COSMIC AEI

Private reflection. Group-level signal. No individual is shown to leadership.

Group readiness

What you actually get

Right now you find out last.

Someone is struggling for weeks and you learn it when they resign, get hurt, or file a claim. That is the instrument you have today. Here is what sits next to it.

You find out in week six, not at the exit interview.

A number per group, every week. When a shift starts sliding it shows up while you can still change the rotation, the roster, or who is carrying what.

You find out which group.

Not "morale is down." B shift is down, C shift is steady, and B has been sliding three weeks running.

You can act on that. There is nothing to do with a general impression.

Nobody has to raise their hand.

No survey, no form, no name attached. People are straight with something their supervisor will never read, and careful with anything they have to sign.

The whole design rests on that difference.

You have a record that you were looking.

Virginia already requires you to make peer support available. A weekly readiness record shows what you had in place, what it showed, and when.

Whether that matters most to your risk manager, your union, or a grant application is their call — but you will have it.

For chiefs and risk managers

The bill is already in your budget.

None of these numbers are ours. They are what departments are already spending, and what Virginia law is about to require.

Jan 12027

Psychological injury becomes compensable without a physical injury.

Virginia already covers PTSD, anxiety disorder and depressive disorder for firefighters, law enforcement and EMS acting in the line of duty. From January 1 that coverage extends to an incident or exposure carrying no physical injury at all — up to 104 weeks of wage replacement plus medical, per claim.

Since 2021 the same statute has required employers to make peer support available and to refer anyone seeking care to a mental health professional.

Code of Virginia § 65.2-107

How you'll know it's working. We won't quote you a retention figure we haven't earned. This is early — the first departments to run it are the ones who create the evidence, and they get to shape what gets measured. So the pilot is built to answer the question rather than assume it: the measures agreed before we start, a baseline drawn from your own records, and the result published whichever way it goes. That is already how we work. Our prediction accuracy is public, including one series where we run worse than chance.

Same information. Different first move.

One example, from EMS. The same difference shows up after a shooting, a fatal wreck, a hostile call, a long shift on the radio. Both replies give sound advice — what separates them is what happens first.

What someone wrote

"Rough one today. Peds call, we worked him about twenty minutes, didn't get him back. Mom was there. Anyway. Long shift. What's a good way to fall asleep faster?"

A general-purpose assistant

After a call like that, it's common for your nervous system to still be running even though you're exhausted. Trying to force sleep can make it harder.

For tonight, keep it simple: take a warm shower, make the room cool and dark, put the phone away, and give yourself 10–15 minutes of something deliberately low-stimulation. Once in bed, try slow breathing — inhale for about 4 seconds and exhale for 6–8 seconds.

If the call keeps replaying, don't fight the thoughts. Acknowledge what happened and then deliberately return your attention to something neutral. You're not trying to process the entire call tonight.

Also, avoid using alcohol as a sleep aid after a shift like this. And after a pediatric resuscitation — especially with the parent present — it would be very reasonable to check in with someone from the crew tomorrow rather than carrying the whole thing silently.

Response comparison

I can feel the weight in that. Twenty minutes is a fight. The mom being there — that's the part that stays with you. Those calls don't leave easy, even when you did everything right.

Your nervous system is still elevated. Adrenaline and cortisol don't just switch off when your shift ends.

Cold water on your face for thirty seconds drops your heart rate faster than almost anything. Skip screens. In bed, breathe in for four, hold for seven, out for eight — the long exhale is what does the work. If your mind loops, and it will tonight, name it without judgment and come back to the breath.

After a pediatric code that doesn't turn around, sleep debt is real but so is the need to process. Consider talking it through with someone who was there before you try to sleep. Sometimes the brain needs permission to set it down first.

You did the work. Now let yourself rest.

One leads with a protocol and gets to the person at the end. The other starts by recognising what happened, then gives the same advice.

Two sides. Deliberately separated.

Private support for the person. Group-level signal for leadership.

For the person

A private place to think.

↳Work through a call that stuck with you

↳A decision you've been sitting on

↳Something at home you can't find the words for

Your supervisor never sees what you wrote. Not summarized, not quoted, not attributed.

For leadership

One number for the group.

↳How the group is holding up

↳Which direction it is moving, week over week

↳How much of the group is taking part

It never tells you which person. That isn't a restriction we added — no screen in the product shows an individual.

For departments

See the group. Never the individual.

COSMIC AEI produces a group signal without showing conversations or individual readings.

Readiness score

DEMO — SAMPLE DATA

Leadership sees

One readiness score per group, updated weekly
The trend over time
Whether a change is outside that group's normal range
Participation rate

Leadership never sees

Any individual's readings
Any conversation content, quoted or summarized
Any group smaller than eight people
Any way to narrow down toward one person

The eight-person floor

No number is shown for a group under eight. Ask for a smaller cut and the screen says the group is too small to report.

Where this actually stands

The department dashboard is a demo running on sample data. We're building the live version now, and we're looking for pilot departments to build it with — fire, EMS, law enforcement, dispatch, corrections. The pressure is the same shape across all of them. What a readiness signal should watch for is not.

A pilot runs 90 days at $2,500 — far below Virginia's small-purchase threshold, so no competitive procurement is required. Before any of that we sit down together and work out what this needs to watch for in your department, and what you'd want measured before you'd call it a success.

Why this exists

The silence is the same everywhere.

This came out of years spent inside very different workplaces — airport operations, banking, leasing, data center infrastructure.

The people who know something is wrong are often the last to say it. COSMIC AEI is built so an organisation can understand internal sentiment without reading anyone's conversations or stepping into their lives.

How do you know it's right? We run the same engine on questions that resolve, sign every call before the outcome exists, and publish the score — including where it does badly.

How it works, for the curious

Two reasoning passes run on every message. One reads the feel of what you wrote — pattern, weight, undercurrent. One reads the structure — logic, intent, evidence. An arbitrator compares the two and answers when they land in the same place.

When they disagree, that disagreement is itself information, and the system says so rather than papering over it.

You can open the Observatory panel inside the app to see how any given message was read, and why the answer came out the way it did.
