Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Capeable vs Airfocus.

How does Capeable compare to Airfocus's modular approach?

Airfocus uses a modular "apps" model. Capeable is an integrated platform where strategy, prioritization, scheduling, competitive intelligence, and AI work together as a unified system. Insights flow between capabilities automatically.

Is Capeable's AI really deeper than Airfocus's?

Yes, structurally. Airfocus's AI operates on text. Capeable's MCP integration gives Claude access to structured data: your backlog items, velocity metrics, strategic objective hierarchies, and competitive intelligence records.

Can I migrate from Airfocus to Capeable?

Capeable connects to your existing Jira, Linear, or Asana instance for work item sync. Most teams find the migration takes days, not weeks.

What prioritization frameworks does Capeable support vs Airfocus?

Airfocus supports custom scoring and Priority Poker. Capeable implements WSJF, SAFe, SVPG, and Pragmatic Institute as optimization algorithms that calculate cross-framework trade-offs automatically.
