How engagements work
We don't sell seats.
We earn the room.
Shepherd works with a small number of organisations at a time. Engagements start with a conversation, prove themselves in a four-week pilot, and grow quarter by quarter — never faster than trust allows.
01
Discovery call
30 minutes
We listen. You describe the people-shape of the team — what's heavy right now, what's been tried, what success would feel like in 90 days.
02
Pilot
Four weeks · up to 50 employees
Shepherd is invited into a single team or department. We hand over the HR dashboard, baseline pulse, and a weekly read of what's surfacing — anonymised, never per-person.
03
Measured rollout
Quarter by quarter
If the pilot earned its seat, we expand carefully — by department, by office, by need. Pricing is set after the pilot, scoped to your team and your goals.
What's included
- Unlimited five-minute conversations for every employee
- Anonymised happiness signals + theme tags
- HR dashboard with department & cohort views (no individual transcripts)
- Monthly insights report written for your leadership
- Single sign-on, role-based access, audit trails
- A dedicated success partner during pilot and rollout
What's not included
- Per-seat self-serve checkout — this isn't a SaaS landing page
- Public price cards we haven't earned
- Reading individual conversations — even your CHRO never sees them
Start with a conversation.
Tell us about your team. We'll tell you honestly whether Shepherd is the right fit — and if it isn't, we'll point you to something that is.
