Understand work. Respect people.
How we intend Scallar to behave — and an honest account of where we are today.
Status — please read
Scallar is in a pre-launch phase. The principles below describe intended practices guiding product design. They are not certifications or audited compliance statements. Formal policies (security, data processing, privacy) will be published here once approved.
- 01
Privacy by design
Individual detail is visible to the individual concerned. Visibility boundaries are part of the architecture, not a setting.
Intended practice - 02
Appropriate aggregation
Managers work with team-level information. No drill-down into personal AI usage histories.
Intended practice - 03
Human oversight
Consequential decisions require validation by an accountable person. Evaluation and compensation stay at Levels 1–2.
Intended practice - 04
Explainable recommendations
Every recommendation should show which signals informed it and what remains uncertain.
Intended practice - 05
Contestability
People can contest a recommendation or conclusion that concerns them.
Intended practice - 06
Responsible data use
Only authorized sources, used for the stated purpose. Organizational intelligence, not surveillance.
Intended practice - 07
Regulatory considerations
Designed with the EU AI Act's treatment of workplace AI in mind. No certification or audit is claimed.
Intended practice
Individual view vs manager view.
Individual detail is visible to the individual concerned. Managers see aggregated team-level information, with no drill-down. Aggregation alone doesn't guarantee anonymity in small teams, so visibility thresholds are part of the design.

Four levels of autonomy.
- Level 1
Private information
Inform the individual directly. Only they see it.
- Level 2
Manager recommendation
Recommend an action to an authorized human.
- Level 3
Execution with approval
Execute an authorized action after validation.
- Level 4
Autonomous low-risk
Execute permitted low-risk actions autonomously.
Hard rule: anything relating to evaluation or compensation is restricted to Levels 1–2. Scallar never decides salaries, promotions, ratings, disciplinary actions or dismissals.
