The gap

Every other tool asks how employees feel. SignalFirst reads what's actually happening.

The product

7 signals. One weekly move.

Signal 01
Decision Velocity

How fast the team moves from question to committed answer — the earliest indicator of stalled ownership.

Signal 02
Response Latency

Time between a request and a real reply. Rising latency is the first symptom of a checked-out contributor.

Signal 03
Conflict Surface Rate

How often friction is named vs buried. Silence isn't peace — it's the sound before people leave.

Signal 04
Participation Balance

Who's actually contributing vs who's gone quiet. Withdrawal precedes resignation by weeks.

Signal 05
Feedback Tone

Directional read on whether feedback is generative or corrosive. Tone shifts before scores do.

Signal 06
Team Clarity

Whether the team can articulate what they're working on and why. Clarity collapse predicts churn.

Signal 07
Retention Signal

Composite read pointing at who is most likely to walk in the next 60 days — before they polish the résumé.
