Teho is for team-level work redesign, not individual employee monitoring
Is Teho employee monitoring?
No. Teho is designed to answer which work should change at team or workflow level. It is not designed to produce individual productivity scores, rankings, leaderboards or manager-facing activity feeds. Employee monitoring is a distinct purpose and governance category.

Decision value
Use Teho when the sponsor can define a work-redesign question and accept team-level evidence boundaries. If the requirement is to assess or track named individuals, Teho is not the right product.
Best fit and not best fit
Best fit when
- The question concerns a team, workflow or operating model.
- The sponsor accepts explicit privacy boundaries and team-level outputs.
Not the best fit when
- The goal is individual productivity scoring or ranking.
- The requested output is a supervisor-facing activity feed about named workers.
Decision detail
What to check before acting
Purpose changes the design
A work-redesign study begins with an operating question, agreed scope, capture boundaries and cohort thresholds. The output concerns the work pattern and decision, not a person’s productivity.
Make the boundary testable
Before deployment, confirm what is captured, what is excluded, who can see outputs, how small cohorts are suppressed, how long evidence is retained and what decision the evidence may support.
