Most of our work runs on proven instruments and standard reporting. Some questions need more: a custom scoring model, a report written for a specific decision, or a complete assessment product operating under someone else's brand.
That is the Studio's craft side. We design and build assessment engines, from the psychometric model through to the reports and dashboards people actually read.
And unlike our distribution work, which is rooted in BeNeLux and DACH, bespoke work travels anywhere. Recent projects span from the Netherlands to South Africa.
A two page verdict on leadership potential. Cognitive capacity, the nine facet agility profile, derailer risk and development priorities, written for the decision in front of you.
Pool level views of strength and risk across a team, a function or a whole organisation. Built for talent reviews and succession boards.
Your competency framework, mapped against assessment scores. Candidates benchmarked against the role you are filling, not a generic model.
Objective capability data when organisations merge or change shape. Who carries the new structure, where the gaps sit, and what the integration risk really is.
A complete assessment product under your brand. We build and run the engine, you own the client relationship. See the case study below.
Deterministic reporting systems with every line authored by occupational psychologists. Same input, same output, every time. Built for EU AI Act and GDPR Article 22 scrutiny.
The clearest way to show what bespoke means is to show you one. Here is a white label platform we designed, built and operate, sold under our client's name.
Hydrogen Group and Argyll Scott wanted to offer clients an answer to a question every leadership team is asking: when the work keeps changing, who can grow with it? They needed a defensible learning agility product they could sell under their own brand, without building a psychometrics function in house.
The engine is deterministic, with no generative AI in the data path. The same input produces the same output every time, and every claim in every report traces back to its source. That is what makes it ready for EU AI Act and GDPR Article 22 scrutiny, and it is the standard we build every engine to.
