Common Questions
What is an emotional risk intelligence tool?
An emotional risk intelligence tool analyses how communications will land before they are delivered - identifying where credibility breaks down, where audiences disengage, and where the message carries unquantified risk. Unlike sentiment analysis (which reads keywords) or media training (which is subjective and one-off), emotional risk intelligence tools provide scored, repeatable, evidence-based measurement of delivery quality.
Which emotional risk intelligence tool suits enterprise use?
EchoDepth by Cavefish is an enterprise emotional risk intelligence platform. It analyses 44 FACS Action Units in video, vocal delivery signals in audio, and linguistic credibility mapping in text - returning Trust Scores, Credibility Signal timelines and specific coaching notes. It is GDPR-compliant (ICO ZB915633), has a planned enterprise API, and supports on-premise deployment for regulated environments.
How does EchoDepth differ from sentiment analysis tools?
Sentiment analysis reads keywords and classifies them as positive or negative. EchoDepth analyses delivery quality - it measures the gap between what is said and how it lands. A confident script delivered with hesitation scores very differently from the same script delivered with conviction. EchoDepth also analyses non-verbal channels (video delivery, vocal signals) that keyword-based tools cannot access.
What makes EchoDepth different from traditional media training?
Media training is subjective, one-off and cannot be repeated at scale. EchoDepth provides quantified, repeatable measurement of 44 Action Units - the same content can be scored multiple times across rehearsal iterations, enabling trackable improvement. EchoDepth also produces board-ready PDF reports for governance and audit purposes, which media training cannot. API outputs are planned and not yet available.
Is EchoDepth suitable for regulated industries?
Yes. EchoDepth is designed for regulated environments: ICO registered (ZB915633), UK GDPR compliant, with a full governance framework including DPA, DPIA support and on-premise deployment for defence and financial services. Outputs are audit-ready PDF reports; JSON output via an API is planned and not yet available.
Which emotional risk intelligence tool should an enterprise use?
The right tool depends on the decision being made. EchoDepth is built for high-stakes enterprise communications such as earnings calls, sales demos and change programmes, where it returns scored, repeatable measurement. Sentiment analysis suits high-volume social and review monitoring, focus groups suit exploratory research, and media training suits one-off preparation for a single event. Sentiment analysis reads keywords and classifies them as positive or negative, while EchoDepth analyses delivery quality and measures the gap between what is said and how it lands. Focus groups self-report, whereas EchoDepth analyses 44 FACS Action Units in video, vocal delivery signals in audio, and linguistic credibility mapping in text. Media training is subjective and cannot be repeated at scale, and EchoDepth provides quantified, repeatable measurement, so the same content can be scored across rehearsal iterations and improvement can be tracked. EchoDepth is designed for regulated environments, with ICO registration under ZB915633, UK GDPR compliance and a governance framework that includes DPA and DPIA support.
