Get Alerted Before It's a Crisis
When someone leaves or a project loses its last owner, you're notified immediately — with a clear handoff plan.
Everything You Need
From orphan detection to risk alerts — the complete toolkit for project ownership continuity.
Automatic Orphan Detection
Instantly see which projects lose their last active owner when someone leaves or changes roles. No manual tagging — Orkhest builds the map for you.
Slack & Teams Sync
Connect your Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace and Orkhest starts tracking who owns what. Activity data stays current without anyone lifting a finger.
Risk Alerts
Set thresholds per project and get notified on your dashboard and via email. Critical projects with a single owner? You'll know before it's a problem.
Duplicate & Overlap Detection
Fuzzy matching across data sources finds duplicate employee records and overlapping projects. Clean data means fewer blind spots.
Interactive Ownership Tree
Explore your full project-to-people graph in an interactive tree view. Spot single points of failure, ownership gaps, and risk clusters at a glance.
Health Score & Trends
Track maintainer coverage, single-owner risk, and ownership changes over time. Show leadership concrete proof that continuity is improving.

Real Scenarios, Real Risk
These situations happen at every growing engineering org. The question is whether you catch them in time.
The Silent Departure
Your lead architect gives two weeks' notice. They own 12 projects, 3 of which are revenue-critical. Without Orkhest, your team scrambles to figure out what they even owned.
With Orkhest: ownership is already mapped. You plan handovers on day one.
The Slow Discovery
A developer left three months ago. You just found out their microservice handles payment processing — and nobody else knows how it works.
With Orkhest: you were alerted the moment that project lost its last maintainer.
The Reorganization
After a team restructure, 40% of projects have unclear ownership. Nobody knows who's responsible for what anymore.
With Orkhest: ownership tracked continuously across Slack and Teams, always current.
The Knowledge Silo
Your most experienced engineer moves to a new role. Weeks later, critical bugs surface in their old projects and no one can navigate the codebase.
With Orkhest: single-owner projects were flagged as high risk before the move.
The Budget Surprise
Leadership discovers an orphaned project that's been costing $50K/month in cloud resources with no active maintainer reviewing the spend.
With Orkhest: orphaned projects surface on the risk dashboard before costs spiral.
The Compliance Audit
Auditors ask who owns your data pipelines. You can't answer because the original team moved on and documentation is outdated.
With Orkhest: real-time ownership map for every project, always audit-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how Orkhest works.
What is a 'project orphan'?
A project orphan is any codebase, service, or initiative that loses its primary owner — typically because someone left, changed roles, or was reorganized away. Without a clear handover, these projects stall, accumulate technical debt, or fail silently.
How long does setup take?
Under 5 minutes. Connect your Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace, import your employee and project data, and Orkhest starts building your ownership map immediately. No agents to install, no code to deploy.
How does Orkhest know when someone is leaving?
You mark employees as departing in the dashboard. Orkhest then calculates orphan risk for every project they own, flags single-owner projects, and surfaces the handover plan you need — all before their last day.
What happens when a risk is detected?
You get alerts on your dashboard and optionally via email. Each alert shows the affected project, its risk score, current owners, and suggested next steps so you can act immediately.
Does my team need training?
No. Orkhest runs in the background, syncing with tools your team already uses. Only admins interact with the dashboard — everyone else keeps working as usual.
How do I justify the cost to leadership?
The first time Orkhest catches an at-risk project you didn't know about, it pays for itself. The dashboard tracks maintainer coverage and ownership health over time, giving you concrete metrics to present.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Row-level security ensures teams only see their own data. We never access your source code or message contents — Orkhest only reads workspace membership and channel structure to build your ownership map.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts. You can downgrade to the free tier or cancel your Pro subscription at any time from the billing settings. Your data stays accessible on the free tier.
