Your voice, protected by design.

1. Who commissioned Signal, and why

Signal is commissioned and governed by the investor — the private equity firm that owns your organization. It exists to give that investor an earlier, validated read on organizational conditions: where execution is getting clearer or harder, and where coordination is improving or coming under strain. It is a monitoring instrument for the health of the organization, not a channel for judging the people inside it.

2. What you are asked

Participation is a brief, structured, recurring check-in — roughly 60 to 120 seconds. Each check-in asks for:

• A directional read — whether execution feels clearer or less clear, forecast confidence is rising or falling, decisions are moving faster or slower, and cross-functional coordination is improving or deteriorating.
• An optional structured observation of what changed since the last check-in.
• Optional, concise supporting detail — only if you choose to add it.

The fastest way to understand what participation feels like is to try it. Try a sample check-in →Nothing you enter in the sample is recorded.

3. What Signal does not collect

Signal evaluates organizational patterns, not individual employee performance. It does not monitor, ingest, or measure any of the following:

• Your name or email address — Wexler Gray never receives them.
• Your email, messages, or Slack.
• Your calls, calendar, browser, or devices.
• Your individual productivity, output, or activity.
• Any measure of your personal performance.

4. Wexler Gray does not know who you are

This is worth stating plainly, because it is the part people assume is marketing language. It is not. Wexler Gray holds no name and no email address for any participant. You have no account and no password. In our systems you are an organizational function — “Finance”, “Operations” — and a short code such as FIN-3B7K. We store nothing that names you, so there is no participant identity in our records to disclose.

Someone runs the program — usually at the PE firm, sometimes with HR — and distributes the single-use links, so that person necessarily knows who was invited. What protects you is that the invitation is where their knowledge stops: the platform never records your identity against your submission, the input they read back is de-identified to function labels only, and the suppression floors below make sure no single voice can be isolated from a function’s aggregate.

5. How aggregation works

Nothing surfaces from a single voice. A theme becomes visible only when it meets three thresholds together: recurrence across time, corroboration across different functions, and persistence. A one-off comment does not move anything. This is deliberate — it protects individuals from being identifiable through their input, and it protects the organization from acting on noise.

Detail for a function is also withheld until enough people within it have taken part, and smaller functions are combined so nothing can be worked out by elimination. Your employer can make those thresholds stricter. They cannot make them weaker — that floor is set by Wexler Gray, not by the firm paying for the program.

6. Who may receive validated findings

Visibility into validated themes is agreed with the commissioning PE firm at the start of the program — who may see what, and under what conditions. Individual submissions are never shown to the portfolio company or to other participants. The investor works from de-identified, function-labelled input and the validated patterns built from it — not from anything that names a contributor.

7. Signal does not rate individual performance

To be unambiguous: Signal does not rate, rank, score, or evaluate individual employees. It has no mechanism to do so, and no output that reflects on any one person. It reads the condition of the organization, in aggregate, over time.

8. Retention, prohibited uses, and non-retaliation

Submissions are retained only as long as needed to identify and validate organizational patterns, and are held in aggregated form. They are used for one purpose only: to surface recurring organizational conditions to the investor under the agreed protocol.

Submissions are never repurposed to identify individuals, and are never used as a basis for retaliation of any kind. Retaliation against a participant for their contribution runs directly counter to the terms of the engagement. If you ever feel that participation has exposed you to consequences, raise it through your organization's dedicated HR channel.

9. What Signal is not for

Signal reads organizational conditions. It is not a channel for urgent personal, legal, safety, or HR matters, and it is not an emergency channel. Because submissions are aggregated and de-identified by design, Signal cannot respond to an individual situation, and no one is watching it in real time. For anything urgent or personal — misconduct, a safety concern, a legal issue, or a matter that needs a direct response — please use your organization's dedicated HR, legal, or whistleblower channels. Signal is not a substitute for them.
