You've intrigued me, I leafed through your websites to see what you're up to :)

I think there is an interesting and useful case for detecting things like burnout, I like the example you cited.

I think some employers would love that, to know what's really happening at the ground level of operations, in a digestible way.

There's a huge disconnect between the C suite and pretty much everyone else. Closing that gap is always helpful.

But I think it puts employees at an extremely severe disadvantage, and they will rightfully hate it: These signals generate another mark that can be used against them. That's a pretty serious concern you'd have to resolve. If you have an employee that is burning out every time you make a decision, it's tempting for some people to fire the outlier, you know?
