We observe patterns, not people
SignalTrue detects hidden team strain from work-pattern metadata before it becomes visible as burnout, attrition, manager overload, or execution drag. No content. No individuals. No surveillance.
We observe patterns, not people
Connect Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, or Slack. We ingest collaboration and calendar metadata only — never message content, never email bodies, never individual tracking.
- One-click OAuth integration
- Metadata only, no content access
- GDPR-friendly by design
We establish a team baseline
SignalTrue learns your team's sustainable operating patterns over 2-4 weeks. Every team's baseline is unique — no generic industry benchmarks.
- Team-level aggregation only
- Minimum group sizes enforced
- Statistical baseline bands computed per metric
We detect drift
When patterns shift from baseline in risky directions — meetings expand, recovery shrinks, coordination costs rise, focus gets fragmented — we surface it.
- 7 signal families: Meeting Load, Recovery Erosion, Coordination Strain, Focus Integrity, Team Rhythm, Manager Capacity, Execution Drag
- Severity levels: Stable → Emerging → Elevated → Critical
- Persistence-based alerts, not single-spike noise
We interpret risk
Every signal comes with an explanation of what it means, why it triggered, what the likely implications are, and what to do about it. No black-box scoring.
- Explainable signal logic
- Contributing factors identified
- Likely implications spelled out
We support intervention
Leaders get targeted, context-specific recommendations. Log interventions, assign owners, set review dates, and track which signals you're working on.
- Targeted actions, not generic advice
- Intervention tracking with ownership
- Before/after measurement built in
We measure improvement
After action is taken, SignalTrue tracks whether the signals actually improved. This closes the loop and proves the value of acting early.
- Pre/post intervention comparison
- Effectiveness tracking over time
- Proof-of-value for leadership investment
Seven signal families that detect strain early
These leading indicators change before people report feeling burned out in surveys.
✅ What we detect
- Meeting Load — meetings expand and crowd out productive work
- Recovery Erosion — after-hours activity, weekend work, and shrinking recovery windows
- Coordination Strain — collaboration overhead, reschedule frequency, cross-team dependency
- Focus Integrity — uninterrupted work blocks, fragmentation, back-to-back density
- Team Rhythm Stability — week-to-week volatility and pattern instability
- Manager Capacity Risk — manager overload, calendar fragmentation, and routing bottlenecks
- Execution Drag — hidden operating friction from combined signal pressure
🚫 What we never do
- We do not read message content
- We do not read email bodies
- We do not expose individuals in insight surfaces
- We do not monitor keystrokes, screens, or webcams
- We do not create covert employee surveillance scores
- We do not rank or score individual employees
- We do not monitor productivity
