What's limiting how much your team can ship?
A team's output is capped by its single biggest bottleneck — usually a spot where work piles up on the people everyone relies on. Currant reads the @mentions already flowing through your Slack, shows you where that is and what the waiting costs, and helps you relieve it so the whole team can do more. It measures waiting, not message text.

A team ships as fast as its biggest bottleneck — not as fast as its busiest person.
Output isn't capped by how hard people work; it's capped by where work waits — the unanswered mention, the review nobody's picked up, the approval sitting in a thread. Relieve that one spot and everything downstream starts moving again. The hard part has always been seeing it. That's what Currant does.
See what the waiting adds up to.
Currant totals the time work spends waiting each week — in hours, and in dollars if you want them — and plots it against the work still arriving, so you can tell whether the backlog is growing or easing. A calm, honest read on flow: useful for catching a building crunch early, and for sizing when a team genuinely needs more hands.
Most delivery problems are systemic, not personal. For the first time, you can see the cause — and fix it, instead of leaning harder on your best people.
Find the work only one person can do.
Over time, some work becomes something only one person knows how to clear — invisible until they move on, and then it stalls. Currant surfaces these single points of failure and how concentrated each one is, so you can cross-train and add a second responder while it's still easy. Resilience is about the team not hinging on any one person — never about ranking anyone.
See where attention is spread thin.
When a lot of initiatives run at once, people end up split across several at a time — and everything moves a little slower. Currant shows how many things the team is juggling and where attention is fragmented, so the conversation about what to focus on together (and what can wait) starts from a shared picture instead of a hunch.
It measures waiting — never a word anyone wrote.
Currant is the opposite of a watchful eye. It keeps only that a mention happened and whether it was answered — who's waiting on whom, and for how long — and nothing else. It points to where work concentrates so you can help; it never repeats a word anyone wrote.
Content-free by default
Metadata only — who, when, which channel, how long. No message text, no DMs, no behavior score. Ever.
Load, not blame
It shows where work piles up so you can add backup — framed as load to relieve, never a scoreboard for people.
Least-privilege, opt-in
People turn on their own status and can pause it in a tap. Anything deeper is disclosed and per-person.
Try it with your team.
Currant is in an early pilot — free while we work closely with the first teams. Add it to Slack, point it at a few channels, and you'll have a first read within a day. Content-free by default; nothing is read until you say so.
