Parafoil

Private guidance on
how you lead

Most people are never trained to lead or to build influence, whether they manage a team or not. But the number one indicator of your success is what it's like to work with you. Parafoil learns from your real meetings, measures them against the leader you're trying to become, and shows you what to try next.

What you'll see

Private guidance after every meeting

After each meeting, Parafoil's behavioral engine shows you what went well, what to try differently and why it matters, grounded in what was actually said.

[Dana: “If we move the billing migration into Q4, we’re doing it during peak traffic.”] “Good flag. Let’s keep the date and figure it out as we go. Anything else?”

Try this next time

“Say more. What would you need to see to feel OK about that date?”

Why it matters

You thanked Dana and decided in the same sentence. She didn’t speak again for the last 19 minutes, and the risk she raised never made it into the next steps, which is why clarity came out Mixed. It’s the third roadmap review in a row where a concern was closed in one turn. Asking what she’d need keeps the date open to evidence, and keeps your engineers raising risks early.

Specific advice tied to what you actually said

Measured against the leader you want to be

Patterns across months of real meetings

In 12-week pilots: 80% of managers changed how they lead, and their meetings showed it.

The science

Science you can't prompt your way to

Anyone can paste a transcript into a chatbot. Parafoil brings cognitive and behavioral science to your meetings, calibrated by a panel of expert leaders, so the feedback is about you and it holds up.

Language that reveals how you think

Psycholinguistics shows that word choice tracks certainty, confidence and how much room you leave others. Parafoil measures those signals in every meeting you choose.

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 notices what a good mentor would notice.

Measured against your own history

You're compared with your own normal, so real change shows up and a busy week doesn't.

How it works

Fits around your week

Parafoil connects to your calendar and analyzes the meetings you choose. Nothing joins the call. Once someone has agreed, Parafoil can analyze your meetings with them automatically.
After each meeting you get a private debrief. Meetings with your manager, your peers and other teams count too.

Analyzes only the meetings you choose

No bot joins your calls

Feedback that only you see

Ask Parafoil

Or ask it directly

You don't have to wait for the next debrief or explain the situation. Ask between meetings, and it answers from your own conversations and what the behavioral engine has already found in them.

Your organization never sees your feedback, your transcripts or what you're working on. It's never a performance review.

What other leaders say

In their own words

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.
