This is a preview of the decision-framing logic used inside ANCHOR. It is not the full platform, licence, or diagnostic. Use it to see how vague workplace situations become clearer, more consistent, and easier to review.
This signal is based on the risk flags returned for this decision. ANCHOR does not manufacture a score.
Before you act, make sure you've seen what might be invisible.
Enter your work email to receive your receipt — and a prompt when your next decision point arrives.
Your email delivers your receipt and one follow-up. Nothing else. Unsubscribe any time.
The decision, context and unresolved signals would sit in one connected record — ready for the appropriate reviewer before the situation hardens.

Is there anything we should take into account before we confirm this?
e.g. "I've already had that conversation" or "We explored adjustments last week."
Add what you've decided. This completes your Decision Receipt and gives you a timestamped record.
The free tool gives one manager structured challenge. The organisational platform examines consequential decisions made by managers, People teams and senior leaders.
Share this with the person responsible for People, Employee Relations or decision governance.
Decision Mapping examines one live decision in depth over seven days. A 10-week Pilot then tests how decisions are framed, challenged, reviewed and resolved across a defined organisational cohort.
Use the tool on a real decision first — then share the signal with the person responsible for People, Employee Relations or decision governance.
The free tool creates clarity for one manager and one moment. The organisational platform is broader: authorised managers, People professionals and senior leaders can structure decisions, receive challenge and follow the appropriate review route.
Most difficult workplace decisions do not begin with bad intent. They begin with incomplete context, inconsistent questions or a formal step taken before the conditions around the decision were fully understood.
Describe what is happening and ANCHOR structures the decision, surfaces what may be invisible, identifies whether further or specialist review may be needed and creates a Decision Receipt you can retain or share.
The free tool is designed for one manager and one decision. Decisions are stored securely to generate the receipt and, where you provide an email address, deliver it to you.
Performance and capability
Separate output concerns from barriers, support needs and unstable working conditions before formal action takes over.
Absence and return to work
Clarify capacity, expectations and support before treating a return as proof of full readiness.
Adjustments and support needs
Distinguish general support from an actual exploration of the barriers affecting this person’s work.
Conduct, conflict and progression
Create a clearer record of what was observed, what remains uncertain and who needs visibility before action.
One receipt improves one decision. A licensed workspace reveals where the same gap is appearing across managers, which signals remain open and where People-team intervention is repeatedly arriving too late.
See the organisational licence and implementation route →UK employment tribunal records consistently show the same pattern: managers who made decisions that looked reasonable in isolation, without the question that would have changed the outcome.
In Merchant v BT, a performance process ran its course without anyone asking whether the role design was creating a barrier for a dyslexic employee. The tribunal found for the claimant. Not because the manager was negligent. Because the framework they were working inside didn't prompt the question that would have changed what they were looking at.
Merchant v BT — Employment TribunalThe question that wasn't asked is always cheaper to ask than the outcome it prevents.
Performance management done well is not about following a process. It is about asking the right question before the process takes over. This tool is built for that moment — the thirty seconds before you decide, before you send the email, before you have the conversation.
Yes. Completely free. No sign-up, no credit card, no trial period. You can use it up to three times per week.
The free tool is intentionally manager-facing: one decision, one receipt and one moment of structured challenge before action. It does not create organisational pattern visibility or route decisions across multiple roles.
The wider ANCHOR platform is broader than the free tool. Decision Mapping (£1,000 / 7 days) examines one live organisational decision in depth. The 10-Week Pilot (£5,000) tests ANCHOR across a defined cohort of managers, People professionals and leaders, including role-based review routes and a final evidence pack. The Annual Licence (£12,000–£36,000) embeds ongoing Decision Receipts, review routes and organisational pattern intelligence.
Why no one asks the right question before a performance conversation — and what Merchant v BT tells us about the gap in every performance process.
