Measured communication performance in English
Knowing the answer is not the same as being heard.
In international meetings, important ideas can be lost when the question changes. SignalCheck shows where that happens. SignalResponse builds development from the results, for one person or a whole team.

SignalCheck for individuals
If unexpected questions, interruptions or larger meetings make you sound less clear than you are, start here.
See the individual experienceThe operational cost
Nobody calls it a communication problem
The expertise exists. In certain moments, the answer becomes longer, less direct or harder to defend. The business sees three other things.
In the design review
An engineer does not push back on a decision
The concern was real, and it surfaces later than it should. Escalation slows. Key context arrives after the decision has closed.
In the monthly all hands
The question is not the one they prepared for
The same people who are sharp one to one can freeze in front of a hundred. Senior people sound less certain than they are. Expertise gets overlooked in the rooms where it matters most.
In private, afterwards
Your strongest people may never tell you
When something goes wrong in English, many high performers assume the problem is their English. It may not be. They work around it quietly, and the development budget goes to the wrong problem.
What you receive
Two outputs, and a line between them.
The organisation receives the Team Signal Map
One combined pattern for the group, with names and individual scores removed.
The person receives their private report
Five scored dimensions, written interpretation and what to work on first. A trained reviewer checks it before delivery.
The organisation receives the map, not the individual reports behind it.
After the measurement
A report is the starting point. SignalResponse is what happens next.
Most development decides what to teach before it meets the people. SignalResponse decides afterwards, from the diagnostic, and ends by measuring again.
It begins with a measured result
The starting point is a SignalCheck report, not a course outline. Development
cannot begin until there is evidence to build it from.
It works on the situations, not a syllabus
Explaining complex work, responding without preparation, challenging a
decision, recovering after interruption, adjusting mid-answer, making a position
clear.
It ends where it started
A second SignalCheck, using different situations at the same difficulty, on
the same five dimensions and the same bands.
For a team or organisation
SignalResponse Teams
A quarterly development cycle for teams that work across regions. It combines human-led team sessions, private AI practice, targeted 1:1 support, manager and meeting work, and a second SignalCheck.

SignalResponse 1:1
Eight hours of private 1:1 development built from your SignalCheck report. The work focuses on your measured patterns and the situations that matter in your role.
See how SignalResponse worksA strong English level does not guarantee strong communication under pressure. SignalCheck measures performance patterns that language tests and general training can miss.
Not Business EnglishNot a language course
Not employee surveillance
A communication-performance system
Measured communication performance for global technical teams. Built for technical and specialist teams that work across regions in English, and for the people in them.
The first language question
Asked in every SignalCheck
We ask whether the same pattern appears in the person’s first language. The answer helps distinguish a wider communication habit from a pattern that mainly appears under pressure in English. It is one part of the assessment; SignalCheck does not diagnose language level.
One method, two routes
Measure first. Then develop what the results show.
The same logic runs through everything SignalCheck does, for a whole organisation or for one person.

Data and confidentiality
Who sees what
This is why people agree to be measured at all.
The individual
- Private report
- Full personal score
- Private development
The organisation
- Team-level pattern
- No individual scores
- Agreed team evidence
No individual score goes to a manager. Not on request, not in the debrief, not ever.
The four commitments: each person owns their score. A leader receives the map, not a ranking. Everyone is told what is collected before they join. A trained reviewer reads every report. Full rules: data and confidentiality.
Who is behind SignalCheck
SignalCheck was built by Michael Gunn after sixteen years working one to one with professionals across APAC. The method came from watching excellent people lose decisions in English that they would have won in their first language. Every diagnostic is delivered live, by a person.
Where do you want to start?
Two routes, one method. Pick the one that describes your situation.
For a team or organisation
Thirty minutes on your team: what the sessions involve, what each person receives, and how the results turn into development. Bring a real situation and we will show you how the method works on it. If it is not the right fit, we will say so.
