Parafoil Alerts · Monday 8:00This week in Meridian: 2 teams worth a look

Platform Engineering · Intensity, three weeks running. After-hours meetings are about double this team's normal, across most managers in the team.

Rule out first: a release deadline or on-call rotation.

Next step: worth a conversation with the team lead this week.

Sales · Decisions, one week. Decisions came back up for discussion more often than usual, for about half the managers.

Rule out first: a pricing or territory change.

Measurement for your organization

Measured against the organization you're building

Your principles, your structure and your moments of change become the yardstick, so every read tells you how far you are from where you're taking the organization.

Your principles

Your leadership principles and values become the measure, reported team by team.

Your structure

Teams, levels and functions come from your HR system, so every view matches how you're organized.

Your moments

See what changed after a reorg, a launch or a leadership program, against the rest of the organization.

Your rules

Your organization decides what's analyzed, who is told and how it rolls out.

The science

Science you can't prompt your way to

Anyone can point a language model at a transcript. Parafoil brings cognitive and behavioral science to the conversation, calibrated by a panel of expert leaders, so its answers hold up in the boardroom.

Language that reveals how people think

Word choice tracks certainty, confidence and who holds the floor. Parafoil measures those signals in every conversation.

Grounded in behavioral science

Built on decades of peer-reviewed research into how people lead, decide and work together.

Calibrated by expert leaders

Parafoil's measures are calibrated against the judgment of experienced leaders, so it sees what a seasoned eye would see.

Measured against your own history

Each team is compared with its own normal, so real change stands out and a busy week doesn't.

Learn about our method

For every leader

Grow every leader in the moment

Most people are never trained to lead. Parafoil gives every manager private, specific guidance from their real meetings, measured against their own goals, with no extra work. The organization sees the change add up.

See it as a manager

In 12-week pilots: 80% of managers said they changed how they lead.

Built to roll out across enterprises like yours.

Privacy by design

Private for every leader, so the organization can trust what it sees

Each leader's feedback goes to that leader alone. The organization sees team patterns, never individuals. That's why people lead naturally, and why the data is honest.

Feedback that belongs to the leader

Every leader's feedback is theirs alone. It never becomes a score or a review, which is why people use it honestly.

Answers about teams

Your organization sees how teams are working, never what one person said or did.

Consent built in

Everyone in the meeting can be told and asked first, and no bot ever joins the call.

Your data, your rules

SOC 2 Type II, single sign-on with Okta and a Trust Center your security team will recognize.

In their words

What leaders are saying

My feedback was vague: delegate more. Parafoil turned it into specifics — the exact meetings where I was the bottleneck and could have handed the decision over.

Nas, Engineering Manager

Our survey tells me how people felt last quarter. Parafoil tells me how we're actually leading this week, team by team. It's the first thing I'd take into a board meeting.

Laura, Chief People Officer

Adding Parafoil to how I manage has probably been the most useful thing I've done for my own growth. It's like a mirror I actually trust.
