This post-meeting rumination is linked to perception uncertainty — exactly the gap Phatic helps close.
We’re not just miscommunicating — we’re completely missing each other. It’s costing us relationships, opportunities, trust, and business blunders every year.
Research shows that brief speech samples reliably reveal patterns in tone, presence, engagement, and emotional state — no scripted dialogue required. This underpins Phatic’s training model of short, ambient samples.
Studies show people consistently overestimate how warm, clear, or engaged they sound. Trained listeners detect large discrepancies — exactly the gap Phatic closes with AI-powered feedback.
Acoustic features like pitch variation, speaking rate, and energy strongly correlate with likability, leadership behavior, and emotional wellbeing.
