This Is What You See Before Every 1:1
Signals, talking points, activity, risk — generated from 9 live data sources. Not a blank doc. Not a template. Real intelligence.
Active signal detected
Standup responses have been shorter and less detailed over the past 5 days. Engagement score dropped from 8.2 to 5.1.
Try asking: "I noticed your updates have been a bit shorter this week — totally fine if things are just steady, but wanted to check in. Anything on your mind?"

Why Engineering Managers Need More Than a Shared Agenda
You manage 6 engineers. You have 6 minutes to prep. Before most one-on-one meetings, managers scramble — skim Slack, glance at Jira, try to remember what was discussed last time. The result? Generic questions that get generic answers.
Without prep
- "How are things going?"
- "Any blockers?"
- "How are your goals?"
- Miss the burnout signal entirely
With Vereda prep brief
- "I noticed your standup mentions have been shorter this week — everything okay?"
- "Your PR on the auth service has been open 4 days — need a review?"
- "The migration goal is at 60% with 2 weeks left — are we on track?"
The difference is data. Vereda aggregates everything happening with each engineer — from async standups to burnout detection signals — and distills it into a 30-second prep brief.
9 Data Sources. One Prep Brief.
Every brief is generated in real-time. Here's what feeds into it:
Slack Standups

AI prep briefs are the differentiator. But Vereda also covers all the 1:1 basics — done right.
Shared & Private Notes
Collaborative notes visible to both parties, plus private notes only you can see.
Discussion Topics

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Fellow, Lattice, or 15Five?
Those tools give you a shared agenda — a blank canvas you fill in yourself. Vereda generates an AI prep brief from live data: standups, PRs, risk scores, signals, goals. You see what's actually happening, not what someone remembered to mention.
Where does the prep brief data come from?
Prep briefs pull from 9+ data sources in parallel: async standups, GitHub/Jira activity, goal progress, action items, previous check-in sentiment, AI risk analysis, engineer signals, and your private manager notes. All data stays within your organization.
What are 'signals' in the prep brief?
Signals are AI-detected patterns like sentiment drops, disengagement, velocity changes, or burnout risk. Each signal comes with a severity level and a suggested conversation starter — so you know how to bring it up naturally.
Can engineers see my private notes?
No. Private notes are visible only to you. Use them for sensitive observations, coaching notes, or things you want to remember but not share.
Do I need Slack standups to use 1:1 prep?
Standups make the prep brief richer, but it works without them. The brief still pulls from goals, action items, check-in history, and any connected integrations (GitHub, Jira, Linear).
Is the AI prep brief included in the free tier?
Basic 1:1 check-ins (shared notes, topics, history) are available on all plans. AI-powered prep briefs with signals, risk scores, and activity data are part of the paid tier at $15/seat/month.
Can I use this with Claude Code (MCP)?
Yes. The same prep brief is available as an MCP tool in Claude Code. Type 'prep for my 1:1 with [name]' and get the full brief directly in your terminal or IDE.
