CASE #001
SO WHAT IS IT?

A corporate true-crime case your team actually wants to crack.

The Victima star employee who quietly checked out
The Suspectsthe systems and habits that pushed them out
The Jobsolve it together, before it happens for real
HOW IT WORKS

A team activity.
A real investigation.

01 — THE CASE
Meet the victim
A high performer goes quiet — her status light still green. Something happened, and someone knows more than they're saying.
02 — THE SUSPECTS
Follow the evidence
Four systems on trial — not people. Processes, policies, communication gaps. Each had proximity. Each had motive.
03 — THE DEBATE
Argue your case
Your team debates, votes, and challenges each other. The conversation no engagement survey ever started.
04 — THE VERDICT
Uncover the truth
The sealed verdict names what drove her out: the system failure that cost the org a great employee. The lesson sticks because your team found it.
THE CASE FILES

One flagship case, ready to run.
One built around your team.

★ FLAGSHIP CASE
CASE #001
The Last Green Dot
VICTIM: MAYA CHEN — CUSTOMER SUCCESS MANAGER
97% client retention, groomed for team lead. Her Slack dot stayed green while she quietly checked out — then she started logging off early, then she left. By month fourteen she was gone. Her director said he was blindsided. He'd been watching the green dot, not the person.
