Early-Warning AI

Five focused early-warning AI models. One actionable inbox. Zero exit-interview surprises.

By the time HR hears "I just got an offer", the conversation is already over. Bynarize PMS ships five purpose-built early-warning models — Performance Drift, Burnout Risk, Promotion Readiness, Hidden Talent and Recognition Gap — each consent-gated, each evidence-grounded, each writing into a unified AIInsight inbox with severity, top contributing factors and a recommended next action. And each is wireable into the Automation Engine: notify the manager, schedule a 1:1, raise a task, kick off a saga — without a human ever opening a queue.

Real-world differentiator

Why most people analytics tools fail — and how Bynarize fixes it.

Most people-analytics tools are dashboards looking for a question. Bynarize ships five purpose-built early-warning models with consent gates, severity scoring, contributing factors, recommended actions and direct wiring into the Automation Engine — so insights become actions, not slide decks.

Eight scenarios you stop being surprised by

Catch it weeks early — or read about it in the exit interview.

"Top performer" resigns on Monday — turns out the score has been drifting for 3 months.

PerformanceDrift compares snapshot windows daily, classifies sudden vs sustained vs recovering drift, and writes a severity-scored AIInsight with the contributing pillars and recommended action.

Burnout discovered at the exit interview, not at week 6.

BurnoutRiskAssessment runs daily on consenting employees; pulls after-hours work, weekend signals, PTO-not-taken, meeting load and sentiment trend; produces a 0–100 risk score with contributing factors.

"Why didn't we promote them?" — because nobody noticed they were ready.

PromotionReadinessAssessment scores competency coverage + behavioural indicators + bench depth + tenure + recent impact; surfaces a ranked list of ready-now employees per role and per cycle.

Quiet brilliant people leave because the loud ones get the recognition.

HiddenTalentSignal uses collaboration-graph centrality + recognition history + skill embeddings + cross-team mentions to surface employees with high impact and low visibility.

Same employee not recognised in 6 months — manager never noticed the drought.

RecognitionGapAlert reads EmployeeRecognitionAnalytics and flags systematically under-recognised employees by severity with a recommended action and one-click "send kudos" prompt.

Insights pile up across 5 dashboards and nobody acts on any of them.

All five models write into ONE unified AIInsight inbox with Acknowledge / Dismiss / Snooze actions. Each insight can trigger an Automation Rule — notify manager, schedule 1:1, create task, raise saga.

AI watching employees feels creepy — and DPDP/GDPR teams block rollout.

Every model is gated by ConsentRecord (BurnoutMonitoring, SentimentAnalysis, AIProcessing). If consent is missing, the feature is hidden — not just disabled. Employees control their Privacy Center end-to-end.

"Where did this prediction come from?" — silence.

Every prediction ships with top contributing features (from FeatureLineage), confidence band, and links to underlying signals. AIPrediction + AIInteractionAudit make every model decision auditable per employee.

Inside this capability

Five focused models. One inbox. Direct wiring into action.

Performance Drift Detection

  • Daily comparison of recent snapshot windows (7d / 30d / 90d) vs baseline
  • Classifies drift as Sudden / Sustained / Recovering / Volatile
  • Severity scored: Critical / High / Medium / Low
  • Top contributing pillars + linked signals for explainability
  • Manager-facing card on /pms/manager/early-warning with recommended action
  • Wireable to Automation Rule: "Drift > High → schedule 1:1 within 7 days"

Burnout Risk Assessment (consent-gated)

  • Gated by ConsentRecord type BurnoutMonitoring — hidden if consent missing
  • Multi-signal: after-hours work %, weekend work %, PTO-not-taken, meeting load, sentiment trend
  • 0–100 risk score with contributing factor breakdown
  • Trend arrow vs prior assessment (rising / stable / falling)
  • Optional employee self-view on /pms/dashboard if opted-in
  • Manager team view aggregates risk per direct report (avatar + name + score)
  • Recommended action per severity (1:1 prompt / mandated PTO suggestion / workload review)

Promotion Readiness Assessment

  • Competency coverage vs target role (RoleSkillRequirement coverage ratio + mandatory check)
  • Behavioural indicators (Ownership, Collaboration, Resilience, Strategic Thinking)
  • Recent impact: Goals achieved, Moments captured, peer recognition received
  • Bench depth check — is the role even open or coming open?
  • Ranked list of ready-now / ready-12m / ready-24m candidates per role
  • Triggers AI-generated DevelopmentPlan for ready-12m / ready-24m candidates

Hidden Talent Signal — find the quiet brilliant ones

  • CollaborationEdge graph centrality (PageRank, betweenness)
  • Recognition received vs given vs cohort norm
  • Skill embedding similarity to high-performer profile per role
  • Cross-team mention frequency — "people from other teams talk about them"
  • Bridge-employee detection (connects communities — high org value)
  • Severity-scored signal with contributing factors and "what to do next" prompt

Recognition Gap Alert

  • Reads EmployeeRecognitionAnalytics rolling 30/90/YTD windows
  • Flags systematically under-recognised employees vs cohort norm
  • Severity: Critical (>90 days no recognition) / High (>60d) / Medium (>30d)
  • Recommended action with one-click "send kudos" prompt for the manager
  • Resolution captured (acknowledged / kudos sent / dismissed with reason)
  • Feeds ManagerQualityScore and bias detection — patterns of ignored cohorts surface

