Our Methodology
Structured evidence, not a black box.
Most AI assessment tools are a generic language model wrapped around a prompt. Sophiris is not. The frameworks behind every diagnostic are our own — built from two decades of executive coaching practice and grounded in ICF-certified methodology, not borrowed from off-the-shelf personality models.
Every question, scenario, and dimension was designed by a practising, ICF-certified executive coach — built from two decades of practice, not borrowed from off-the-shelf personality models. The situational format is deliberate: it reads behaviour under pressure, where self-report questionnaires read aspiration.
The model does not free-associate about your answers. It analyses your responses against our defined frameworks — the same rubrics a coach would apply, run consistently every time. The intelligence is in the framework; the AI applies it at speed and scale.
The tools describe what the evidence shows and surface the questions worth asking. They do not forecast success, score people for hiring, or issue a recommendation. A human always makes the decision — the platform makes sure it is an informed one. That discipline is what makes the output trustworthy where the stakes are real.
Outputs are reproducible — the same responses produce the same read, not a different answer each time. The methodology has been formally verified and validated, and every figure in a report traces to its source. No invented benchmarks, no proprietary score to take on faith.
Sophiris is a structured evidence tool for leadership decisions — not a clinical instrument, and not a substitute for the decades of peer-reviewed norming behind formal psychometric selection tests. It is built for a different job: fast, rigorous, decision-focused evidence, with a human — and, where you want it, an ICF-certified coach — in the loop.
