The following is my first draft of a scientific paper for my hypothesis; that we can resolve conflicts in workplace teams more effectively and efficiently by using AI powered technology to address minor spats or micro-conflicts before they have a chance to escalate into toxic conflicts.
Promoting Civility Vs Addressing Incivility: A Smoke Detector Approach to Preventing Toxic Conflict
Most psychological safety experts emphasize promoting civility in workplace teams as the foundation for a healthy and productive environment.

He argues that disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action are crucial components for transforming a good company into a great one. Here are some key points he makes about discipline in teams...
Building Thriving Teams: A Practical Approach to Psychological Safety
Would it be fair to say that most employee complaints stem from a sense of being treated unfairly by coworkers or management? I think so. Therefore, wouldn't it make reasonable sense to offer them a way to address this unfairness directly and in real-time? I also think so.
