Powe ed by i stitutio al wo ld models, the platfo m helps executives evaluate whe e to deploy people a d AI age ts, weighi g the costs a d co seque ces of each choice befo e committi g esou ces. Sig alOS custome s I fi ite a d VetJobs will be the fi st to use.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Sig al Labs a ou ced Sig alWo k™, a wo k allocatio platfo m built fo CHROs, CIOs, CTOs, a d CEOs who eed to k ow ot just what AI ca do fo thei wo kfo ce, but what it should do, a d at what cost. Rathe tha a ma ageme t o epo ti g tool, Sig alWo k is built to allocate wo k ac oss people a d AI age ts o a si gle ledge a d execute autho ized actio s withi e te p ise-defi ed co t ols.

“You’ e u i g a mix of people a d AI age ts agai st goals that used to be staffed by people alo e,” said Rajeev Ro a ki, Fou de a d CEO of Sig al Labs. “You eed to u de sta d how that wo k fits togethe a d what happe s whe you cha ge who does it. I stitutio al wo ld models let us ehea se those choices befo e committi g esou ces. Sig alWo k tu s that u de sta di g i to allocatio a d executio , withi the e te p ise’s ules, a d lea s f om what actually happe s.”

What Sig alWo k Solves Fo :Wo kfo ce pla i g today is split ac oss a applica t t acki g system, a HRIS, a d fi a ce, o e of which talk to each othe o ca y a p edictive view. Two failu e patte s follow: AI spe d climbs u checked because toke cost is eve measu ed agai st the outcome it was mea t to p oduce, a d oles get automated wholesale, taki g with them the elatio ships a d judgme t a pe so built up, which ca b eak the wo kflows that depe ded o that pe so .

“Afte seei g the p ototype, we’ e eage to use Sig alWo k. We’ve al eady see p oof that Sig alWo k eases the wo k of g a t complia ce by 50% a d i c eases ou p oductivity to fulfill those g a ts, fu the optimizi g ou wo kfo ce ma ageme t,” said Jamie Dale, S . Di ecto of Tech ology & Data I f ast uctu e at VetJobs. “We’ve had outsta di g suppo t a d powe ful automatio th ough B assRi g fo yea s, that has t a sfo med ou ec uiti g ope atio s, savi g us the equivale t of two full-time employees eve y week while givi g us complete backe d co t ol f om a si gle platfo m. Now with Sig alWo k we a e i c easi gly co fide t we will meet the futu e of wo k.”

How It Wo ks:

• Sig alWo k co ects i te al systems (e.g., B assRi g, Wo kday, SAP) a d exte al data (e.g., ews, weathe , geopolitical eve ts, gove me t pla i g) i to a si gle view of the wo kfo ce, the dete mi es what wo k should be p io itized a d which mix of huma judgme t a d machi e capacity should pe fo m it. Rathe tha optimizi g fo maximum automatio , it weighs the cost of each optio agai st the isk of losi g huma judgme t o ove sight, a d ecomme ds the mix that p oduces the best esult.
• E te p ises ca p eview the impact of thi d-pa ty AI age ts, t acked o the same ledge with the same cost a d gove a ce co t ols as huma oles.
• Decisio Memo y co ects each allocatio a d actio to its obse ved outcome. That evide ce feeds back i to the i stitutio al wo ld models, helpi g efi e assumptio s, assess whe e p edictio s diffe ed f om esults, a d imp ove futu e allocatio s as the o ga izatio cha ges.

“Sig alWo k is i te ded to move the focus f om time-to-hi e towa d time-to-outcome by eadi g the fu ded wo k po tfolio, ide tifyi g u its of wo k called ‘missio s,’ a d co ecti g them with huma a d age tic AI capacity i a u ified ledge ,” said 451 Resea ch by S&P Global Se io Resea ch A alyst, Etha Ray.

2. Allocate wo k a d atte tio . P io itize wo k ac oss people a d AI age ts, a d su face decisio s that equi e huma judgme t.
3. Execute withi e te p ise co t ols. Act o app oved allocatio s withi defi ed pe missio s, budgets, a d ove sight equi eme ts.
4. Sou ce AI age ts. Pla a d p ovisio thi d-pa ty age ts f om Sig alWo k’s ma ketplace di ectly to wo kfo ce pla s.

“A pla built fo a static headcou t ca ‘t keep up with a wo kfo ce that cha ges shape eve y qua te : a ew model ships, a team eo ga izes, a divisio abso bs a layoff,” said Rya Jackso , Se io Di ecto of P oduct at Sig al Labs. “What you eed is ‘t a pla i g tool that sits o the side. It’s the system doi g the allocati g a d the executi g, updated as fast as the wo kfo ce itself cha ges.”
