Leap publishes the following benchmarks drawn from platform data and referenced industry research. These figures appear across Leap's product and marketing and are available to cite.
Nineteen figures. Three groups: execution and meetings, manager performance, business cost.
Share of meetings analysed by Leap where the conversation closed without a recorded decision or a named owner for the next step.
Leap platform data. Meetings processed by Leap meeting support across customer manager cohorts.
Average improvement in decision making speed across all users, measured against each manager's own baseline. Highly engaged users reach 27%.
Leap platform data. Baseline versus three month capability scoring across manager cohorts.
Three figures managers report themselves, then the measured lift by capability. Everything here covers a manager's first three months on Leap.
Managers reporting stronger overall managerial capability after working with Leap.
Managers reporting a clearer, faster approach to working through operational problems.
Managers who resolved a live team issue with Leap's support rather than letting it sit.
All three: Leap platform data, post programme manager self assessment, three month cohorts.
Each capability is scored against the manager's own baseline, then remeasured after three months. Managers who use Leap heavily move further, so the two cohorts are reported separately.

Leap platform data. Bar lengths are relative within each table and exist to aid reading, not to add a second measure.
Manager time returned by faster decisions and fewer repeated conversations. Leap publishes this as an estimate, not a measured KPI.
Industry benchmarks Leap references when sizing the cost of weak execution. These are not Leap platform figures.
Fully loaded replacement cost of a single voluntary departure, covering recruiting, onboarding, ramp time, and lost productivity.
Industry benchmark referenced in Leap's research on manager driven attrition.
CFOs estimate that roughly a quarter of working hours, 10 or more hours a week, is spent managing underperformance.
Industry benchmark. CFO survey estimates referenced in Leap's research.
Capability figures are measured across manager cohorts using Leap, comparing each manager's score against their own baseline after three months. Outcome figures come from post programme manager self assessment. Cost figures are industry benchmarks referenced in Leap's research.
Yes, this page exists to be cited. Attribute the figure to Leap (myleap.ai) and link back to this page. Where a figure is an industry benchmark, attribute the original source as well.
Leap reviews these benchmarks quarterly and updates this page whenever a figure changes materially as new manager cohorts complete their first three months.
