HOUSTON · A Private Workplace Read
You do not have to prove your workplace is broken. You only have to tell me what happened.
Houston gives you a private, human-reviewed Workplace Brief that separates what you directly experienced from what remains uncertain — so you can decide your next step from a clearer place, not an exhausted one.
No payment on this page. Darrell explains price and next steps before anything is charged.
"Something feels off. I can't name it exactly. I keep coming home exhausted in a way that doesn't match what I actually did that day."
"I've tried adjusting — more flexible, more strategic about when I speak up. The situation keeps producing the same result."
"It's not just one incident. It's the meeting where I said the thing and nothing happened — then someone else said it twenty minutes later and it became the plan."
"I've started changing how I am at work. I'm quieter than I used to be. I don't know when that happened."
"I have a decision to make. I need to know — before I make it — whether this is about me or the place I'm in. The answer changes everything."
At 11pm, generic AI can feel easier than talking to another person. It responds instantly and may sound confident — often too confident to be trusted with a decision this size.
| Generic AI | Houston | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | General advice from a prompt | A Brief built from your specific account |
| Confidence | Sounds sure without separating fact from assumption | Separates experience, evidence, assumption, and unknown |
| Correction | No meaningful correction cycle | You correct, narrow, or reject it before it's final |
| Common advice | "Talk to HR," without context | Weighs safety, authority, and timing first |
| Accountability | Can't take responsibility for a bad suggestion | Personally reviewed and approved by Darrell |
| Scope | Doesn't know where its own scope ends | Names when legal, union, or clinical support fits better |
One open field, in your own order. One optional field for what you're trying to decide. Handled under the privacy terms shown before you submit.
What Houston can offer, the $97 USD price, and what to expect — before anything is charged. You decide whether to proceed.
Personally reviewed and approved by Darrell before delivery. Correct, narrow, reject, or withdraw what you shared — the decision stays yours.
Houston is one private Workplace Brief for one person. It organizes what happened, separates what is supported from what remains uncertain, and helps you decide a next step.
It does not rate your workplace or diagnose your organization, and you won't receive a numeric score. Darrell may use structured methods on public information, like your LinkedIn profile, to help write a more accurate Brief, and de-identified patterns from that may also help improve Houston and XRAY over time. If another form of support would fit better later — legal, union, clinical, or otherwise — Darrell will say so plainly. This page sells only Houston.
Darrell Ellens personally reviews and approves every Workplace Brief delivered during this pilot — not a template, not a bot. His research on women, workplace environments, and organizational signal integrity began with a commissioned study in 2011.

No. Houston does not diagnose your mental health, your history, or your psychology. If what you're experiencing suggests you'd benefit from professional support, the Brief will say so.
As long or as short as feels right. No minimum, no maximum, no need to organize it first.
Nothing, unless you want it to. Darrell can help you make a next step specific and proportionate — but whether to act, wait, seek support, or stop stays your decision.
Yes, any time. Email darrell@darrellellens.com to correct something, ask about what you shared, or withdraw entirely.
Houston does not produce an organizational culture rating, and you will not receive a numeric score. Darrell may use structured methods on public information, such as your LinkedIn profile, to help write a more accurate Brief. De-identified patterns from that may also help improve Houston and XRAY over time — nothing that could identify you is shared or shown to anyone else.
