ArcFinder is a performance analytics product designed to help leaders understand why performance varies and what to change to improve it. It uses a structured questionnaire and reporting framework to surface the behaviours, motivations, and working patterns that shape performance across individuals, teams, departments, and organisations. The aim is simple: to make clear what is driving results, what is getting in the way, and what needs to shift to improve performance over time.
At its core, ArcFinder runs a focused assessment that captures how people understand goals and values, what motivates their actions, how they work day to day, and how these behaviours translate into outcomes. The platform turns this information into clear performance arc profiles. Leaders can see where momentum is building, where it has stalled, and where effort is being spent without meaningful return. It also highlights the cultural dynamics that influence delivery. The result is practical, prioritised insight that points directly to the most valuable opportunities for improving performance.
ArcFinder measures a consistent set of capabilities that influence performance in any organisation. These include clarity of expectations, initiative, accountability, collaboration, decision-making, and how time is actually used. The model also distinguishes between what is formally defined, what is accurate in practice, what is assumed without evidence, and what is unclear or missing altogether. This helps leaders move beyond surface narratives and understand the real mechanics shaping performance—revealing the patterns that form performance arcs.
The product can be used in two complementary ways. Individual assessments provide participants with a personal performance arc profile, outlining motivational drivers, behavioural tendencies, and likely strengths or risks in execution. Organisational assessments give leaders a collective view of cultural patterns, team dynamics, and systemic blockers. Used together, these views show how individual behaviour rolls up into team and organisational performance, and how multiple individual arcs combine into broader trajectories.
ArcFinder is designed for leaders, HR teams, and operational managers who need reliable visibility into performance, want early signals of emerging risk, or are preparing for change. Common use cases include improving team alignment, diagnosing inconsistent execution, strengthening leadership capability, supporting strategic change, and establishing a clear baseline for performance improvement. It is particularly useful for fast-growing organisations that need clarity as complexity increases.
The assessment process is deliberately low friction. The standard questionnaire includes 36 questions and typically takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. ArcFinder can be applied across entire organisations, specific departments, leadership groups, or representative samples. For established teams, it also shows how individual relationships combine into an emergent culture, and how that culture affects results.
Once data collection is complete, ArcFinder produces reports and dashboard views at the appropriate level of detail. Individual reports are usually available within one working day. Organisational and departmental reports are typically delivered within a week, depending on scope. Leaders are then supported in interpreting the findings so insights translate into focused action, not just awareness. The product highlights high-impact areas first, helping teams prioritise changes that will deliver measurable improvement.
In practical terms, ArcFinder treats performance as something that evolves over time rather than a static snapshot. It gives leaders clear, objective insight into how work actually happens, where performance is leaking, and what to address next. The outcome is fewer surprises, better alignment, more targeted interventions, and more consistent performance across the organisation. This all to help leaders focus on what really matters: how performance forms, how it shifts, and how it can be strengthened.
