Vest Biogass
A brownfield plant in Hornindal, taken from engineering into production. One person answered for scope, schedule, cost and risk. That was the job, and it was me.

I'm Saras. I make big industrial projects legible — ten years of schedules, cost and risk, the last four in Norway — thirty-odd moving projects turned into something a board can decide on rather than argue with.

I've held the controls at every one of these stages, not just the comfortable middle. Plenty of people meet me at the money decision and are surprised I'm still there when the plant is running.
The route
A tender desk in Lucknow to two biogas plants in Norway.

Two of these bars are shorter than the others. That is not a gap — it is part-time work running alongside a full-time degree, twice.

Malm Biogas
The greenfield twin. Nothing to inherit, so the cost and schedule case had to be built to survive being questioned by people seeing it for the first time.

Omega 365 migration
Moved the company off Omega PIMS and trained fifty-odd people in person and remotely — planning, resources, capacity, document control, asset management — so it stopped paying consultants to run its own system.

06Decision
Oslo vs Denmark
Engineering in Oslo and production in Denmark disagreed on when to execute. I interviewed both sides, wrote the comparison without picking a winner, and handed the executives the call.

After hours
I gave a team of AI agents a project manager.
1 / 9
Nine things I've built in my own time, run on the rules I'd use at work: milestones, a decision log, a risk register, and a human sign-off before anything ships. If I wouldn't let it run unsupervised on a project, it doesn't run unsupervised here.
01Product
Weaveplane
The main one. A project's method lives in a single place, so five tools read the same truth instead of each keeping a copy and quietly disagreeing.
Visit Weaveplane02System
Loom
An operating layer for agent work. The core is frozen; only the rules on top may change — the same discipline that keeps a control system trustworthy.
03Agent
Vev
Runs three AI models as one team and stops to ask me every time a real decision appears. It is allowed to work. It is not allowed to decide.
04Engine
Smia
The forge. Picks the design method that fits the problem rather than the one I happen to like. Backed by a library of 73 notes it keeps adding to.
05Shared
The trio
One playbook written once and plugged into three different AI tools, so all three work the same way instead of three ways.
06Idea
One layer of truth
The thing underneath all of it: stop retyping the same project data into five systems that each believe they are the master copy.
07Engine
P3M Engine
Turns confirmed project context into an explainable operating model instead of treating one methodology as universal.
08Robot
The tidier
A quiet daily job that stops everything drifting. It proposes fixes and waits. It has never been allowed to apply one on its own.
09System
Second Brain OS
Joins retrieval, memory and consent-gated agent execution so useful context compounds without granting silent authority.
The kit
What I reach for.
Highlighted means I owned it — set it up, migrated onto it, and taught the people who had to live with it afterwards. The rest I have simply used, which is a different and smaller claim.

My method
How I work, in six moves.
Understand
Audit what's actually there before proposing anything new.
Align
Owners and dates agreed in one place, in writing.
Organize
One structure for the work, visible to everyone on it.
Activate
Start small, prove the routine works, then scale it.
Support
Keep the reporting honest while the team does the work.
Improve
Fix the system, not the person, when something slips.
The person
The part a CV can't show.
Seven things — six I hold to, one I have to manage. Five were written down by people I've worked with, and their words are one section down. The other two I can only show.
Transparency
Numbers people can check beat numbers people must trust.
René Ortiz wrote it downStructure that serves
A plan should help a team decide, not just record what they did.
René again, same letterRespect
People contribute more when it is safe to disagree.
Jaime ArenillasAccountability
Say what happened, then show the repair in the work.
Inside René’s line, one panel downIntegrity
A decision has to be workable and defensible.
Henrik MørkGrowth
The best managers ask what you could become, not only what you can deliver.
The one I can only show, not quoteAnd one I manage
I say yes too readily. The fix: scope the help before absorbing the whole problem.
A flaw, with its correction attachedThe test for every sentence on this page: can a stranger check it?
Not my words
The receipts.
Every value on the last panel that I said someone else wrote down — here it is, in their words, with their name on it. Seven quotes from six people. René managed me, so he speaks twice.
Transparency
He advocates for transparency, measurable KPIs, and clear accountability structures.
Structure that serves
How planning can support leadership decision-making rather than merely track activity.
Respect
Generous and consistently considerate of his coworkers in day-to-day interactions.
Reliability
His professionalism, reliability, and analytical mindset makes him a valuable asset.
Curiosity
A keen eye for improvements and is always looking for better ways to do things.
Lifts the team
He's sharp, hard working and dependable. A fantastic team player.
Integrity
Honest and hard working man. Very grateful to be working with you!
Let's talk
Looking for the next one.
Permanent or contract, client side or consultancy. I care how a project is run, not only whether it lands: the plans are meant to be checked, the numbers are meant to be questioned, and the people who use the system are meant to be trained on it rather than handed it.
