Team health
Spot early signs of overload and attrition risk
Exit interviews explain what already happened. Parafoil tells you proactively which teams are showing early signs of strain, weeks before it becomes a resignation.
The question you get asked
“Which team are we about to lose?”
- By the time it shows up in the survey, people have already left.
- Pulse surveys get quieter the more often you run them.
- A call from HR to a manager can feel like an accusation.
What Parafoil shows you
Early signs, team by team
Each team is measured against its own recent history. When its meetings move outside that range, Parafoil names the team, says what changed, and suggests a proportionate next step.
Health & RiskLast 3 weeks
2 teams show early signs of overload: Platform Engineering and Sales.
1:1s down 31% and unclear direction in 34% of meetings over three weeks.
Next step: Check 1:1 cadence with the department lead
After-hours meeting load among the organization's highest for four weeks.
Next step: Agree meeting hours and buffers with the department lead
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.
Illustrative, from a demo workspace.
Measured against each team's own normal
No league tables. A team is flagged when it departs from its own baseline, which is also why a flag is worth reading.
What to rule out first
Every flag comes with the ordinary explanations to check, such as a launch, quarter-end or new joiners, so the first call is an informed one.
Told every Monday
Up to five teams a week, in Slack and email. Mark a flag Expected and it stays quiet for four weeks.

The science
Measured against expert human judgment
Parafoil's measures are calibrated against expert human judgment and grounded in decades of published behavioral science. It's why the answers hold up in the room.
Privacy by design
Answers about teams, never about a person
Every leader keeps their own feedback private, and the organization sees teams. That's why people lead naturally, and why the data is worth trusting.
Questions
What people ask us
Does it judge people's wellbeing?
No. It describes conditions in a team's meetings, such as 1:1 cadence, after-hours load and unclear direction. It never infers anyone's feelings or makes a judgment about a person.
Is it a prediction?
It flags early signs and says so. Levels are worked out in code from each team's own history, and the wording never claims a cause.
Who sees it?
The leaders your organization chooses. Answers are always about teams, never individuals.
