Who this is for
The head of people who must tell the board what's happening before the board asks
- — high performers
- — the hotspot unit
- — leavers vs stayers
Client-insight readout · DS-7+1 · assembled by the engine
The Quiet Exodus
Every headline number says calm; underneath, the people you can least afford to lose are leaving — and not for the reason everyone assumes.
Illustrative — the chart is a designed canonical scene (the platonic form a confirmed story presents as), not a specific client’s data. With real data, the engine selects the matching scene and toggles the client’s reality against it.
02
The decision on the table
Are we losing the people we can't afford to lose — and why, really?
03
What we believed walking in
The creeping fear that the best people know something the dashboard doesn't — and that the board will ask before we have an answer.
04
What the data shows
The trend is confirmed past the certainty cutoff, localized to an address, and the usual suspect is cleared by the data.
05
What it means for you
People who give their best shouldn't become visible only when they resign.
06
The move
A scoped retention intervention with an owner, a target, and a date — or an explicit decision not to act, on the record.
- — See the alarm and its address (the confirmed cards)
- — Clear or convict the usual suspects (comp, manager, load)
- — Fund a scoped intervention against the computed prize
07
Act / don't act
If ignored: Do nothing and the curve steepens: each leaver loads the rest, the next resignation letter is from someone you'd counter-offer on the spot, and the story becomes 'why didn't we see this.' — If acted: The trend bends back under the benchmark and you own the chart that shows it bending.
08
The honest close
What next? What else?
- — manager-level drill inside the hotspot
- — stay-interview instrument on the at-risk cohort
- — one more quarter against the corrective target
