The Elephant – Safely surface the unspoken issue in team conversations

Summary: The Elephant is a tool that lets team members anonymously identify unspoken issues during meetings. When two or more people mention similar concerns independently, the shared theme is revealed, helping teams recognize hidden blockers without exposure or discussion threads.

What it does

The Elephant collects anonymous input on unspoken concerns from team members and surfaces only those shared by multiple people, keeping unique responses private. It avoids votes, threads, or feedback mechanisms.

Who it's for

It is designed for teams and meeting participants who sense unresolved issues but hesitate to voice them openly.

Why it matters

The tool addresses the problem of silent blockers in meetings by providing a safe way to reveal shared but unspoken concerns, enabling more transparent team communication.
