Methodology

Six validated instruments. One topology of your team.

Peer-reviewed psychometrics — BFI-2, HEXACO-60, IPIP-NEO-120, ECR-R, PERMA, and Ryff PWB — feed a pipeline that ends in Topological Data Analysis: a coverage map of the team's personality space, the bridges that hold its clusters together, and a resilience read on what a single departure would change. Deterministic, reproducible, benchmarked — the sample team report is real engine output, and we say plainly what the method can't see.
