The Costliest Mistakes Start By Trusting the Wrong Signals About People
For Executive Search Firms, Coaches, HR Leaders, Team Builders, Consultants and Growth-Stage Investors.
Interviews, references and outdated assessments don’t cut it.
Now you can make decisions with behavioral data and a custom AI agent that adapts to your context because people are always the X-Factor.
The Wrong Signals lead to the Wrong Decisions And that’s Expensive
You already know the cost of getting it wrong:
- Wasted time. Endless interviews, false starts, do-overs.
- Wasted money. Mis-hires, bad investments, coaching that doesn’t stick.
- Leadership breakdowns. Mismatched leaders derail teams and momentum.
- Culture damage. Dysfunction, disengagement, and costly turnover.
- Reputation risk. Every bad call reflects on you — clients, partners, and boards notice.
- Legal exposure. Wrong hires lead to disputes, liability, or worse.
- Catastrophic failure. Deals collapse. Teams fracture. Sometimes it’s not just expensive — it’s existential.
