A psychologist can't
decode every team at once.
So we engineered
one that can.

Organisations are making people decisions without people data.

Annual surveys are months old by the time they're read. And gut feeling is structurally unverifiable. Neither detects the withdrawal pattern that precedes a resignation — and both suffer from the same flaw: asking too much, too rarely, to get honest answers.

The most consequential failures in an organisation — burnout, attrition, disengagement — are structurally invisible to leadership until they have already occurred.

$8.9 Trillionin productivity lost to disengagement globally every year. In Europe alone,
87% of employees are not fully engaged.

The cost of not knowing.

Attrition & Burnout

Burnout has detectable early signatures. Without a continuous signal, the intervention window closes before leadership knows it opened.

Unevaluable Investment

Leadership programmes, restructurings, new team leads — without measurement continuity, no people investment can be evaluated.

Misattribution

Structural problems are routinely blamed on individuals. Without causal separation, the intervention lands at the wrong level.

Strategic Opacity

Capacity and resource decisions are made without knowing the psychological state of the units involved.

Psydar mobile survey session

Ten adaptive questions per employee per week.

No Repetition

Every question exists in multiple validated phrasings. The system tracks which version each employee last saw — the same question never repeats.

Built Around What's Unknown

Each session targets what the system knows least about for that employee. Stable topics are skipped unless something shifts.

Built for Honest Answers

Ten questions, never interrogative, never the same twice. Short enough for honesty — precise enough that every answer moves the estimate.

Answers are anonymous by default — no individual data is ever visible to management.

What makes it different.

Epistemic Depth

Each psychological dimension per employee is maintained as a live probability estimate — not a score. The system never asks a question it already knows the answer to.

Uncertainty Propagation

People answer ironically, under social pressure, or not quite honestly. The system accounts for this: uncertainty doesn't distort the signal. It becomes part of it, statistically weighted into every estimate.

Evidence Before Conclusion

No output is labelled until the evidence earns it. The system moves through defined confidence stages — from no data to stable — and never skips one.

The system
is live.
Field validation
underway.
System Status

Fully deployed. Measurement, inference, and interpretation run end-to-end — with deterministic fallbacks at every layer.

Validation

15,705 unique question variants — tested across 14 psychological topics, every possible way a person might respond, and every stage the system moves through. More edge cases covered than most instruments encounter in a decade of deployment.

Traction

Early interest spanning occupational psychology, organisational consulting, academic research, and investment.

The algorithms of recursive estimation
have guided navigation, priced markets,
and corrected the course of spacecraft.
Psydar™ is the first to apply them
to corporate psychology.
The system is running.
The question is who we measure first.

Why I built this.

I grew up inside teams, all failing the same way.

First in sport, then in organisations and institutions. The same patterns of mismanagement, the same burnout trajectories, the same wasted potential.

Felt by the people inside. Paid for by the organisation around them.

I'm not a psychologist. I see systems — where they leak, where they compound, where they break. Economics, psychology, engineering: for this problem, you need all three.

As AI absorbs repetitive work, the quality of human judgement and leadership becomes the scarcest asset a company holds.

Measuring it is no longer optional.

Built for organisations that
take their people seriously.
