How Alignd actually works in practice.

Three to six people per side is the sweet spot: the delivery lead, the sponsor, and the people closest to the work. It takes two minutes and the same six questions go to both sides.

At setup, both sides record what's in scope and the phase plan. Each week, AI reads the pulse answers and the six signals against that record — not against a document it parses on its own — and flags when the pattern looks like scope creeping past the contract, or a phase slipping against the roadmap. It writes that up in plain language alongside the score; it doesn't replace the conversation both sides still need to have.

The week still closes and the score still moves, but it is marked as one-sided. Alignd's value is the gap between two views, so a one-sided week is flagged rather than presented as a shared score.

Expected — and designed for. Alongside the weekly pulse, the score is built from six signals — scope agreement, communication, hours vs. plan, ticket flow, change requests, approvals — that someone on each side keeps updated by hand between pulses. So a quiet week on the pulse doesn't leave the score stale; it just leans more on those signals until responses pick back up.

No. Answers are only ever shown in aggregate, per side. Neither side sees an individual person's responses.

No. The demo on this site runs entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored. The real product is different: it stores your engagement's data in an EU-hosted, encrypted database, described in full on our security page.

Data is stored in a managed EU-hosted database, encrypted in transit and at rest, with access scoped to the members of your engagement. Written data-processing terms are issued at pilot start — ask us for the current version.

No. Steering meetings, status reports, and delivery tooling stay exactly as they are. Alignd feeds them: it tells you what to put on Thursday's agenda before the meeting, not instead of it.

One engagement, both sides, four weeks: a short setup call, four weekly pulses, and a closing read-out with your own numbers. The pilot is free. After that it's €490 per engagement per month (Standard), or a volume-banded annual Portfolio license for firms running many engagements — see full pricing.

A named engagement, a contact on each side, three to six pulse participants per side, and someone on each side willing to spend a minute updating the six signals by hand each week — pulling the numbers from whatever timesheet or ticket tool you already use. There's no automated import yet, so this is manual entry, not a data feed.
