Team Syzygy

Turn anonymous team input into a manager-ready action report

Team Syzygy shows where team norms, personal preferences, and clarity are out of alignment — and what conversation to have next.

What it is

A self-contained team alignment diagnostic

Your team answers a short, anonymous survey. Team Syzygy turns those answers into a clear report you can act on — no facilitation, workshop, or training required.

1. The team responds

Team members complete a short survey privately. Individual answers stay anonymous and are only ever shown as aggregated patterns.

2. We surface the gaps

We compare team norms, personal preferences, and clarity to find where expectations quietly diverge.

3. You get an action report

You receive a manager-ready report that names the focus area and the specific conversation to have next.

What the report looks like

Your team answers questions like this across 12 dimensions. Each captures three signals — Personal Preference, Perceived Team Norm, and Explicitness / Clarity. The report then names where those signals diverge, and what conversation to have next.

Example survey dimension · Q9

Balanced Workload vs Uneven Distribution

How workload is expected to be distributed across the team.

Operating spectrum

1 — Work should be distributed evenly across team members.

7 — Work should be allocated based on capacity and output, even if some individuals carry more.

Primary focus area · Q9 · Drift

Workload fairness needs a shared definition

Balanced Workload vs Uneven Distribution. The current norm appears to lean toward uneven workload distribution, while personal preferences lean toward balanced workload. Because consensus is split, the average may mask different experiences or different preferred versions of fairness.

  • Norm Leans toward uneven workload distribution
  • Preference Leans toward balanced workload distribution
  • Clarity Moderate — the team has discussed this, but not fully agreed

Suggested conversation

  • “What definition of fair workload would help us make clearer allocation decisions when equal distribution is not possible?”
  • “If work is uneven by design, what should be made visible and recognised so the unevenness does not feel accidental?”

Every focus area comes with prompts like this — so you know what to do next, not just what the data says.

Dimensions are mapped to four quadrants:

  • Team Syzygy: Clear, shared, and intentional alignment.
  • Implicit Alignment: We agree, but it is not explicitly defined.
  • Conscious Misalignment: The system is clear, but does not match individual preferences.
  • Drift: People are moving in different directions without openly addressing it.

Anonymity & data

Safe for your team to be honest

People only share candidly when they feel safe. Team Syzygy is built so they can.

  • Anonymous and aggregated

    Team input is anonymous and only ever reported as aggregated patterns — never as individual answers.

  • Patterns, not blame

    The report surfaces where expectations diverge across the team. It points at patterns, not people.

  • Not a performance review

    This is a team alignment diagnostic. It is not used to rate, rank, or appraise anyone.

  • Not surveillance

    We don't monitor employees. We ask a short set of questions once and report on the team as a whole.

  • Better conversations

    The point is to help managers choose the right conversation to have next — not to hand out judgements.

For partners

Work with managers or teams?

Team Syzygy has two early partner paths. Register interest below and we'll discuss the appropriate route.

Referral partners

Introduce managers, HR leads, founders, or companies to Team Syzygy. We manage the diagnostic, data handling, and report output — you don't need access to report data or outputs, and a referral fee may apply where agreed.

Integrated partners

Use Team Syzygy reports inside your own paid consulting, coaching, advisory, or leadership-development work. This is a paid partner use (with controlled access to relevant outputs/data where needed), rather than a referral-fee arrangement.
