Methodology — five stages, twenty-eight signals

How TeamWeaver works.

From connection to insight in five steps. No workflow changes, no performance overhead, no message content stored.

The Pipeline

  1. 01

    Connect

    Link your existing communication tools with a single OAuth click. No agent installation, no workflow changes.

    • Slack — channel messages and workspace metadata
    • Microsoft Teams — messages and meeting data via Graph API
    • GitHub — pull requests, code reviews, and repository activity
    • Google Calendar — meeting frequency, duration, attendance patterns
  2. 02

    Analyze

    Twenty-eight behavioral signals are extracted through a four-tier AI pipeline, from simple math to narrative classification. The cheapest tier that can answer a question always does.

    • Tier 1 (math) — participation balance, network centrality, response latency, meeting load
    • Tier 2 (embeddings) — cognitive diversity, topic drift, semantic similarity
    • Tier 3 (classification) — question types, trust language, AI-content detection, goal framing
    • Tier 4 (narrative) — human-readable insights with structured recommendations
  3. 03

    Detect

    Twenty-two research-backed pattern detectors combine signals into recognizable dysfunction archetypes — the ones visible long before the symptom is.

    • Communication bottlenecks (hub-and-spoke patterns)
    • Silent burnout (declining participation with corroborating signals)
    • AI adoption risks (automation complacency, trust miscalibration)
    • Cognitive diversity decline and responsibility diffusion

    Act

    Every pattern arrives with a prioritized recommendation calibrated to your team's current coordination level — and the research that explains why it matters.

    • Recommendations ranked by effort, timeframe, and expected impact
    • Context explaining why each pattern matters, in plain language
    • Benchmarks showing what healthy teams look like
    • Basil AI coaching for personalized guidance (Pro and Enterprise)
  5. 05

    Repeat

    Scheduled analysis tracks your team's trajectory over time. What is improving, what is drifting, and what the signal said before anyone said anything.

    • Automated daily or weekly analysis runs
    • Trend comparison between analysis periods
    • Email briefings, Slack/Teams notifications, webhook alerts
    • Executive reports for stakeholder conversations

Why you can trust what it says

Nothing here is a guess.

Every pattern TeamWeaver surfaces has been measured by researchers studying real teams — not modeled, not inferred, measured. That how a team distributes its participation predicts its health more reliably than how much it communicates. That when a regular voice goes quiet, the silence often arrives weeks before the burnout report does. That cognitive diversity, not headcount, is what distinguishes the teams that solve hard problems.

When TeamWeaver surfaces a pattern, it is because the research says that pattern matters.
