Frenem Pulse · Relational Diagnostics

See how your people actually work together.

Engagement surveys measure how people feel. Pulse measures how they work together: the friction, energy, and hidden connections between the people doing the work.

Four lenses. One diagnostic.

01

Self

How individuals see their own behaviour, habits, and self-regulation at work.

02

Subject

How colleagues actually experience working with a person: the mirror held up to self-perception.

03

System

The conditions people work inside: workload, autonomy, clarity, and whether it feels safe to speak up.

04 · The differentiator

Dyad

The energy or friction inside specific working relationships. The lens that makes the invisible network visible.

The signals standard tools can't see.

01

Exit risk, visible early

Strain, silence, and isolation rarely appear alone. Pulse cross-references them to flag likely departures while there is still time to act.

02

Hidden brokers, surfaced

The people quietly holding your network together, trusted across teams, absent from every succession plan. Pulse names the single points of failure.

03

The manager effect, isolated

When a team struggles, Pulse separates the workload from the manager. So you fix the actual problem, not the visible one.

04

Cross-functional friction, mapped

Where collaboration between departments creates energy, and where it drains it. Silos stop being a feeling and become a map.

05

Five minutes per person

Fifteen questions, tailored by who each person actually works with. One secure link, answered on a phone. No login, no survey fatigue.

Ingest. Route. Protect. Deliver.

A standard pilot runs four weeks, boundary to reports. Your part: one file from HR, and a few minutes from each person.

Phase 01Week 1

Ingest

One export from your HR system: reporting lines, teams, tenure. Plus a short intake on what's changing in the business.

Phase 02Week 2

Route & Collect

Every person inside the boundary receives a secure link. Each pulse is tailored to who they actually work with.

Phase 03Week 3

Protect & Process

The engine calculates gaps, thresholds, and confidence, and withholds anything that could identify an individual.

Phase 04Week 4

Deliver

Three report cuts land: private coaching guides, a systemic view for leadership, and the relational network map.

Three cuts. Three audiences.

01
For every employee

The Individual Report

A confidential coaching guide: where self-perception and colleagues' experience align, the one blind spot that matters most, and a single habit to practise next. Developmental, never evaluation.

02
For leadership

The Org Pulse Report

A systemic, top-down read: heatmaps of strain, trust, and culture by department and layer. The top risks, their trajectory if unaddressed, and one intervention you actually control.

03
For HR & people analytics

The Relational Network Map

The map itself: structural silos, hidden brokers, bottleneck managers, and an isolation watchlist. Leading indicators of attrition, visible weeks before a notice period.

Safe to answer honestly.

No surveillance

Pulse never reads email, calendars, or chat. Every data point is a question someone chose to answer.

Thresholds, enforced

Team and relationship data stays hidden unless enough people respond. Below the threshold, it is not shown to anyone.

Reports stay in their lane

Individual reports go to the individual alone. Leadership sees systems and patterns, never names.

See your organisation as it really works.

One link, one short pulse, three report cuts. Friction, energy, and risk, visible while you can still act on them.
