Burnout rarely announces itself. It builds quietly, over weeks or months, until it's hard to ignore. Soumya Ghosh, a Program Manager at Quickbase, had been there himself. So he built something to help teams catch the early signs — and he built it in Pave. It's a lightweight daily check-in app he called 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲. At the end of the day, employees note things like stress, focus, and hours worked, and over time the app surfaces patterns — say, that meeting-heavy days tend to drain energy, or interruption-heavy days drive up stress. What stands out is how carefully he designed it around trust: 🔒 Individual check-ins stay private to the employee 📊 Managers see only aggregated, team-level trends, never personal responses ✅ Employees opt in before their data ever contributes to a team view And it doesn't diagnose anyone. It simply makes quiet patterns visible early enough to do something about them. Soumya isn't a developer. As he put it, "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦." He wrote down the problem he cared about, shaped it into clear prompts, and had a working app in about 12 hours. That's what Pave is for: letting the people closest to a problem build the solution themselves.
