This isn't just a product launch.
It's a research initiative.

For the first time, the science behind the world's best-performing teams is being applied as a continuous, daily measurement system. We're looking for 50 pioneering teams to prove it works.

We've been measuring teams wrong for decades

Every year, companies spend billions on engagement surveys. Long questionnaires sent quarterly, answered reluctantly, analyzed months later. By the time the results arrive, the team has already changed.

Meanwhile, the science has been clear for over 20 years: psychological safety is the single most important factor in team effectiveness. Google proved it studying 180+ teams. Harvard's Amy Edmondson proved it in hospitals, factories, and boardrooms.

But no one has built a system that measures these dynamics continuously — until now.

Built on peer-reviewed research, not opinions

Tribu's 5 radars aren't invented metrics. Each one is grounded in decades of published academic research.

Google, 2015

Project Aristotle

“Of the five key dynamics of effective teams, psychological safety was by far the most important.”

Two-year study of 180+ teams at Google. Published via re:Work.

Edmondson, 1999

Psychological Safety & Learning

“Psychological safety is a shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking.”

Published in Administrative Science Quarterly. The paper that defined the field.

Detert & Edmondson, 2011

The Silence Problem

“85% of employees reported having withheld important information from their managers.”

Published in the Academy of Management Journal. Why most teams don't know what's really happening.

Gallup & Workhuman, 2022

The Cost of Ignoring It

“$322 billion in global turnover and lost productivity due to employee burnout.”

Study of 12,000+ employees across 12 countries. This is the cost of not measuring.

Deloitte, 2015

The Burnout Epidemic

“77% of respondents say they have experienced employee burnout at their current job.”

Workplace Burnout Survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. professionals.

Edmondson, 2018

The Fearless Organization

“When people are afraid to speak up, organizations lose their most powerful learning mechanism.”

Published by Wiley. The definitive book on building psychological safety in teams.

Be part of something bigger

The Better Together Framework isn't just a product. It's a mission to make work better for everyone. Founding members are the people who believed first.

What if every team could see their blind spots?

We know that 77% of professionals experience burnout. We know that 85% withhold important information from their managers. We know that psychological safety is the #1 predictor of team performance.

The research is clear. What's been missing is a practical, continuous way to apply it.

Tribu is the Better Together Framework — five science-backed radars that give individuals and teams a real-time picture of their wellness. Not a survey. Not a mood tracker. A measurement system built on the same research that defined how the best teams in the world operate.

The first 50 teams to join will help us validate this approach across industries, team sizes, and cultures. Together, we'll build the evidence base that transforms how every organization thinks about team health.

The question isn't whether this science works. It's been proven. The question is whether we can make it accessible to every team, every day. That's what we're building. And that's why we need you.
