Personality intelligence

Most outages start as slow dependencies, not failed ones. We rebuilt our retry budget around that idea and pages dropped by a third.

Hiring note: we want engineers who write things down. Design docs are how we disagree productively.

CopyYour talk on retries at scale made a point I rarely hear: most outages start as slow dependencies, not failed ones. We built for exactly that failure mode. Would a two-page technical note be useful before we talk?

How it works
From public writing to a brief you can use
- 01
Gather public writing
Posts, articles, talks and interviews the person chose to publish. Never private messages or inboxes.
- 02
Read the language
Word choice, sentence structure and tone, the signals published research links to personality.
- 03
Estimate each trait
Every trait gets an estimate and its own confidence level. Thin or conflicting evidence is flagged.
- 04
Deliver the brief
A short summary with what to do and what to avoid, in LinkedIn, Gmail or your CRM.
The science
Five traits, measured by degree
Personality research describes people along five continuous traits, not a handful of types. Most of us sit somewhere between the ends.
Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Emotional stability
Where it works
In the tools your team already uses
The same brief follows the conversation, from research to first message to the CRM record.

Deliberate and risk-aware. Open with cost, risk and payback, and give him time to review.

Prepare discovery calls and brief each person on a buying committee the way they prefer.

Subject Your first calls
You said on a recent podcast that your reps lose deals in the first call, not the last. We help reps open that call the way each buyer prefers. Worth 15 minutes next week?
Keep it short and outcome-first. Sofia responds to direct asks and a concrete next step.
For recruiting teams
Write outreach that fits how each candidate likes to communicate. For personalization, never for screening.
Tejesha for recruitingTrust
Careful by design
Personality insights describe real people, most of whom have never heard of Tejesha.
- Public writing only
- Tejesha analyzes text people have published themselves. It never reads private messages or inboxes.
- Honest about uncertainty
- Every trait carries a confidence level, and weak estimates are labeled rather than presented as fact.
- Anyone can opt out
- People can ask to see, correct or delete what Tejesha holds about them, or be left out entirely.
- Not for decisions about people
- Briefs help you communicate well. They are not designed for hiring, screening or any decision about someone.
