Current platform capabilities

Bearing supports end-to-end leadership assessment cycles from participant input to action planning and validation. Enterprise mode adds project-level administration and organization analytics overlays.

  1. 1) Assessment launch (360/180)
    Launch surveys, configure context, and collect rater-group signals with confidentiality controls.
  2. 2) Methodology-aware reporting
    Classic, Challenger, and Hybrid logic can shape measurement and interpretation patterns.
  3. 3) Competency overlay (enterprise)
    Company competency models can be mapped to dimensions and shown as report overlays.
  4. 4) Follow-up validation
    Track action topics on the board and validate shifts via pulse checkups.
  5. 5) Enterprise HCE token mode
    High-confidential launches can run with group-scoped tokens instead of participant email lists.
  6. 6) Organization heatmap and benchmark overlays
    Enterprise analytics supports leader-level heatmap views with organization and market benchmark modes.
  7. 7) IDP workflow from analytics context
    Development plans can be generated from enterprise analytics context and follow-up board signals.

ReleaseEnterpriseHCEAuthStability

Enterprise lifecycle and HCE release hardening

Completed a full pre-production hardening pass: enterprise setup flow, HCE token lifecycle, and runtime auth/data paths were stabilized end-to-end.

  • Validated enterprise setup path from access and project setup through survey, invitations, summary, analytics, and follow-up.
  • Added high-confidential HCE token flow coverage from token generation to summary/report outcomes.
  • Moved hot runtime paths to canonical response readers to avoid legacy data fallbacks.
  • Standardized runtime auth route behavior through shared server auth helpers.
  • Extended local seed and test contours for enterprise, methodology demos, and HCE.
  • Executed unit, integration, and browser E2E validation on seeded local instance before release.

Participant UXEnterpriseCompetencies

Participant UX upgrade and enterprise competency behavior anchors

Survey completion flow is clearer for participants, and enterprise competency overlays now support explicit behavior examples.

  • Participant survey now supports optional behavior examples per question to align interpretation before scoring.
  • Participant intro sequence now clarifies confidentiality and practical completion rules.
  • Summary next-step output now groups recommendations into Start / Stop / Continue.
  • Enterprise competency model upload/preview supports a separate behavior example field per competency.

EnterpriseIDPUX

Enterprise UX v2: summary/report, org analytics, and IDP improvements

Large enterprise release across summary/report flows, organization analytics, IDP generation, and project-admin access behavior.

  • Summary and report layouts were unified for clearer action hierarchy and review flow.
  • Organization heatmap now supports deeper drill-down by selected leader.
  • IDP generation now uses follow-up board context when available and org context as fallback.
  • Project admin access behavior expanded for enterprise survey visibility controls.

EnterpriseCompetenciesFollow-up

Enterprise competency overlay + follow-up pulse loop

Bearing keeps canonical dimension scoring while showing results in your competency model language and validating changes with pulse checks.

  • Upload competency model (CSV/XLSX/JSON) and map it to dimensions through weights.
  • Summary/report can show competency overlays with rater-group splits.
  • Follow-up board supports validation topics and pulse response aggregation by topic.
