PEOPLE ANALYTICS
Ask in plain language. Get decision-ready visualizations.
No SQL, manual data pulls, or chart builders. Ask a question and get a visualization grounded in your people data and organizational context.
Ask about your workforce data — e.g. "Headcount by department"Ask about your workforce data — e.g. "Headcount by department"HOW IT WORKS
Analytics that keep up with your questions
Because Analytics runs on Surface's people intelligence layer, every chart uses the same definitions, permissions, organizational context, and benchmarks as the rest of the platform. A question becomes a chart, not a data project.

Ask in plain language
Ask a question in plain language, refine it with follow-ups. Surface selects the right visualization, or lets you specify the chart you want.
Make it yours
Change the chart type, filters, labels, and palette. Keep it live so the data stays current, or save a static version for a specific moment.
Flexible visualizations
Move between bar, line, donut, scatter, and other chart types without rebuilding the analysis, then save the view to your gallery.
No complex analytics setup
Charts draw from the same governed data and organizational context that power insights, benchmarks, and recommendations across Surface.

EXPERTISE BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Built on lessons from the people shaping modern work
Through conversations with leading operators, researchers, and executives, we bring current thinking on talent and organizational performance into how Surface interprets signals and recommends action. Here's what we learned from Cristina Cordova, COO at Linear:
Cristina Cordova
COO, Linear
Measure impact, not activity
Linear tracks what work changed, not hours logged. The metric you pick is the behavior you get.
Evidence over convention
Cordova grounds calls in what her own data shows, not in what the industry assumes is true.
Every hire has to expand the team
Linear passed $1B in value with under 200 people. Deliberate growth needs numbers you can defend.
