Make the complex simple with clear, trackable action.
Structured frameworks, visual progress, and a permanent audit trail — all in one place. Key Dials brings clarity to the work that matters most.
What is Key Dials?
Key Dials is a structured action and assessment platform, visualised as a dial. It breaks complex responsibilities into clear sections and trackable action points — so nothing gets missed.
Teams record evidence, discussion, and decisions directly against each action point. Every change is captured in a permanent, immutable audit trail.
It works for any structured framework — governance, compliance, onboarding, operations, estate planning, and more. The same clear model, applied to whatever matters most.
How it works
Four straightforward steps from setup to full visibility.
Create a Dial
Define a framework with sections and action points that map to your responsibilities.
Track Progress
Each action point has a colour-coded status showing progress, risk, or completion at a glance.
Collaborate
Teams add responses, upload evidence, and follow guidance — all within context.
Audit Trail
Every action is recorded permanently. Nothing is lost. Nothing is deleted.
One platform, many applications
Key Dials is industry-agnostic. The same structured model applies wherever complex responsibilities need managing.

About us
A simple idea that fits any industry
Key Dials started with one belief: when a responsibility is complex, the answer isn't more paperwork — it's a clearer picture. Lay everything out where you can see it, track each step, and keep a permanent record of what was done and why.
Founder David Triggs — a public speaker, former headmaster, and former CEO of an educational trust — spent his career leading complex organisations, and built Key Dials on what that taught him: people do their best work when they can see the whole picture and exactly where they fit in it.
That's why Key Dials was designed to be flexible from the start. It isn't tied to one industry or one way of working — any framework with sections and action points can become a dial, from compliance to onboarding to governance. Whatever the field, the goal stays the same: making the complex simple.
