Your best people know the answer. The room doesn’t always hear it.
SignalCheck measures how your team performs in English when the pressure is real, and shows you where it is costing you. Then an 8-week programme works on the shared gaps. A second SignalCheck shows what moved.

Sample. Not a real person. Every SignalCheck is scored on the
same five dimensions, on the same 100 point scale, and every report is reviewed by a
SignalCheck expert.
Colour follows the band, the same five zones on every report.
Colour follows the band, the same five zones on every report.
Schools teach. Coaches advise. SignalCheck measures and scores.
Most people who struggle in English meetings do not have an English problem. They have a performance problem that only shows up in English. That is measurable.
For engineering, product, sales, and the leaders above them. Anyone whose job puts them in a difficult conversation in English.
“This one is not about English at all. It’s more about being able to present things much more clearly.”

The operational cost
Nobody calls it a communication problem
Working in a second language takes extra effort that first-language speakers in the same room never spend. When the pressure rises, that effort is not enough. The business does not see a communication problem. It sees three other things.
In the design review
An engineer does not push back on a decision
The customer finds the missing part after installation. A complaint arrives, the delivery is delayed, and payment is held for two months.
In the monthly all hands
The question is not the one they prepared for
The same people who are sharp one to one freeze in front of a hundred. That is the version of your team the rest of the business sees.
In private, afterwards
Your strongest people will never tell you
When something goes wrong in English, almost every high performer thinks the same thing: it is my English. It usually is not. So the problem stays hidden.
The same five dimensions apply wherever the pressure is in English. A design review, a customer call, a roadmap defence, a board update.
The system
Measure, respond, retest
Measurement alone changes nothing. The loop is what moves a team.
1
Measure
One defined team takes the SignalCheck, each person privately, scheduled around their work, not ours.
2
Respond
SignalResponse works on the shared gaps the map shows, rather than everything for everyone.
3
Retest
A repeat SignalCheck after 8 to 12 weeks shows what moved and what remains.
8 to 12 weeks later, the loop returns to 1
The first engagement is one team, with a clear scope and no company-wide commitment.
A sample signal map
One map of the group
The signal map. What you receive.
Every person is measured on the same five dimensions, so the individual reports combine into one map of the group. This sample shows a mixed team of ten: six engineers, two product managers, two account leads.

Group average, coloured by its zone
Spread, lowest to highest
This group holds in three dimensions and drops in the same two under pressure. One shared gap, not ten separate problems, so development targets only the gap.
Sample data. Not a real team. A live map is built from your own team.
Built with a cross-regional engineering group in Taiwan and senior professionals at global technology companies.
What you receive
Two different things, on purpose
One defined team. A private report for each person. A team map with published rules on who sees what. Every report reviewed by a person.
Each person receives a private scored report
Across the five dimensions, on the same 100 point scale, with plain notes on what happened under pressure. The report is theirs. It is not shared with their manager.
See the sample reportThe leader receives the team pattern map and a debrief
Where the patterns sit across the group, and a working session on what to act on first. The reporting rules on who sees what are published rather than promised.
Read the reporting rulesData and confidentiality
Your team’s information, handled properly
This is the reason people agree to be measured at all, so we say it plainly.
01
Each person owns their score
The report belongs to the person who was assessed. They receive it in full.
02
You receive the map, not the ranking
The leader receives the team pattern map. It shows where the patterns sit across the group.
03
No individual scores go to a manager
Not on request, not in the debrief, not ever. That is what makes people agree to be measured honestly.
04
Everyone is told before they join
Every participant knows what is collected and who sees it before the session starts.
The full reporting rules are on the data and confidentiality page.

Start with one team, not a company programme.
A short conversation first, so we can tell you whether a SignalCheck is the right fit. If it is not, we will say so.
A first engagement is one team, from $2,500.
