Text analysisYour boss

What did your boss's text mean?

A dossier on the recent run of your thread with your boss shows the pattern behind the message you keep re-reading.

A single work text is unreadable on purpose — “ok.”, “let's talk tomorrow”, “sounds good” and nothing after it. What is readable is the pattern: how they usually reply, what gets a fast answer out of them, and whether this week's tone is actually different or you're just tired. A dossier covers the last 250 messages of the thread, so one ambiguous text stops carrying more weight than the couple hundred around it.

Good to know

Read the work dossier as context, not a verdict. What Makes Them Tick shows their patterns across the recent thread — which is exactly the antidote to reading one two-word reply like tea leaves the night before a one-on-one.

Common questions

Can Dossier tell if my boss is mad at me from their texts?

No tool honestly can, and Dossier doesn't pretend to. What it shows is the pattern — how they usually reply, what changed, and whether the message you're worried about is actually unusual for them. That context is usually what the worry needed.

Should I make work decisions based on a dossier?

No. A dossier is for reflection — it surfaces patterns in how two people text. It is not professional advice and nothing it writes is a finding of fact about your boss or your job.

A dossier is for fun and reflection, not advice. It surfaces patterns in how people text each other — it does not diagnose anyone, and nothing it writes is a finding of fact about another person. What leaves your Mac and what never does is set out in how Dossier protects your data.
