Behavioral assessment · not a personality test

Influence isn't a type.
It's a pattern of behavior — and patterns can be measured.

TECCA Core measures how often you actually do the twenty-two behaviors that build influence. Not who you are — what you do. Which means it can change, and you can watch it change.

Other assessments describe you and leave.

TECCA measures what you do, coaches you on it from your own data, and measures whether it changed. They stop at the snapshot. We built the loop.

Reflect · Watch · Act
What it measures

Five Foundations. Twenty-two behaviors. One honest mirror.

Every behavior lands in a zone — and because TECCA measures frequency, not identity, the zone you're in today is a starting position, never a verdict.

How it works

From honest answers to a map you can act on.

01 · Answer honestly
How often you actually do each thing. If something genuinely doesn’t come up in your world, say so — an honest instrument shows a gap rather than inventing a score. Most won’t.
02 · Meet your pattern
Your Power Profile names the archetype your responses align with, maps all twenty-two behaviors into zones, and shows the strongest thing you do — and the edge that’s costing you.
03 · Work the pattern
Watch-fors, micro-habits, and retakes that show measured change — one behavior, one zone, one rep at a time.
04 · Bring it to Sage
At Elite, a coach that opens already knowing your pattern, works the situation you’re in this week, and asks you about it next time.
Eleven influence archetypes

Which pattern is yours?

Your responses align most closely with one of eleven named patterns — each with its signature strength, its blind spot, and how it lands on the people around you. Finding yours is free.

Credible Vanguard™
Trusted. Consistent. Forward-looking.
Trust Builder™
Steady hands. Kept promises.
Influence Catalyst™
Momentum, made contagious.
Clarity Strategist™
Says the thing everyone needed said.
Empathetic Anchor™
The calm the room organizes around.
Your second archetype

Most assessments stop at your strengths. That's where this one starts.

Influence Archetype
How you show up
Credible Vanguard™

The pattern people experience when you’re at your best — drawn from your strongest foundations.

Development Archetype
Where to work first
+
Flat Orator™

The pattern where your thinnest foundations compound — and the watch-fors and reps to work it.

Example archetypes shown. And if your profile doesn't have a real gap, it says that too — TECCA will never invent a weakness to sound insightful.

What you get

A report you'll actually use. A dashboard that keeps up.

Every tier includes a downloadable report — deeper at every step. Paid tiers add a live dashboard that updates every time you retake.

The Power Profile report
Built in three acts — to be used, not filed
Act I
Your profile
Your archetypes, how your behaviors combine, and the reps it points to.
Act II
Your behavior library
The full read on every behavior, organized by foundation. Go to the one you’re working on.
Act III
What happens next
Your next three weeks, laid out.
Your live dashboard
Your whole pattern, in one place

Your composite, all five foundations, all twenty-two behaviors in their zones, and the patterns your results fired. Retake and see exactly what moved — every sitting is kept, so progress is measured, not remembered. How much you see depends on your tier; the sample shows it all.

It doesn't describe you. It coaches you.

One real behavior, one real zone — Understanding Verification, in the Communication foundation, at Developing. Three of the six reads every subdomain carries at every zone.

Reflect
What your answers show

You confirm understanding on the important things, but routine or familiar exchanges tend to move forward unverified. The checking is real and tends to track how high the stakes feel rather than being a default.

Watch
What to notice this week

Watch for the routine exchanges you let move forward unverified. The small gaps start there.

Act
The rep

This week, on one routine exchange, confirm understanding before moving on instead of assuming it.

Illustrative sample, shown at the Developing zone. Your own profile is written from your own responses — twenty-two behaviors, each read in the zone you actually landed in.

Sage Intelligent Coaching System™ · Included with Elite

Your results tell you what you do.
Sage is where it changes.

Most assessments end the same way. You read something true about yourself, you nod, you feel seen for about a week — and then Tuesday happens and you do the exact thing the report said you do.

Sage is the part that doesn't let that slide. It's a coach that shows up already knowing your twenty-two measured behaviors, works the actual situation you're in this week, and asks you about it next time.

The rhythm
STEP 1
It opens on what you owe yourself
Sage starts with the commitment you made last time — by name, by date, by the moment you tied it to. Kept gets credited. Missed gets curiosity, not a lecture.
STEP 2
You bring the situation, not a topic
The person who talks over you. The team that agrees in the room and stalls after it. The thing you need to say to someone senior. Real names, real stakes.
STEP 3
It coaches from your pattern, not the internet's
Your twenty-two measured behaviors, the zone each one sits in, and the patterns your own results fired — connected to what's actually in front of you this week.
STEP 4
You leave with one thing to do
Not a reading list. One action, in your words, attached to the moment it will happen. That last part is why it gets done.

One session is a good conversation. Twelve of them, each one opening on what the last one landed, is how a habit actually moves.

What it does
It notices what you'd rather it didn't
Every commitment gets saved and checked. When the third one involving the same person slips, Sage says so — out loud, without the guilt trip. That's the conversation most coaching never has.
Practise it before it costs you anything
Sage will play the other person — your boss, your counterpart, whoever you're dreading — then step out of it and walk through what just happened with you.
Work on one behavior at a time
Pick something your results put within reach. Sage works it with you at a size your current zone can actually hold, so you're stretched instead of set up to fail.
You set how hard it pushes
How it talks to you, how blunt the feedback lands, how tightly it holds you to your word — your call. One thing never moves: it won't agree with you just to be pleasant.
It remembers, and you own the record
With your permission, Sage carries what you've told it — the people, the history, what you already tried — so month three doesn't start from zero. You can read every line it's holding and delete any of it.
What people actually bring to it
A relationship that keeps grinding
A team that agrees and then stalls
Friction with one specific person
A repair you need to make well
Pushing back on someone senior
Feedback you keep softening
A decision you're carrying alone
A habit that won't stick

Bring whatever's real. Sage works the behavior inside it — the part that's yours to change — and it will tell you plainly when something belongs with a professional instead.

