Self-report, clearly labeled
Everything in the first version will come from your own answers. The report will say so, and it will not claim to uncover anything you did not tell it.
Our approach
Groundwise is being built by an industrial-organizational psychologist. Here is the plan, and what we will not do.
- 1
Start from published research
Behaviors and foundations will be defined from peer-reviewed leadership research, not from a framework we invented.
- 2
Write and review questions
Questions will be drafted, then reviewed by people who did not write them, to catch unclear or leading wording.
- 3
Pretest before people see it
Early checks will look for confusing questions and errors in scoring and report logic. These checks do not count as evidence that the tool works.
- 4
Pilot with real supervisors
A human pilot comes before any results are offered. What we learn there decides what we change and what we can say.
- 5
Report honestly
We will describe what evidence exists and what does not. Until then, we make no claims about accuracy or validity.
Privacy first
We will collect only what is needed to produce your report, and we will publish a privacy plan before anyone takes the assessment.
