A diagnostic, not a lesson.
Most people who struggle in English meetings do not have an English problem. They have a performance problem that only shows up in English. A SignalCheck measures it in 45 minutes.
Taking a SignalCheck as an individual? Start here.
45 minutes. No test, nothing to revise.
A SignalCheck is a live conversation. It starts easy, then adds pressure on purpose. A senior stakeholder arrives. A deadline is questioned. A decision is challenged in front of other people. Those are the moments where performance actually breaks, so those are the moments that are measured.
In the room, the diagnosis is spoken plainly and in words anyone can act on. The scores are not read out. They belong in the written report, where they have been reviewed by a SignalCheck expert.
A SignalCheck runs 45 minutes in three parts, delivered by the instrument so that every person meets identical conditions. How delivery works is explained in full on the delivery page.
The first language question, read with everything else
Does this happen in your first language too?
The diagnostic tests whether the same pattern appears in your first language. That evidence separates a language gap from a pressure habit, and it is read together with the rest of the session. The pause, the long answer that never reaches the point, the sentence that starts with an apology. A habit under pressure can change. A language level takes much longer.
“No, speaking native language, I don’t have those feelings.”
Five dimensions of communication under pressure
The same five are scored in every session, using the same bands. General advice cannot do that. You leave a conversation with an impression, and an impression cannot be measured, repeated, or handed to anyone as a plan.
In the written report these five appear as Clarity, Structure, Confidence Markers, Translation Lag and Authenticity. Those are the report’s formal terms. Everywhere else, the plain names above are used, because the plain names are the ones a team can talk about.
Where SignalScan fits
A SignalScan scores two of these five: Translation Lag and Confidence Markers. These two score reliably from a 5-minute sample. The other three need more content to judge properly. That is why the free version stops at two, and why a full SignalCheck takes 45 minutes.
What the instrument does, and what it does not
The same scenarios, delivered the same way every time
The scenarios, their order, the timing and the review rules are fixed.
A person reviews every report before it is delivered
The reviewer checks the automated output against the session and can override it.
It reports observable patterns
It does not judge personality, technical ability or language level.
A written report, reviewed before it reaches you
Every SignalCheck ends with a written report. It names the strength, the gap, and the one change that will move the most, in plain language you can act on the same week. For a team engagement each person receives their own report, and the leader receives the signal map on top of it. The map shows patterns across the group. It never names an individual.
Colour follows the band, the same five zones on every report.

A short conversation first, so we can tell you whether a SignalCheck is the right fit. If it is not, we will say so.
