HOW APRICOT WORKS
How ApriCOT Works
Two AI-powered assessment tools. One AI Coach. One goal: measuring leadership potential with precision, not guesswork.
OVERVIEW
ApriCOT operates through two core assessment frameworks — each built to evaluate leadership competencies through a different lens.

Apri-Coach then takes on the role of training, assessing, and forming a continuous feedback loop that curates individualized Growth Plan (MGP) in skills that require work.
AI ROLE-PLAY
40 MINUTES
AI Role-Play
Live, chat-based conversation. AI plays the role of an assessor. Draws from 120+ leadership competencies across three clusters: Steering Self, Leading Others, Managing Business. Measures across seven proficiency levels. Removes human subjectivity and bias from the equation — every response is evaluated on the same criteria, every time. What you get: an actionable report on strengths and development areas, mapped to the competencies assessed.

AI IN-BASKET
90 MINUTES
AI In-Basket
Simulated inbox environment. Participants prioritize tasks, respond to emails, delegate work, and make time-critical calls — while AI observes behavioural and performance indicators throughout. Evaluates task prioritization, delegation, team productivity management, analytical thinking. Designed to feel game-like and engaging rather than a test — while still collecting consistent, objective data behind the scenes. What you get: a detailed analysis of competency levels and growth areas per participant.

APRI-COACH
Apri-Coach — From Assessment to Development
Assessment alone isn't the finish line.
CHROs consistently raise the same problem: turning assessment insights into real, sustained development is hard. Individual coaching works, but it's expensive to scale. Development plans often end up as static documents. Managers rarely have the bandwidth to support growth continuously. Apri-Coach closes that gap. Every participant leaves with more than a report.
- A personalized development plan (MGP) built around their specific strengths and growth areas.
- An AI-powered competency coach for ongoing practice, reflection, and feedback — available on demand, not just during scheduled coaching sessions.
The shift: from measuring leadership potential to building leadership capability — scalable, consistent, and personalized to each leader.
WHAT YOU GET
Actionable Reports
Every assessment — Role-Play or In-Basket — ends in a comprehensive report: competency scores, strengths, development areas, and actionable recommendations. Reports also run through a plagiarism check, so what you're reading reflects the participant's own responses.
