How Includology is different
Three ways to find out what is going on. Here is when each one fits.
| Aspect | Pulse tool | Consultancy-led survey | Includology |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it gives you | A quick read on how people feel | A report from a project, often with workshops | A diagnostic of the working environment across six connected lenses |
| Speed | Minutes to set up, often repeated | Weeks or months | Delivered on the platform and repeated each cycle |
| Depth | Light: scores and trends | Depends on the project | Leadership and employee views side by side, with findings you can act on. |
| Recommendations | Usually generic | Written by the consultant | Actions matched to each finding, backed by evidence. |
| Record of decisions | No | In the report | Adjustment Log with timestamps and reasons |
| Repeatable and comparable | Yes, simple trends | Often a one-off | Same measures each cycle |
| Best for | A fast temperature check | Facilitation, training, a tailored project | Understanding causes and tracking change |

A pulse tells you something has changed. It rarely tells you why.
A consultancy project can go deep, but it is usually a one-off and depends on who runs it.
Includology is built to show where leadership and employee views differ, and to turn findings into clear next steps.
A pulse can be the right place to start. Our 10-minute Quick Check is coming soon as a short way in to the full diagnostic. For facilitation, training and employee resource group set-up, we can point you to independent specialists.
Includology is in development. Founding organisations help us test where the framework holds up.
