Sample report
Actionable Insights Delivered with Every Assessment
Using Career Exploration as an example: the report opens with an executive summary of your core orientation, followed by three directional hypotheses detailing evidentiary backing, areas for cross-validation, and practical work samples you can finish in a week or two.
This is a sample. Your report is written from your own answers.
Pick a topic to startYou do your best work when the idea is yours and people actually use what you build.
Patterns so farWhen you talk about work you enjoyed, you keep coming back to “my idea” and “whether anyone uses it”. When ranking work conditions, you put choosing your own approach near the top.
-
Product planning for internal tools
Work sample to gather evidencePick a tedious process your coworkers often bring up and write a one-page proposal: what it fixes and how you would tell it worked.See what you said“That internal tool last year was my idea.”Still to cross-checkWhether you enjoy pitching the idea or building the thing more. So far the clues weigh about the same on both sides.
-
User research and feedback analysis
Work sample to gather evidenceTalk with three coworkers who use that internal tool for 15 minutes each, then write a one-page feedback summary.See what you said“I’m never sure anyone uses what I build.”Still to cross-checkHow several days of interviews and note sorting feel to you. That shows once you have actually done it.

Core Principles of Guided Inquiry
Inside the assessment, AI progressively advances the scenario based on your responses, systematically structuring thought patterns while exploring one core question at a time.
Context-First Exploration
Begin by articulating your general background and current state. The system identifies known signals and information gaps before framing targeted inquiries.
Revealing Trade-offs
Underlying motives often surface most clearly through choices. The system presents pairwise dilemmas to determine your decision priorities. The AI writes these options on the spot too; the few options that check knowledge tell you so before you answer.
Iterative Calibration
Each stage distills essential observations and bridges them into the next, progressively refining the inquiry to fit your precise reality.
Findings in your report trace directly back to verified dialogue
All assessment scenarios are dynamically generated from your responses, and directional recommendations include direct conversational evidence. Every inference remains completely auditable and transparent, keeping you in full command of the conclusions.
During an assessment, the AI works only from this conversation.
The Complete Assessment Journey
All three topics feature six core stages. The system dynamically generates scenarios from previous answers, synthesizes key behavioral signals, and weaves them into an actionable assessment report.
-
01
Select Assessment Focus
Choose the topic that best matches your current challenge and respond based on authentic workplace experience.
-
02
Dynamic Scenario Navigation
Each stage integrates approach choices, priority ranking, and open dialogue, dynamically calibrated to your ongoing responses.
-
03
Continuous Behavioral Synthesis
The system captures salient behavioral signals and areas requiring clarification to guide subsequent exploration.
-
04
Generate Verified Report
Every directional recommendation includes conversational evidence, validation criteria, and a concrete testing task. Where clues are still building, the report marks it clearly. All observations sync to your Personal Development Profile.
Assessment Architecture & Evidence Engine
Every topic is anchored by a standardized competency framework. While scenarios adapt dynamically to your answers, evaluation criteria remain fixed and consistent, and every quote cited in the report is first checked against the transcript by a second AI.
You mentioned switching tracks. What makes you think about it?
I don’t dislike my job. Most projects are just assigned to me, and I’m never sure anyone uses what I build.
Mentioned firstYou don’t dislike your job
Your words“assigned to me”, “anyone uses it”
The next question builds on these words
You ask AI to summarize meeting notes. What do you do first with the draft?
Check whether it missed any key points.
How do you check whether it missed anything?
I compare it with my own notes and go through the action items one by one.
That’s enough for this stage
Heard last stageWhen you delegate, you first explain what counts as done.

Sets a clear standard for done when delegating Grounded“I tell them up front what counts as finished.”

Prefers to finish work alone rather than hand it off Set asideNothing in the transcript says this
Only notes that pass the check go into the report

Good moments for a session
It works best while you are still sorting things out, before a decision.
Navigating Pivotal Career Decisions
Evaluate track transitions, management promotions, or human-AI division of labor with structured clarity.
Seeking Evidence-Backed Diagnosis
Move beyond simplistic typology tags or generalized scores with an analysis rooted entirely in your authentic context.
Surfacing Implicit Patterns
Articulating thoughts aloud exposes unseen patterns. The system mirrors recurring themes to help you recognize behavioral habits.
Questions People Ask
What is Compass?
Compass is the ArchCross AI assessment center. You answer in your own words, an AI coach asks follow-up questions to help you sort out your thoughts and what matters to you, and at the end you get an analysis report.
How is Compass different from a typical test?
A typical test draws from a fixed question bank and has you pick from fixed options. In Compass, AI writes each next question on the spot from your earlier answers. You can explain your reasons, and the AI follows up on what you said.
Who is Compass for?
Compass is for people thinking through career direction, a role change, a first job, or a field of study. It also fits new managers who just took over a team, and people at work who want to take stock of how they work with AI. Check the assessment list on the page for what is currently open.
How do I know the report is grounded in what I said?
After each stage, a separate AI checks the coach's observations one by one against the conversation transcript, and only observations that trace back to your words go into the report.
Direction cards in the report include your own words; click a card to see them. Where a direction is still gathering clues, the report says so.
Who makes the final choice?
You do. Compass lays out the directions it sees and things you can try first. You can try one or two of them, then choose based on how they actually felt and how they fit your life.
How are my assessment results used?
Results are used only for your own development. They are saved to your personal development profile, and later practice and recommendations draw on them. Every observation in the profile is visible to you, and you can confirm, dispute, or hide any of them.
During an assessment, the AI makes its judgments only from that session's conversation.
Gain Clarity on Your Next Strategic Step
Select the topic closest to your present challenge to begin. Following the assessment, the system maps targeted practice scenarios in Studio based on your diagnostic results to support continuous, deliberate improvement. Practice starts only after you confirm, and you can choose a different direction instead.
