Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).

Managewise is innovative because it finishes a modular, team-first workflow core and links it to OPUS (id.catalyst://cardano/SrjKFxbCQH77mynk29yudxNu8oqJINSpFUtyyQYQO5I/3/0) for verifiable work.

Unlike prior tools, it works off-chain by default for speed and UX, with optional Cardano smart contracts to attest hours, approvals and milestones. This creates a portable, tamper-evident work record that feeds OPUS TrustScores. Open, composable APIs avoid vendor lock-in, and wallet login plus audit trails bring blockchain trust to everyday project and time management.

Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.

The Managewise MVP will show a working core for tasks, time tracking, shift scheduling, and approvals, with OPUS login, wallet connection, and optional Cardano testnet triggers for milestone or timesheet attestations. It will include audit trails, role permissions, and dashboards for teams and managers. Users can create projects, assign work, approve hours, and export records that OPUS can read for TrustScores. It will be accessible via the web app at managewise.app.

Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.

Success will be measured by active team adoption, with hundreds of signups and steady monthly growth. We aim for strong retention as teams use Managewise daily for tasks, scheduling, and timesheets. On-chain success will include hundreds of wallet connections via OPUS and a significant number of Cardano attestations for approved work, milestones, and hours. We will track how often these records feed into OPUS TrustScores, showing the value of verifiable workflows. High user satisfaction, low support needs, and reliable uptime will also indicate success.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Managewise finishes a modular core for tasks, time tracking, scheduling, and approvals so teams can run day-to-day operations in one place. Today, organisations juggle disconnected tools, which creates errors, delays, and poor visibility. Managewise resolves this with a unified workflow, clear roles, audit trails, and open APIs that connect with payroll, HR, and reporting tools, eliminating duplication and lock-in.

It integrates with OPUS to allow wallet-based login and export of verifiable work records that contribute to TrustScores. The system operates off-chain by default for speed and low cost, but when higher assurance is needed, it can trigger Cardano smart contracts to attest approved hours, milestones, or shift completions.

This architecture enables a seamless, gradual bridge to blockchain trust. These attestations are tamper-evident and portable across platforms, not only powering OPUS reputation but providing reusable proof of work for other Cardano applications needing trusted off-chain data.

In short, Managewise unifies fragmented workflows while offering optional blockchain verification to strengthen hiring, identity, and reputation across the Cardano ecosystem.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Managewise will bring real users and teams into the Cardano ecosystem by linking everyday work to optional wallet login and on-chain attestations.

It demonstrates a clear business use case for Cardano through verifiable timesheets, milestones and approvals that OPUS can read for TrustScores. We will publish open APIs, reference smart contracts and implementation guides so other builders can reuse the patterns. This will reduce duplication, grow developer knowledge, and create more jobs and collaborations around Cardano.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

We have a capable team across product, backend, mobile, and growth, with a working Managewise core and the OPUS proposal running in parallel. We follow a milestone-based plan, code reviews, and security-by-design practices. We will track progress in a public roadmap, share fortnightly updates, and report budget burn versus deliverables. Smart contracts will be peer reviewed and, if scope allows, independently audited.

Feasibility will be validated through staged pilots. We will run the workflow off chain first with 3 to 5 partner teams, measure activation, retention, and approval cycle times, then enable wallet login and testnet attestations for selected flows. We will A/B test UX changes, conduct usability sessions, and monitor reliability with telemetry and error budgets. When KPIs and error rates meet thresholds, we will move attestations to mainnet for production use.

All approved work records: timesheets, milestones, shift completions, are formatted to be read directly by OPUS’s TrustScore engine. This ensures that verified work completed in Managewise becomes portable reputation on OPUS, closing the loop between operations and hiring on Cardano.

[Milestones] Project Milestones

Milestone Title

Core Platform Completion

Milestone Outputs

This milestone delivers the complete core of the Managewise platform, enabling teams to manage their daily workflows in a single system. It includes the finalisation of the tasks module (creation, assignment, deadlines, and status tracking), time tracking (start/stop timers, manual entries, and approvals), scheduling (shift creation, assignment, and calendar view), and approvals (timesheets, shift changes, and project milestones). A reporting module will be added for managers to review productivity, attendance, and project progress. Role-based permissions will ensure different user types have the correct access, while audit trails will provide a transparent record of all key actions, laying the foundation for verifiable records that can be linked to OPUS.

Acceptance Criteria

All core features are implemented and functioning without critical bugs in the staging environment. QA testing confirms that tasks, time tracking, scheduling, approvals, reporting, role permissions, and audit trails work as intended across desktop and mobile devices.

Evidence of Completion

A feature-complete staging environment accessible for review, an accompanying demo video walking through each module, a detailed feature checklist confirming deliverables, and a QA report summarising test cases and results.

Milestone Title

OPUS & Blockchain Integration Layer

Milestone Outputs

This milestone will deliver the integration between Managewise and OPUS, enabling wallet login, OPUS account linking, and optional Cardano blockchain attestations for approved work records. Users will be able to sign in using a connected wallet and link their Managewise account to OPUS for seamless data sharing.

The system will generate optional attestations for approved timesheets, milestones, and shift completions on the Cardano testnet, with an export function that sends verifiable records directly to OPUS to contribute to TrustScores. API endpoints will be developed to enable other OPUS-compatible services to access this verified data. All blockchain interactions will be optional so teams can choose between off-chain speed and on-chain trust.

For example, when a timesheet is approved, the system will create a hashed summary of hours, approver signature, and timestamp. This data is written to a smart contract on the Cardano testnet, emitting an attestation event readable by OPUS. These attestations follow a standard schema that other dApps can reuse for verifiable work.

Acceptance Criteria

Wallet login and OPUS linking are functional and tested with multiple accounts. Cardano testnet attestations for timesheets and milestones are created successfully in at least 90 percent of test cases. API endpoints for data export to OPUS return valid responses and are documented.

Evidence of Completion
