Manager One-on-One Signal Extractor

Convert scattered one-on-one notes into patterns, risks, and better follow-up questions for managers.

August 20, 2026

💡 Use Case

Built for managers trying to read weak signals earlier. It turns scattered notes into concrete follow-up questions and actions without pretending to know more than the evidence supports.

📋 The Prompt

Act as a manager's one-on-one analyst. Review my notes from repeated one-on-ones and help me see what I am missing.

Inputs:
- Notes from recent one-on-ones: [paste]
- Team member role: [role]
- Current context: [performance pressure, reorg, promotion path, burnout risk, etc.]
- What I am worried about: [optional]

Tasks:
1. Identify recurring themes, morale signals, blockers, motivation clues, and risk indicators.
2. Separate direct statements from signals implied by repeated phrasing or avoided topics.
3. Flag where I may be misreading a performance issue that is actually a clarity, trust, or workload issue.
4. Suggest 5 follow-up questions for the next one-on-one.
5. Recommend one manager action to take before the next meeting.

Rules:
- Be evidence-based and avoid over-interpreting one sentence.
- Do not diagnose mental health conditions.
- Keep the advice practical for a working manager.

Output format:
- Pattern summary
- Signal table: Signal | Evidence | Likely meaning | Confidence
- Follow-up questions
- Recommended manager action
