Quadratic prepares your written response to a PIP, show-cause letter or allegation. Before it reaches you, every claim is checked against the Fair Work Act, the draft is read the way a hostile employer would read it, and a final independent stage decides whether it’s ready — if a check can’t be completed, it’s held back, not guessed.

The system, working

Watch a response get produced.Every document goes through this sequence before it reaches you.

Reading your letter

Show-cause letter · two pages · six stated concerns · response due in seven days.

Identifying what must be answered

Each concern in the letter becomes an item your response has to address — none can be skipped.

PunctualityClient complaintMissed targetsPrior warningProcess not followedStated deadline

Verifying the legal frame

The concerns are read against the provisions that govern how they can be used.

Drafting your response

A reply that answers every concern, in your voice, on the record.

Reading it as your employer will

The draft is re-read from the other side of the table, looking for anything that can be turned against you.

Two sentences flagged. One admission you didn’t make, one claim without a source — both rewritten.

Independent review

Structure, tone and every factual claim are corroborated against their sources. The stage that decides release didn’t write your response — and if a single verification can’t be completed, the document is held back, not guessed.

Released to you

Response released · ready to download

A scripted replay of the vetting sequence. The letter shown is illustrative — your document is seen only by the system that builds it.

Situations we handle

Built for the letter in front of you.

  • Situation

    PIP response

    A performance improvement plan questions your work in writing. Your reply shapes everything that follows.

    Response windows are often short — sometimes days.

  • Situation

    Show-cause response

    A show-cause letter asks why your employment should continue. Each stated reason needs an answer.

    Deadlines are usually fixed, and close.

  • Situation

    Allegation or investigation response

    An allegation letter asks for your version of events, in writing. What you write becomes part of the record.

    You are often asked to respond before a meeting.

Checks and balances

One model can sound confident and be wrong.So no single check decides your response is ready.

“The part that writes your response never gets to clear it.”

The Fair Work Commission has flagged a rise in AI-assisted submissions that “look professional but are fundamentally flawed.” Quadratic is built so yours isn’t one of them.

  • 01

    Draft

    Your response is written for you, answering every concern in the letter.

  • 02

    Check

    A separate stage verifies each legal claim against the Fair Work Act — weak or unsupported references are corrected.

  • 03

    Hostile read

    Another stage reads it the way your employer would, looking for anything that could be turned against you.

  • 04

    Rule

    A final stage decides on release. If a single check can’t be completed, the document is held back — not guessed.

Several independent checks, not one. If one misses something, the next is built to catch it — and the part that writes your response is never the part that clears it.

It’s built to push back on your draft, not flatter it. How the checks are kept independent is deliberately not published — that independence is the product.

How that independence works is proprietary. More detail, in plain language

The boundary

This is not legal advice.It’s a tool to help you write a stronger response.

Quadratic helps you put your own position in writing. It doesn’t represent you, and it doesn’t replace free, independent help. The Fair Work Commission’s Workplace Advice Service offers free legal assistance to eligible workers, and the Fair Work Ombudsman explains your workplace rights.

If things feel like too much right now, Lifeline is available any time on 13 11 14.

From the founder

Quadratic is designed, built and operated in Melbourne. I started it because the moment a letter lands, the employer has a process and the worker has a deadline. The system is live and in private pilot now. If it would help you, request access — you’ll be dealing with a person, not a funnel.
