Question 1

Who is Team Inflection built for?

Accepted Answer

Founder-led teams of roughly 2 to 150 people — companies where the decisions about roles, pay and promotions are made in the room, with no HR department to fall back on. It is an HR operating system, not an HR department: two parts, the talent audit and the talent pipeline, in one simple product. No rollout, no training, no consultant's method with a licence attached.

Question 2

What do we actually get in the product?

Accepted Answer

Two parts in one process: the ABCD talent audit and the talent pipeline. That process is split into five modules, and nothing else — Company, Roles & Clarity Checker, People, Cycles and Assessments. Roles are written down with clear ownership, every people decision keeps its history, the pipeline stays connected to the roles it could fill, and each cycle shows what changed since the last one. The walkthrough on this page shows the screens, unedited.

Question 3

Is this a full HR or payroll system?

Accepted Answer

No. We are not payroll, benefits, recruiting or HR administration, and we don't replace managers or the conversations they have with their people. We cover the three things that hurt growing companies most: roles written down, people history kept, decisions that stay defensible a year later.

Question 4

How long does it take to get running?

Accepted Answer

An afternoon for the first pass. You answer a short set of questions about your team, the product drafts your roles and a starting audit, and you correct what it gets wrong. No implementation project, no training sessions, no setup fee — and nothing to configure before the first role is written.

Question 5

Does the AI decide anything about our people?

Accepted Answer

No. It drafts the role definition, prepares the assessment with the evidence attached, and keeps every note on the person so it comes back at the right moment. It never decides who is promoted, paid or moved, and it never infers from who someone is — only from what they have done. AI-assisted, manager-decided.

Question 6

We already have someone handling People topics. Do we still need this?

Accepted Answer

Then it takes away the parts nobody enjoys: chasing managers for a written record, rebuilding last year's audit from memory, keeping the pipeline current between cycles. The system holds the record and the continuity; your People person keeps the judgement and the conversations.

Question 7

Where does our data live, and who can see it?

Accepted Answer

Your records sit in your own workspace and only invited team members can open them. You can export everything you put in, at any time.

Question 8

What exactly is the beta offer — and what do you expect from us?

Accepted Answer

One hundred places. You run the full core product with your team for two months and tell us monthly what's missing or wrong — in one call and in writing. In return you get the product free for one year, including up to 100 employees — and after that your rate stays at $19 a month instead of $29. If more than 100 teams apply we select them by hand; which 100 they are makes no difference to the offer.

Question 9

What does it cost after the beta?

Accepted Answer

$29 per month, or $290 per year, plus $2 per month per extra employee beyond the first 10. Beta teams that finish the two months get one year free, up to 100 employees, and then $19 a month instead of $29, including up to 10 employees and $2 per month for each extra employee. Above 300 employees the price is custom — the same core product.

Question 10

What happens after we send the form?

Accepted Answer

You get a confirmation straight away, and a founder answers personally — usually with two questions about your team. If you're one of the first 100 teams, we set up your workspace and go through the first audit with you on a 30-minute call.
