For Leaders

Use Cases by Role

For CTOs: Portfolio-Level Visibility

You're managing 5-10 teams across multiple products. You need to know which teams are healthy vs. at risk, where to focus your 1:1s, and if org changes are working.

What You Get

  • Cross-team behavioral health dashboard
  • Comparative drift analysis (which teams diverging from baseline?)
  • Correlation mapping (did that reorg actually help or hurt?)
  • Executive summary for board reporting

Example: Your platform team's communication density dropped 40% after the Q4 reorg. Drift detected Week 2, intervention at Week 3 (added weekly cross-pod sync), health score recovered by Week 6.

For VPs of Engineering: Team Health at Scale

You're responsible for 30-80 engineers across multiple groups. You need to know if directors are seeing what you're seeing, which teams need support, and how to prevent burnout.

What You Get

  • Director-level rollup with drill-down capability
  • Early warning system for burnout risk
  • Concentration risk alerts (work too dependent on 1-2 people?)
  • Intervention tracking (did that thing we tried actually work?)

Example: Concentration risk alert: 60% of critical path work flows through 2 engineers on the payments team. Recommended action: Pair programming rotation to distribute knowledge.

For Engineering Directors: Daily Decision Support

You're in the weeds with 15-25 engineers. You need to know if the team is sustainable, who needs a check-in, and whether to push deadlines.

What You Get

  • Weekly rhythm analysis (is the team fragmented or focused?)
  • Individual-level flags (anonymized for privacy, specific for action)
  • Sprint health forecasting (can we actually hit this deadline without damage?)
  • Retrospective data (what behavioral patterns led to that outage?)

Example: Late-night commit activity up 300% in Week 3 of sprint. Cognitive load score: RED. Recommended action: Scope reduction conversation NOW, not at sprint retro.
