Second VisionSecond Vision: The Self-Awareness Engine for Hidden Builders
People don't experience you the way you think they do.
Second Vision shows the gap between who you believe you are and how people around you actually experience you.
3 minutes. People you already know. No strangers rating you.
Aggregated peer perception. No individual feedback shown.
Who we are
Built by Hidden Builders, for hidden builders
We are Hidden Builders—a company creating tools for the quiet achievers. The people who ship work, not updates. Who solve problems instead of performing solutions.
Our flagship product, Second Vision, helps these "hidden builders" see themselves clearly—through the eyes of people who actually experience their work.
Most misunderstandings are invisible to the person causing them.
People rarely tell you how they experience you. Not because they're dishonest, but because it's uncomfortable.
So you walk around with one version of yourself.
Everyone else reacts to another.
Not all feedback means the same thing.
Your partner experiences your empathy.
Your colleagues experience your thinking.
Your wider network experiences your presence.
Second Vision doesn't average these voices.
It normalizes them.
This is where blind spots show up.
You rate yourself 8/10 on listening.
People who work with you say 5/10.
Gap: You may be overestimating by 3 points
You rate yourself 7/10 on being direct.
People who work with you say 8.5/10.
No commentary needed. The gap speaks for itself.
Blind spots don't break relationships.
Unnoticed blind spots do.
- Promotions stall for reasons no one explains
- Conflicts feel "out of nowhere"
- Feedback feels confusing or unfair
- People disengage without saying why
Second Vision gives you signal before damage.