“Isn’t this just a chatbot?”

Ask any AI about leadership and you’ll get a thoughtful answer about leadership. Ask Sage and you get an answer about yours — because it opens already holding your twenty-two measured behaviors, the zone each one sits in, and every session you’ve had with it.

It also can’t browse the web, can’t make up a number that isn’t in your results, and won’t tell you you’re improving because you sound like you are.

Built like real coaching
Sessions run different shapes depending on what you bring — a goal to hit, a pattern to work, a response you want to change. You never see the machinery.
Held to a professional standard
Sage is built to coach to the ICF Professional Certified Coach competencies. It coaches to that standard and claims no credential of its own.
Grounded, not improvised
What it says comes from the same reviewed content library as your report. No web access, no invented figures — if a number isn't in your results, it doesn't exist for Sage.

$69 is under a quarter of what one hour with a human coach costs — and it's a month of Sage, not one hour of it. A good human coach is worth every cent of $297; Sage isn’t one. What it is: available at 11pm the night before the conversation you’re dreading, and it never forgets what you said last time.

1 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study — average fee for a one-hour session in North America, across all coaching types (global average $234). Executive specialists commonly run $200–$600 an hour. Shown to compare what the alternative costs, not to suggest Sage replaces a human coach.

Sage is an AI coach grounded in your assessment results. It is not a human, not a therapist, and not a substitute for either. It does not diagnose, treat, or counsel, it is not for crisis support, and nothing it produces may be used for hiring, promotion, or pay decisions. The same disclosure appears in the product before your first session.

Coming soonTECCA 360

You rated yourself. Now find out if they agree.

TECCA 360 asks the people around you — the person you report to, your peers, and the people who report to you — about the behaviors you answered for yourself. The gap between their answers and yours is the report.

Blind spot
You rate it higher than they do.
You
Them
The behavior you believe is landing, and isn’t.
Hidden strength
They rate it higher than you do.
You
Them
Something you undersell that the people around you already count on.
Audience shift
Different people, different you.
Up
Peers
Team
Your boss, your peers and your team describe you differently — and now you can see where.

Illustrative bars, not real results.

Most 360s tell you what people think of you. This one tells you whether you're the same person to all of them.

One of your twenty-two behaviors already asks whether who's in the room changes your response. A 360 split by who's answering is the only way to check that against the people who are actually in the room.

Get your baseline ready now

Your 360 compares against your own self-assessment. Take yours today and your baseline is waiting the day 360 opens.

Start with your self-assessment

Raters stay anonymous, and a rater group only reports once enough people have answered. A difference between groups shows where people experience you differently — visibility, relationship and context all play a part. It's a map for a conversation, not a verdict.

The science

Built like an instrument, not a quiz.

Frequency, not identity
Every item asks how often you actually did something in the past 90 days — not what kind of person you think you are.
It checks its own answers
Built-in response-quality checks catch rushed or inconsistent answering, so a careless sitting doesn’t pass as a real one.
Every read is reviewed
Each read in your report is written for the zone you land in and reviewed before it ships. None of it is generated on the fly.
Honest about its status
TECCA is pre-validation. We say measured, never validated — the validation study is designed, and its results get published either way.

DK

"Twenty-nine years leading people through the hardest days of their careers taught me one thing: when everything's on the line, nobody cares what type you are. They watch what you do. TECCA measures the only thing I ever saw actually move people — behavior, counted honestly."

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is this a personality test?

No. Personality instruments type who you are; TECCA measures how often you do specific observable behaviors. Types feel permanent. Behavior frequencies change — which is the point.

How long does it take?

Plan on 30–40 minutes — our estimate until we publish the measured median. It’s 132 items, and your dashboard is ready the moment you finish. Serious measurement takes longer than a quiz; that’s the point.

What if a behavior doesn’t apply to my life?

Say so. TECCA treats "does not occur" as honest information, and if too much of an area is unobserved it shows you a gap instead of inventing a score. Most assessments won’t do that.

Can I retake it?

Yes — you can retake every 30 days. Your history view shows how each behavior moved between takes. Measured change is the product.

Is this validated?

Not yet — the instrument is pre-validation, and we say so plainly. What exists today: a published framework, item development traceable to cited literature, and automated scoring certification on every release. What is designed and not yet run: the validation program, built so each analysis plan is frozen before the data is seen, with results published either way. Until that work is done we say measured, never validated. No assessment should ask for your trust without showing which of the two it has earned.

Who sees my results?

Your individual results belong to you. They’re never sold, and never used for hiring or personnel decisions. In team programs, only aggregated, de-identified views exist — and only through Elite Leadership Center. Export everything or delete your account from Settings, anytime.

Is this clinical or diagnostic?

No. TECCA is a behavioral development instrument — not a clinical tool, not therapy, and not for employment selection decisions.

The mirror is free.
What you do with it is the work.
