A different way of working

Ordinary businesses and collective organizations don't work the same way.

Conventional management tools encode the rules of the first model. Cascade is built for the second.

Ordinary business

  • A management team that decides
  • A single pricing model, imposed on everyone
  • Governance closed to stakeholders
  • Profitability as the end goal

Collective organization

  • Governance shared among members
  • A model chosen collectively — fixed, pooled, or adaptive
  • Rules decided collectively, upfront
  • Resource pooling as the end goal
Who Cascade is for

Any organization that operates outside the framework of the ordinary business.

Associations, cooperatives, informal collectives, unions, shared spaces… if you manage resources collectively, Cascade is made for you.

What Cascade supports

The levers specific to collective organizations.

Cascade doesn't replicate conventional management logic — it provides the tools for what makes collective organizations distinctive.

Resource pooling

Share resources and costs among multiple members, without having to recalculate everything by hand.

Adaptive contribution

Automatically adjust everyone's share to a collective target, rather than a fixed price built for profit.

Plural contribution

Recognize time, skills, or materials on equal footing with money.

Redistribution

Regulate surpluses and deficits collectively, cycle after cycle, instead of letting them pile up.

Governance

Bring collective decisions to life within the software's own rules.

Transparency

Give every member a clear, up-to-date view of resources and contributions.
