AI is making skills table stakes. What matters now is how people work together.
A behavioral platform for building teams that actually work. We're offering free partnerships to a small group of early adopters.
Free during pilot · no commitment
You put people in a group. By week three, one person carries everything, roles are unclear, and resentment builds. Not because people are lazy — because nobody had the information to build a team that works.
AI is giving every team member access to the same capabilities. When anyone can code, write, and analyze, what separates great teams from bad ones is no longer what people know. It's how they work together.
We make that visible.

How It Works
Your people spend 10 minutes answering questions about how they actually work. Not what's on their resume — how they communicate, what drains them, and what they need from the people around them.
For the first time, you can see who balances who — where working styles complement, where they clash, and why certain people will coordinate naturally while others won't. Every recommendation shows its reasoning.
No more first-week chaos figuring out who does what. Every person walks in knowing their role, how their teammates operate, and what the group expects from each other. You adjust anything before it's final.
You see when collaboration patterns drift, when someone's carrying too much, or when roles are blurring — early enough to step in before it becomes a crisis. Not a post-mortem. A dashboard.
Setup takes less than 15 minutes. Assessments take 10. Pulse checks take 2.
What's Inside
Two features live today. Two more on the way.
Pulse checks and coordination signals surface continuously. See which teams have found their rhythm, which ones are drifting, and where roles need reclarification — early enough to intervene.
A candidate takes the same assessment. See how they'd complement your existing team — where they fill a gap, where they overlap, and what the dynamic would look like with them in it.

"For the first time, I could see what each student would bring to a group before they started. The proposals made sense — and I could actually explain to students why they were placed together."

Professor, CSULB · Pilot Partner
"I usually dread the first two weeks of group projects — you're just waiting for the conflicts. This time, people hit the ground running. The clarity at the start changed the whole dynamic."

Where This Comes From
The Research
15 behavioral roles identified through structured analysis of team performance patterns. The assessment framework draws from role theory, coordination science, and behavioral profiling — validated across 500+ project teams in education and industry settings.
The Practice
Over a decade of building and leading cross-functional teams — in classrooms, companies, and high-stakes project environments. Every algorithm and recommendation in SQUAD traces back to patterns observed in real team dynamics, not theoretical models alone.
The Partnership
Dedicated kickoff call
We learn your context and configure the platform together. No self-service setup.
Custom team analysis
We don't just hand you data. We walk you through what it means and what to do with it.
Direct research team access
Questions about methodology, edge cases, or interpreting results — you talk to the people who built it.
Rollout support
We help you introduce the assessment to your people and handle any questions during the process.
Ongoing check-ins
Regular touchpoints throughout the engagement. We flag what we're seeing and help you act on it early.
Shape what comes next
Your feedback directly influences the product roadmap. Pilot partners aren't users — they're collaborators.

Common Questions
Less than 15 minutes. You create a cohort, customize any settings, and share a link. Your people complete the assessment on their own time — it takes about 10 minutes per person. No IT integration required.
Each pilot covers one course or team — anywhere from 10 to 120 people. The platform handles the group sizing and distribution automatically. If you need to cover more, we'll talk about it.
Yes. Every proposal is a recommendation, not a final assignment. You can move people between teams, merge groups, or override any suggestion. The platform shows you how changes affect overall team balance in real time.
Individual responses stay private. You see team-level patterns and role compositions — never raw individual scores. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is never shared with third parties. You can request full deletion at any time.
Nothing. The pilot is free with no commitment. We're looking for partners who'll give us honest feedback and help shape the platform. In return, you get full access and direct support from our research team.
No. The platform is fully web-based — nothing to install, no LMS or HRIS integration required. You share a link, your people take the assessment in a browser, and you see results in your dashboard. Works alongside whatever tools you already use.
Tell us about your team or course. We'll handle the rest.
