Tracing strategy through funded work to the capabilities and applications it changes
- Keeping decisions, approvals and expected benefits as records beside cost
- Giving leaders one model across strategy, portfolio, technology cost, architecture and AI
The core difference
How Dotwork and Perdoo approach the problem.
Perdoo helps organizations adopt OKRs and KPIs well, around a clear strategy map. Dotwork holds OKRs in an enterprise operating model, where objectives connect to funding, capability cost, architecture and AI.
Context
Perdoo holds context in the strategy map and the goals beneath it. Dotwork holds it in a graph where objectives, investments, capabilities, applications and cost are linked records.
Decisions
Perdoo supports decisions with goal progress, KPI health and check-in insight. Dotwork supports them with investment scoring, benefits and capability cost on the same records as the objective.
Time
Perdoo runs on goal cycles, check-ins and reviews. Dotwork keeps plans, decisions and record history across planning cycles, so leaders can see how funding and priorities moved.
Change
Perdoo helps teams build the OKR habit through coaching and simple workflows. Dotwork starts from a reference Enterprise Operating Model, shapes it to the customer and connects existing systems.
Architecture and data model
Side by side.
Perdoo is shaped around goal adoption: a strategy map frames the goals, and check-ins and reviews keep them current. Dotwork is shaped around the enterprise model, where an objective links to the investments that serve it, the budget that funds them and the capabilities and applications they change. Capability cost comes from the model's allocation runs and is shown in Dotwork.
| Dimension | Perdoo | Dotwork |
|---|---|---|
| Core model | Strategy map with OKRs and KPIs beneath it | Graph-based Enterprise Operating Model spanning strategy, portfolio, cost, architecture and AI |
| Objectives and key results | OKRs and KPIs with alignment, check-ins and progress tracking | OKR views with key-result measures, score distribution and the investments that serve each objective |
| People | Reviews, 1:1s, pulse checks and recognition | Teams and labor connected to the work and capabilities they serve |
| Funding and cost | Financial targets can be tracked as KPIs or key results | Objectives connected to budget, funded investments and allocated capability cost |
| Integration posture | Integrations with collaboration and work-management tools | Reads delivery and finance systems into one model and leaves them running; no write-back |
The role of AI
Where the AI gets its context.
Perdoo applies AI to coaching and goal quality. Dotwork applies AI across a connected operating model, so questions about objectives can reach funding, cost and architecture.
Perdoo
Perdoo includes an AI coach that answers OKR method questions, suggests strategic pillars and helps teams write and refine goals.
Dotwork
Dotwork's assistant answers questions across the whole model, so one question can run from an objective to the investments, capability cost, architecture and AI spend behind it. Chat agents can create and update Dotwork records with optional human review, and an MCP server exposes the model to outside AI tools. These AI features are enabled per site, and Dotwork's agents change Dotwork records only.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
Can Dotwork replace Perdoo for OKRs?+
For objectives, key results, alignment and strategy trace, often yes: these views are in production in Dotwork. Dotwork does not run performance reviews, 1:1s or recognition, so teams that rely on those in Perdoo need another tool for them.
Does Dotwork offer OKR coaching?+
Not as a product feature. Dotwork's assistant can answer questions about objectives and the work behind them, but Perdoo's focus on coaching and goal quality goes further in helping teams learn the method.
Can Dotwork and Perdoo be used together?+
They can, but they overlap on OKRs. Teams that run OKRs inside Dotwork often retire a standalone OKR tool. Others keep Perdoo for team goals and check-ins and use Dotwork for strategy, funding and cost.
