For portfolio PMOs

Your portfolio can finally say no.

No Free Yes is the decision layer for portfolio PMOs. Intake, priorities, capacity and the risks between projects, on a few honest pages. AI drafts. You decide.

The problem

  1. Every hallway yes is a silent withdrawal from capacity you already spent.
  2. Prioritization turns into theater when the pile was overspent before the meeting.
  3. Every project reports green while the risk sits between them.

The rule

AI drafts, humans decide.

No Free Yes uses AI to sort the pile, spot duplicates, chase missing details and draft your review. It never approves work, schedules work, ranks work or spends a slot. That stays with the person who owns the gate, on the record.

What you get

Six pages. Every decision on the record.

The parts of a portfolio practice that usually live in spreadsheets, side chats and memory.

  • Intake gate

    Every ask brings an outcome, an owner, a rough size, a dependency signal and what you stop if you say yes. Three outcomes only: accept to the scored queue, park with a revisit date, or decline. AI clusters duplicates and drafts the nudge for missing info.

  • Scored queue with a capacity line

    Score what made it through the gate. The line shows what fits this quarter, so every yes visibly spends a slot.

  • Decision log

    Every accept, park, decline and exception, with who decided and why. No more whispered side doors.

  • One-page dependency view

    Provider, consumer, date needed, owner, confidence. AI suggests the links between items. You confirm them.

  • Monthly review pack

    A draft agenda built from what changed: decisions due, parked items up for revisit, dependencies going red.

  • Works beside what you already use

    Keep your project tool. Bring your list in from a spreadsheet and run the portfolio decisions here.
