This will be very nice once phase 2 is introduced, as it will reduce (for me anyway) the proliferation of Topics. I've been basically using Topics to express goals all of this time, and while it works, it isn't satisfactory because everything can only have one topic. It isn't possible to step back from CompanyX/ProjectY. You can only view ProjectY and there is no relationship to CompanyX---no way to see all of the sub-projects for CompanyX together and evaluate how much work for them your next year will look like, or whatever. It sounds like Goals will be able to replace the ProjectY part of that equation, so that I can keep Topics very general (CompanyX).
The interface for Ph1 is looking good!
One small thing that could be tweaked is that for me, when I first loaded the Goals Review page the top-level "Goals" item was not selected. That state makes it impossible to add new goals, and for a while I thought that page was essentially broken and all we could play with were levels. Once I clicked "Goals" the "Plus" icon lit up and I could proceed.