Unified AIInsight Inbox + Automation Engine wiring

  • One inbox per user (employee / manager / HR) — severity-sorted, snooze-able
  • Acknowledge / Dismiss / Snooze actions on every insight
  • Each insight can trigger an Automation Rule (notify, task, 1:1, webhook, saga)
  • Co-Pilot can answer questions about any insight ("why is this person flagged?")
  • Insight history per employee — defensible audit trail of every AI flag and action taken
  • Daily Workforce Alert Digest rolls up critical insights across all five models

Consent-Gated, Audited, Reversible — by design

  • Every model gated by per-employee ConsentRecord — no consent, no model run
  • Employee Privacy Center: toggle each consent type, see version + history, revoke any time
  • On revocation: Fn_Consent_RevocationHandler disables dependent features and triggers data masking
  • AIInteractionAudit row written for every model call (governance + DSAR readiness)
  • AIPrediction.Factors exposes top contributing features per prediction
  • FeatureLineage explains where each feature came from (source → transform → feature)
Why this is enterprise-defensible

AI that managers act on — and legal signs off on.

1
Six weeks earlier than the exit interview

Drift, burnout and disengagement signals are detected weeks before the LinkedIn update — turning regretted attrition into a manager conversation, not a goodbye email.

2
Consent-gated by design

Every model checks ConsentRecord before running. No consent = feature hidden. Employees control their Privacy Center end-to-end. DPDP and GDPR teams sign off on day one.

3
Severity-scored, action-linked

Every insight has Critical / High / Medium / Low + recommended next action + a one-click path to act. No more "interesting chart, what now?".

4
One inbox, five models, zero context-switching

All five models write to the unified AIInsight inbox. Managers see everything in one place — drift, burnout, promotion-ready, hidden talent, recognition gap.

5
Wireable to Automation Rules

Tenant-defined "if X then Y": "BurnoutRiskScore > 0.8 → notify manager + create 1:1 + raise HR task". From signal to action without a human opening a queue.

6
Defensible per employee, per prediction

AIPrediction.Factors + FeatureLineage + AIInteractionAudit make every model decision explainable to the employee, the manager, HR, legal and the auditor.

Frequently asked

Early-Warning AI — questions buyers actually ask.

Performance Drift typically surfaces 4–8 weeks before resignation in pilots. BurnoutRiskAssessment is a daily score so trends are visible within 2–3 weeks of pattern emergence. Both depend on the quality and recency of signals (HRMS attendance/leave, calendar, Teams, Jira, GitHub) — the richer the signal stream, the earlier the warning.

Three protections. (1) ConsentRecord — the BurnoutMonitoring consent must be granted by the employee; if missing, the feature is hidden, not just disabled. (2) Aggregated signals — we never expose individual emails or calendar invite content; the model reads aggregated metrics like after-hours-work-%, PTO-not-taken-days, meeting-load-hours-per-week. (3) Privacy Center — employees see what AI sees about them and can revoke consent any time, which triggers Fn_Consent_RevocationHandler to mask dependent data.

It compares snapshot windows: the latest 7-day pillar Snapshot vs the rolling 30-day baseline, and the 30-day vs 90-day, per pillar (Goal, Productivity, Collaboration, Quality, etc.). It classifies the drift as Sudden (sharp recent change), Sustained (gradual over weeks), Recovering (recently improving) or Volatile (high variance). Severity is scored using the magnitude × duration × pillar weight.

Four inputs: (1) CollaborationEdge graph centrality (PageRank + betweenness) — high impact across teams; (2) skill embedding similarity to the high-performer profile for the employee's role family; (3) cross-team mention frequency from Teams/Slack/feedback — "people from other teams talk about them"; (4) bridge-employee detection (connects communities — disproportionate org value). Each contributes to a severity-scored HiddenTalentSignal with a "what to do next" prompt.

Every model writes into the unified AIInsight inbox, and every insight can trigger an Automation Rule. Example rule: "BurnoutRiskScore > 0.8 AND NotAcknowledged for 3 days → notify manager + create 1:1 task + raise HR task". Rules are tenant-defined in /pms/admin/automation with a visual builder, dry-run preview and full execution log.

It scores against the same RoleSkillRequirement and Behavioural Indicator data the calibration sessions audit, so it inherits the bias-detection layer (KL-divergence + Chi-square + manager bias patterns by gender / tenure / location). The model output itself is also screened by the bias guardrail; any pattern of systematically excluded cohorts triggers a BiasDetectionResult that HR must acknowledge or dismiss with a mandatory note.

Yes, where consent permits. /pms/dashboard/insights is the employee's personal AI inbox; /pms/dashboard/privacy is their Privacy Center. The PromotionReadiness card is shown on /pms/dashboard/growth. The Burnout self-view is shown on /pms/dashboard only if the employee has opted in. AIInteractionAudit makes every model call about an employee available to that employee via DSAR.

Fn_Consent_RevocationHandler fires on the ConsentRevoked event. Dependent features are immediately disabled (e.g. burnout monitoring stops; the burnout dashboard tile hides). Data masking is triggered where the consent type required deletion or anonymisation. The revocation timestamp + reason is stored on ConsentRecord for audit; the employee's Privacy Center reflects the change instantly.

Generic people analytics shows charts. Bynarize Early-Warning AI ships five purpose-built models with severity scoring, contributing factors, recommended actions, consent gating, automation wiring and full per-call audit. Insights become actions; predictions become 1:1 conversations; ignored employees become recognised. Dashboards stay; insights move.
