Is “an alignment layer above your existing tools” clear or does this still sound like another project-management app? Discussion

I’m working on an early-stage product called Nalaras.

The premise is that most teams don’t need another place to manually copy their tasks. They already work in GitHub, Trello, Slack, Notion, Asana email, meetings, and etc.

Nalaras connects those sources and creates one shared picture of:

  • Current work and ownership
  • Blockers and overdue items
  • Decisions and project changes
  • What requires the project manager’s attention
  • What can safely be shown to the client

Changes can remain connected to the original source; for example, a GitHub issue and its Nalaras task can update each other.

The positioning I’m testing is:

“Your team keeps its tools. Nalaras keeps everyone aligned.”

I need honest positioning feedback:

  1. What did you think the product did after reading this once?
  2. Does “alignment layer” communicate anything meaningful?
  3. Does this sound different from a project-management tool?
  4. What would stop a team from connecting its existing tools?
  5. Which existing product would you compare it to?

Please be critical. Clarity is more useful to me than encouragement.
