Acceptance Velocity™

Acceptance Velocity™ is how quickly a new group takes you in: a new job, a new team, a new client, a room of strangers.

Some people are part of the team in a week; others are still introducing themselves after three months. This signal shows how fast you are received, and where that slows down.

How people describe it

People rarely search for the signal by name. They describe what it feels like when it is weak:

• “why do people ignore me in group conversations”
• “how to make a good first impression at a new job”
• “why do I feel invisible in a new job”
