Red-Flag Detection · Business & Enterprise
Find the fire while it is still a spark.
Bren reads every update, ticket and thread for challenges, blockers, slipping work and overloaded owners — then tells the right manager, with a suggested intervention and the evidence.
The problem
Problems are discovered, not predicted.
The signals were there: an owner's calendar said "OOO", a ticket had not moved in nine days, three people mentioned the same dependency in their updates. Nobody was reading across all of it, so the slip was announced in the Thursday meeting — a week after it became inevitable.
How Bren does it
Read everything. Flag what matters. Suggest the move.
Signals across six streams
Stalled tickets, missed updates, repeated blockers, owners on leave, dependencies slipping, KRs off pace, sentiment shifts in updates — correlated across chat, tickets, calendars, docs, meetings and code.
Typed, prioritised, explained
Each flag is classified (blocker, capacity, dependency, pace, attention), given a severity, and explained with the sources behind it. No black boxes.
Routed to the right person
Team-level flags go to the responsible manager; org-level flags to leadership. Flags appear in the daily digest, the Monday Morning Brief and, for high severity, immediately in Slack or Teams.
A suggested intervention
"Reassign the review to Mei", "cut scope on launch 4", "ask Legal for a date". Accept, edit or dismiss; Bren learns what your org considers worth flagging.

FAQ
Red-Flag Detection: the details
Does this flag individual people as underperforming?
No. Flags are about work — tickets, projects, dependencies, capacity — not about people. Bren produces no productivity scores or rankings.
How noisy is it?
Severity thresholds are configurable per team. Dismissing a flag with a reason tunes future detection. Most teams see two to five flags a week.
Can flags go to a channel?
Yes — route by team, severity or type to Slack or Teams channels, in addition to the responsible manager.
Which plans include Red-Flag Detection?
Business and Enterprise.
