Hear the real story,
not just a score.
Redacted replaces boring surveys with private, AI voice chats. It helps leaders find and fix problems at work before good people leave.
No login needed. No voice recordings kept. Totally private.
Your surveys are measuring
the wrong thing.
Survey scores only tell you how people feel on a given day. They don't explain why your best people stop talking or why teams struggle to work together. Regular surveys just show the mood, not the real problems underneath.
Problems hide until it's too late
Work problems don't announce themselves. They hide in slow choices, bad communication, and people who stop speaking up because nothing ever changes.
Scores don't tell the whole story
One month your score goes up, and the next, two great workers quit. A simple number can't predict deep problems. Real issues need real conversations to get fixed.
Most people ignore long surveys
People skip surveys if they are too long or if they don't feel safe answering honestly. Without good feedback, leaders can't fix things, and trust breaks down.
We protect the source.
You get the signal.
Anonymity on most platforms is a policy. On Redacted, it is a technical architecture: five independent controls that make individual identification structurally impossible for management. Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation the data is built on.
No Login Required
Employees join via a tokenized link. No account, no email, no employee ID. Nothing connects the session to an individual before it begins.
Ephemeral Audio
Employees speak freely in a 10–15 minute AI-led interview. Audio is transcribed in real time and permanently deleted. No recording is stored, transferred, or recoverable.
Transcript Redaction
Our NLP pipeline scans every transcript and automatically removes proper names, specific dates, project titles, and other identifiable markers before any data reaches the reporting layer.
Aggregation Threshold Lock
Team-level findings are locked until at least five employees in that department have participated. Groups below five receive no report, protecting individuals in small teams through system design, not policy.
From employee voice
to operational clarity.
Redacted surfaces friction across the four dimensions people and business leaders need visibility into: teams, managers, communication, structural and processes. The output is not another dashboard of numbers, it is a structured, evidence-backed diagnosis of where work is breaking down and what to do about it.
See where friction is concentrated
Heatmaps visualize friction intensity across departments, functions, and managers on a rolling basis. Compare teams, identify outlier functions, and track whether targeted interventions are reducing friction over time. If a team drops below five participants, that cell is automatically locked. No data is surfaced for groups too small to protect individual privacy.
Structured reports that go deeper than a score
Each report surfaces recurring friction patterns by category: communication breakdowns, workload distribution, manager behavior, process failures, and cross-functional delays, backed by aggregated, redacted employee language. Specific enough to bring to a leadership conversation. Not a score. A diagnosis.
Track intervention impact over time
The Action Center turns friction findings into recommended next steps: manager coaching prompts, process adjustments, and escalation paths. Log what your team implemented, then track whether friction in that area decreases in subsequent interview cycles. A closed loop from employee voice to measurable organizational change.
Your Questions,
Answered.
We've heard it all. Here's everything you need to know before working with us.
Redacted is an anonymous employee listening platform that uses AI-led voice interviews to help People and business leaders diagnose recurring workplace friction across teams, managers, communication, workload, and processes. Unlike employee engagement surveys that produce sentiment scores, Redacted delivers structured friction reports and recommended interventions. It is designed for C-suite executives, VP People, and business leaders at modern organizations.
Traditional employee surveys measure sentiment and produce scores. Redacted diagnoses friction: it surfaces specific, recurring operational problems across teams and managers, and recommends concrete interventions. It is not a better version of the employee survey. It is a different tool designed to answer the question surveys cannot: what is specifically breaking down, where, and what should be done about it.
Redacted uses five independent privacy controls: no-login participation via tokenized link, ephemeral audio deletion immediately after transcription, automated transcript redaction of personally identifiable information, threshold-based aggregation locks (reports unlock only when five or more employees in a department participate), and pattern-level reporting only. No individual verbatim is attributable, and no individual is identifiable in any output.
No. Employees participate in Redacted interviews through a tokenized link. No login, no email address, no employee ID, and no credentials are required. This design removes a key barrier to authentic participation and is central to Redacted's privacy architecture.
The Action Center is the intervention layer in the Redacted platform. When a friction pattern is identified across multiple interview cycles in a team, the Action Center recommends specific responses: manager coaching prompts, process adjustments, escalation paths, or communication frameworks. Business or team leads can log what action they took, and subsequent interview cycles are compared against the baseline to measure whether friction decreased.
No. Redacted does not track, score, or flag individual employees. It surfaces friction patterns at a population level across departments, teams, and functions, not at an individual level. Audio is permanently deleted post-transcription. Reports contain no individual verbatim that could identify a speaker. Redacted's output is organizational diagnosis, not employee monitoring.
Redacted is designed for modern organizations. It is most effective at companies experiencing growth-stage coordination challenges, post-reorg confusion, or recurring attrition in specific teams. In smaller organizations, friction is typically visible through direct management.
Redacted serves a different purpose than annual engagement measurement. Many teams run Redacted alongside their existing annual survey, using the annual survey for broad trend data and Redacted to diagnose specific operational problems the survey scores cannot explain. The two tools serve different questions and different timelines.
