About the publication

A clearer index for a confused software category

The Scorecard Index separates tools that evaluate people from tools that use a scored diagnostic to attract and qualify prospective clients.

What we cover

The Scorecard Index publishes decision guides about assessment software, scoring methods, result experiences, and the action that follows a respondent's score.

We focus on category clarity. Hiring tests, psychometric instruments, education platforms, and client-facing diagnostics solve different problems, even when vendors use the same word to describe them.

Who this guide serves

Our primary readers are consultants, B2B teams, financial advisors, agencies, business coaches, course creators, recruiters, and people leaders who need to select the right assessment lane before comparing feature lists.

How to read the ranking

Begin with the Built for label. If your job is hiring, use the hiring lane. If the assessment is meant to diagnose a prospective client's situation and create a useful next step, use the attract lane. Product rank never overrides that routing decision.
