    SAMPLE EMAIL
    To: Tom Reyes · Tech Lead
    Illustrative example
    Next move (early access). Ask your team who could lead a 30-minute peer training on Thursday.
    Why this team
    Several people on the team are working through the same deployment steps on their own, and few questions reach the channel. A peer walkthrough turns separate workarounds into one shared path.
    A way to raise it
    “A few of us are working through the deployment flow on our own. Who would run a 30-minute walkthrough Thursday so we can share what is already working?”

    The problem

    The tools that track change cannot see capacity.

    AI has put every company into permanent transformation, and the pace is set by shareholders, not by the people absorbing it. Leaders track that change with plans, status meetings, and surveys. All of it tracks the work. None of it shows whether the people doing the work have room for more.

    So initiatives stack, and each one was approved on its own merits by a different sponsor. The strain stays invisible until it surfaces as a stalled rollout, a quiet resignation, or a survey that comes back months after the moment it mattered.

    SteadMark exists to close that distance. It reads the channels you connect and gives the change function a daily read on where the room is, while there is still time to act. Next moves in early access.

    Surveys report at the next cycle, while SteadMark reads the work as it happens. Leaders see team-level reads, message text is deleted once it is classified, and people make every decision.

    Grounded in behavioral science.

    What we believe

    Five values. One direction.

    These govern every feature, every email, and every model output. Read them in full on the Foundation page.

    1. 01

      Dignity is the product.

      Every feature is judged by whether it treats the person being described as a person.

    2. 02

      Say what the product does, and what it does not do.

      We name our data sources, methods, and limits in plain language to customers, to employees, and to ourselves.

    3. 03

      Earn the read before you give the prescription.

      A recommendation without evidence of understanding is a guess. We do not tell a manager what to say until we can show them what we noticed and why it matters.

    4. 04

      The customer is the change leader. The user is everyone in the org.

      We design for both. When their interests pull apart, we side with the people who did not buy the product, and we tell the buyer that is what we are doing.

    5. 05

      Default to small, daily, repairable actions.

      Big-bang change programs fail people. We ship in small pieces, measure how they land, and stay willing to roll back.

    Why SteadMark exists

    Built by someone who spent years reading rooms.

    Jim Sullivan spent four years as a paramedic preceptor, walking into rooms mid-crisis and acting on what he read there.

    Before that he studied the behavioral science underneath the read as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett’s lab at Northeastern and the Winkielman Affect and Cognition Lab at UCSD.

    SteadMark is that read, built for the people who lead change.

    Read at team level, and treated with dignity.

    SteadMark gives a team-level read in the app. Four commitments appear together every time.

    Aimed at the next conversation.

    Every output aims at the next conversation, never at evaluating the person.

    Helping someone re-engage.

    Recommendations frame as helping someone re-engage, never as fixing a resistor.

    The read-aloud test.

    Every output is written to hold up if read aloud to the person it describes. If it would embarrass them, it does not ship.

    No scores, no rankings.

    Managers never see anyone scored or ranked by personality or performance.
