WhoIsIt

So no one has to chase.

Automatically determine and resolve ownership of recurring work — without manual follow-ups or things falling through the cracks.

Recurring ownership shouldn't require constant follow-up.

Recurring responsibilities don't fail because people don't care.
They fail because there's no system to handle them cleanly.

Teams need a better way to resolve ownership — without awkward conversations.

WhoIsIt makes ownership procedural, not personal.

WhoIsIt is a neutral system that asks one simple question:

"Who is responsible for this period?"

It handles confirmations, swaps, reminders, and escalation automatically — reducing manual follow-ups and preserving everyone's bandwidth.

No manual follow-ups.

The system handles reminders automatically.

No awkward conversations.

Surface constraints easily — ownership is still resolved.

No ambiguity.

Ownership is always resolved, even when plans change.

How it works

1

Define a recurring responsibility

Set the cadence, people or teams, and escalation rules.

Monthly release notes Quarterly fact sheets Weekly reporting On-call rotations Compliance checks
2

WhoIsIt asks for confirmation

Each period, one person is asked to confirm ownership. They can:

Accept
Request a swap
× Decline

No essays. No awkward explanations.

3

Silence is handled automatically

If no one responds:

  • Reminders are sent
  • Ownership is reassigned
  • Escalation happens predictably

No manager intervention required.

4

Completion triggers workflows

When the responsibility is completed, WhoIsIt emits an event. Trigger:

n8n workflows Notifications Audits Downstream systems

Ownership becomes infrastructure.

Built for recurring, human-owned work
