Key concepts
Understand how assessments, blueprints, organisations, cohorts, and waves fit together.
Design the assessment
An assessment is the instrument you build. It contains modules, and each module contains questions. The category determines the available workflow: Assessment, Survey, Quiz, or 360 feedback.
A blueprint is a reusable scoring design. Its dimensions describe what you measure; question mappings connect answers to those dimensions. Interpretation bands explain score ranges. Archetypes are named profiles selected by matching rules.
Result feedback configured on the assessment's Feedback tab is separate from blueprint archetypes. It is the text participants read about their overall score when they finish an ordinary assessment or quiz; it does not list completed responses.
Organise delivery
A training-partner account contains its team and client organisations. Each cohort belongs to an organisation and an assessment. Each wave belongs to a cohort and represents a round of collection.
For example, a leadership cohort might complete an identified pre-training wave and a post-training wave of the same assessment. Matched dimension analysis compares people with suitable scores in both rounds. This describes observed change, not proof that training caused it.
Understand participation
Ordinary participants open a wave link, answer questions, and submit. An identified wave associates answers with a participant; an anonymous wave does not collect their identity for those answers.
A 360 campaign adds subjects, raters, rater categories, nominations, and rating assignments. Subjects are the people receiving feedback. Raters give it. They use personal email links to enter My360.
After a 360 closes, a dedicated pulse can ask raters about selected focus areas again. Open Floor is a separate live question-and-comment board, not an open-text assessment question.
See the glossary for definitions or assessment categories for workflow differences.
