Why Parafoil
Your organization's best data is in its meetings
The work of leading happens in conversation, thousands of times a week. It's the richest record of how your organization actually works, and until now nobody could read it. Parafoil does.
Where decisions get made
Who decides, who's consulted, and which decisions keep coming back.
Where priorities get tested
Which teams act on the strategy, and which only talk about it.
Where trust gets built
How leaders listen, coach and hand over ownership, week after week.
Your survey tells you how people felt last quarter
It's a vital read, and it arrives late. Parafoil sits alongside it and adds more sensors: a weekly read on how the work actually happens.
What you see
Know what you should be paying attention to
Parafoil tells you, before anyone has to ask, where there's risk and where there's momentum. Every answer names a team, says what changed and suggests the next step.

Ask Parafoil · your organization
Compare Engineering and Sales on decision-making since the reorg.
Engineering is delegating more, and Sales is reopening decisions
Since 6 Oct, Engineering moved toward Delegate and Consult. Decisions are made in the meeting more often, and fewer come back a second time.
Sales moved the other way: more decisions reopened, and Command rose as the most common mode in 1:1s.
Based on meetings analyzed across 25–49 managers, this quarter.
Ask Parafoil · your organization
Which manager in Sales is struggling?
I can only report where at least five managers have contributed, so I can't break this down that far.
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.
Everything else is within its usual range. This describes conditions in team meetings, not anyone's performance.
Where it works
Answers are always about teams. Questions about individuals are politely refused.
Measurement for your organization
Measured against how your organization leads
Parafoil measures what matters to you: your principles, your structure, your moments of change. Every read is specific to your organization.
Your leadership framework
Your leadership principles and company values become the yardstick, reported team by team.
Your structure
Teams, levels and functions come from your HR system, so every view matches how you're organized.
Your rules
Your organization decides what's analyzed, who is told and how it rolls out.
Your baseline
Every team is measured against its own history, so you see real movement and a busy week doesn't read as a trend.
Your moments
Measure what changed after a reorg, a launch or a leadership program, against the rest of the organization.
Your principle
“Decide with data”

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
The way people speak tracks certainty, confidence and who holds the floor. Parafoil reads those signals, the way cognitive science taught us to.
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.
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.
Minutes after the meeting
A short, private read on how they led and one thing to try next time.
Where they already work
In Slack, in Claude and before their next 1:1. Nothing new to learn.
Progress they can see
Week by week, managers see how their leading is changing, and so does the organization, across teams.
1:1 with your report · just now
Only youYour Coaching style showed up strongly in this meeting.
When your report raised the vendor delay, you asked what options they had already weighed before offering yours, and they left with a plan they had shaped.
Try next time: agree on a date for the follow-up before the meeting ends.

Draft Talking PointsIn 12-week pilots: 80% of managers changed how they lead, and the data agreed.
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.
Nothing joins the call
Parafoil works quietly alongside the meetings you already run, and no bot joins the call.

Critical acclaim
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
It flagged one of my team was stressed before I saw it myself. That heads-up helped me handle the convo way better.
Bob, Customer Experience Lead
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.
Sarah, ex-Big Tech PM
