The First Week
No process overhaul. No new meetings. No behavior policing. Just a silent installation that pays off immediately.
Connect to Slack or Teams
The admin authorizes the StandIn integration. It sits silently in your workspace. No one is forced to use it yet.
The First Wrap
One person—usually a lead tired of late-night messages—publishes the first wrap. It takes 3 minutes before they close their laptop.
The First Interception
While that person sleeps, a colleague asks a question. StandIn answers instantly using the wrap context. The loop is closed.
The Daily Rhythm
StandIn creates a natural handover protocol that respects the sun.
Sarah ends her day
She publishes a structured wrap listing her progress and blocking issues. She turns off notifications and goes to dinner. She is truly offline.
StandIn holds the context
For the next 5 hours, StandIn is the active representative for the London team. It answers questions sourced directly from the wrap.
Alex starts his day
He asks Slack: "Did Sarah finish the API?" StandIn answers immediately with a link to the PR. Alex starts working without waiting.
What does not happen
No Surveillance Culture
We don't count keystrokes, "active" time, or green dots. We only care about the context you choose to publish.
No Productivity Scoring
There is no leaderboard for wraps. Publishing a wrap is a courtesy to your team, not a metric for your manager.
No Management Dashboards
Managers cannot see who is online or query "what is Sarah doing right now?".
No Private Message Ingestion
StandIn never reads your DMs. If you didn't post it publicly or wrap it, it doesn't exist.
