preemptive intelligence
for teams that perform, and last.
We read the early signals in your workforce, grounded in science, so you can act while there is still time.
the whole idea, in one conversation.
silent strain
The unseen cost of a team performing below its best, whether from stress, burnout or other pressures. It is felt in the results long before it is spoken.
what it is
a gap between potential and performance
Capable people, quietly running below capacity, with no single moment to point to.
why it stays hidden
it looks like business as usual
Good people compensate, so the strain stays out of view until it reaches the numbers.
what we do
we give it a voice
We read the signals early, in the context of each workplace, so there is time to act with care.
By the time it shows up as absence, turnover, sick leave or disengagement, the capacity is already gone. Canary reads the slope, team by team.
the Canary Score: it's fun to optimise your health.
Your personal health check, carried by a canary that sings when you are doing well. Finish a small step, watch your score rise, and keep your canary chirpy. Only you ever see it.
Try it: tap the canary, tick off a step in today's flight plan, or open what is shaping the score.
how the Canary Score works
We listen for the quiet signals in your workforce, and turn them into foresight, so you can act early and with care.
Canary measures each team's Sustainable Capacity Index from anonymised signals. Try the model: change the hours and the focus time, and watch the team's capacity move.

learn
An evidence base of which interventions work.
