Wave types

Choose a collection-round label for training, coaching, follow-up, or a standalone assessment.

A wave type identifies the purpose of a round. It does not automatically shorten the assessment, schedule repeated delivery, or create benchmark norms.

Type	Use it for
Pre-training	A baseline before training.
During training	A measurement during the programme.
Post-training	A measurement after training.
Training follow-up	A later review after the programme.
Pre-coaching	A baseline before coaching.
Coaching check-in	A measurement during coaching.
Post-coaching	A measurement after coaching.
Coaching follow-up	A later review after coaching.
Pulse / check-in	An ordinary check-in round.
Standalone	A one-off round.
Benchmark	A round intended as a reference.
Other	A purpose not covered by the other labels.

Matched cohort impact currently uses Pre-training and Post-training waves with scored participants in common. Other labels do not automatically enter that calculation.

The 360 wave selector excludes Pulse / check-in. Use the dedicated Pulse workflow for 360 follow-ups with focus areas, raters, and saved comparison results.
