Deltu collects weekly growth signals from every person — delta status, pressure, alignment — through a double-blind mechanism. When signals collide, the gaps become your most valuable conversations.
OKR cycles are too slow. By the time you review, the world has moved on. People who stopped growing 6 weeks ago? You find out at the quarterly review.
Employees write OKRs in January, forget them by February, and scramble to self-assess in March. The document exists, but alignment doesn't.
A manager thinks "they're doing fine." The partner thinks "I'm stuck and nobody notices." This gap accumulates silently, eroding trust until a crisis forces it open.
Not everything can be measured. Early-stage products, R&D explorations, culture initiatives — forcing KRs on them produces numbers that mean nothing.
Every partner self-reports their weekly growth signal: stable, breakthrough, blocked, or stalled. Takes 30 seconds.
The manager marks the same person's Delta — without seeing the partner's self-report. Double-blind by design.
Both submit, both reveal. When they disagree, the system flags it. That gap is the best 1:1 conversation starter you'll ever have.
Most management tools create anxiety. Deltu is designed to make honesty the path of least resistance.
"Stable" means you're on track — it's the easiest button to press, not a mediocre grade. Most people, most weeks, are stable. That's healthy.
The stalled button is intentionally harder to press — de-emphasized in the UI to prevent careless labeling. Marking someone stalled should require deliberate thought.
When you and your manager disagree, the system doesn't flag an error — it generates a conversation starter. Divergence is the most valuable signal.
High-load is self-marked — because the people under the most pressure are the least likely to speak up. Making it visible turns silent burden into shared support.
Every person's journey told in colored blocks. 26 weeks of history at a glance — no charts to interpret, no dashboards to learn.
Stable is the norm — not a failure. The UI makes it the easiest choice.
Stalled is de-emphasized — the button is intentionally harder to press. No accidental stigma.
Trends auto-calculate — accelerating, sliding, steady, or fluctuating. You see patterns, not just snapshots.
Both sides submit independently. Neither sees the other's assessment until both are in. When they diverge, that's not a problem — that's the most valuable conversation waiting to happen.
Partner says "breakthrough", manager says "stable" — they need to align on what breakthrough means.
Partner says "blocked", manager says "stable" — the manager isn't seeing an obstacle. Time to listen.
Cognitive gap detected. 1:1 agenda auto-generated: "Align on what breakthrough looks like."
Every company-level direction starts with a Narrative — a paragraph that explains why this matters, not just what the target is. When everyone reads the same "why", they can self-align without being told what to do.
Narrative — the "why" behind each direction. Not a title, but a story anyone can read and judge priorities from.
Metrics — quantifiable indicators with baseline and target. For mature, measurable business lines.
Milestones — verifiable key moments with completion dates. For early-stage exploration where numbers don't exist yet.
Deltu isn't a dashboard you dread opening. It's a 5-minute weekly rhythm — mark your delta, see what surfaces, have the right conversation. The system does the rest.
Monday nudge — a gentle prompt reminds you to mark your Delta. Not a deadline, not a demand.
Smart 1:1 agenda — divergences automatically generate suggested talking points. No more "what should we discuss?"
Guided onboarding — a built-in interactive guide explains the system to every role: Founder, Manager, and Partner. No training session needed.
26-week memory — half a year of growth history in colored blocks. Your trajectory tells its own story.
In math, Δ means the amount of change. Deltu turns every person's weekly change into a signal — and surfaces the signals that matter most: who's accelerating, who's stuck, and where your perception diverges from reality.
