The Hidden Problem

Collaboration breaks down silently, quietly. By the time it's visible, the damage is done.

67% of project failures are caused by relationship breakdowns — not technical issues.

What is Upcatch?

Early visibility. Targeted action.

Upcatch is an AI-powered platform that monitors collaboration health across your organisation — and suggests opt-in meetups to resolve friction before it derails projects.

How we solve it
01

Observe

Privacy-safe signals from your existing tools. No message reading, no surveillance.

02

Detect

AI identifies early warning signs in collaboration patterns before they impact delivery.

03

Connect

Intelligent, opt-in meetup suggestions that strengthen the right relationships.

How Upcatch works

01

Observe collaboration patterns

Privacy-safe interaction signals. No message reading. Just connection patterns between teams and departments.

02

Identify early collaboration risk

Detect patterns narrowing, silos forming, and risk rising over time. Get your Relational Risk Score.

03

Targeted coffee meetups

Not random coffee chats. Smart, opt-in meetups between specific people who need to connect. 15-minute max.

04

Learn and improve

System learns which connections matter most. Risk score improves as collaboration health increases.

Pattern Detection

Smart Suggestions

AI-curated meetups based on real collaboration signals

Upcatch analyzes team interaction patterns to suggest the most valuable connections — not random pairings, but strategic introductions that address actual collaboration gaps.

Why We're Different

Not another "random coffee" tool

Random coffee tools pair people for social chats. Upcatch connects specific people to solve real collaboration problems before they hurt your business.

Risk Intelligence

What is the Collaboration Risk Score?

A directional signal that detects change early — not individual performance, but team-level health patterns.

Team-level

Never individual

Directional

Not a precise score

Actionable

Triggers interventions

How the score is formed

We analyze privacy-safe interaction metadata — not content — to calculate three weighted factors:

How many meaningful cross-team connections exist. Low breadth = siloed teams.

Example: 3 people handle 80% of cross-team communication → High concentration → Higher risk

Whether collaboration depends on a few 'bridge' people. High concentration = fragile.

Example: 3 people handle 80% of cross-team communication → High concentration → Higher risk

How fast patterns are changing. Rapid decline = urgent attention.

Always-On Intelligence

AI monitors your teams continuously

While you focus on strategic work, our AI works in the background — watching for collaboration patterns that indicate emerging risk.

1

24/7 Pattern Analysis

AI continuously analyzes collaboration metadata to detect emerging patterns and anomalies.

2

Trend Prediction

Machine learning models predict risk trajectories before they impact delivery.

3

Smart Interventions

AI suggests targeted meetups based on who would benefit most from connecting.

Why Relational Risk Intelligence matters

The missing metric that predicts delivery success

🚨

Early Warning System

RRI acts like smoke detection for collaboration health. You get alerts before the fire starts.

Prevent delivery delays by weeks
📊

Objective Measurement

Remove gut feelings and politics. RRI provides data-driven insights about team connectivity.

Make informed leadership decisions
🔒

Privacy-First Intelligence

See patterns without reading messages. Team-level insights protect individual privacy.

Build trust while gaining visibility
🎯

Targeted Interventions

Instead of team-wide initiatives, focus on the specific connections that matter most.
