Why teams switch from Linear to Route5
Meetings → accountability
Linear is where product work gets tracked. Route5 is where meeting commitments get captured and enforced — before they become Linear issues.
No manual ticket creation
After every sync, someone still has to create Linear issues. Route5 extracts commitments from speech and starts enforcement immediately.
Slack-native enforcement
Route5 sends Slack DMs and escalations natively — not as a bolt-on integration. Owners act from Slack without opening another tool.

The accountability layer Linear doesn't have
Route5 is built for one purpose: making sure meeting decisions get done. No project management overhead, no manual status updates — just automated follow-through via Slack from the moment the meeting ends.
