At scale, the work-around-the-work problem doesn't go away. It compounds. Every executive has a calendar that looks like Tetris. Every team has a coordination tax. Every department spends meaningful hours on the operational layer that connects the people doing the actual work.
The companies that scale well are the ones that engineer this away. Not the ones that try harder.
The cost of operational drag at scale
We worked with leaders at companies running between 50 and 5,000 people. The pattern was the same. Executives spent 30-40% of their week on coordination. Department heads were de facto chiefs of staff. Calendars got designed by whoever invited first.
The math at scale is brutal. A leadership team of ten, each spending fifteen hours a week on coordination, is fifteen hundred hours a year of executive time spent on logistics. Multiply by your effective hourly rate. That's the line item nobody puts on the budget.
What Orchid handles
Orchid deploys across your team as an executive assistant layer. Each person gets their own Orchid, learning their voice, their preferences, their priorities. Scheduling, inbox triage, meeting prep, follow-ups, all handled with the controls your team expects.
Volume pricing, dedicated success management, and integrations built around your stack make it work at scale. Custom rollout shaped to how your team works.
What that looks like in practice
- An EA for everyone. Each team member gets their own Orchid, in their voice.
- Coordination, automated. Cross-team scheduling, executive briefings, status threads handled.
- Dedicated support. A named success manager and white-glove onboarding.
- Volume pricing. Per-seat economics that scale with your team.
- Custom integrations. Built around the tools you already run on.
Where Orchid sits
In Gmail and Calendar today, with more integrations on the way. SMS interaction means it works for executives on planes and account managers on Slack. No new dashboard to roll out. No new habit to teach.
If your executive team is the constraint on the work, Orchid takes the operational layer off their plates.
