Is Atlas a people analytics tool?

It answers a different question. Atlas reads leadership capability against the plan, on its own assessment; it works alongside your HR and analytics systems.

Can Atlas look at the whole organisation, not only the top team?

Yes. Atlas can bring every assessment, survey answer, role and the plan together for one team or for every team in the organisation, on the same model and at the same depth, with experts reviewing the read. You can start with the leadership team and widen from there.

Can't we just ask ChatGPT?

A general AI model has no measured data on your people or your plan. Atlas works from your own assessed data and the plan you upload, and a person makes every decision. You can still connect Atlas to the AI tools you already use.

What does an Execution Forecast tell you?

It is an evidence-based assessment of execution risk: which parts of the plan the current team is best and least placed to deliver, based on the assessment, the Clarity Survey, roles and the plan itself. It shows where risk is highest and what to address first. It is not a prediction of results, and it is updated when the plan, the team or the evidence changes.

What is execution intelligence?

Working out whether a company can do what its plan says, finding where it is most likely to get stuck, and testing what to change, with the evidence behind every conclusion. Atlas People is the execution intelligence company. The full definition is in the Atlas glossary.

How long does Atlas take?

It depends on scope: how many people take part and how much of the plan is shared. Each person spends about 20 to 25 minutes on the assessment and has a one-to-one feedback session, then the team read follows. After that, Atlas updates the read when the plan, the team or the evidence changes.

Can Atlas be used for hiring?

Yes. A Match Report reads a candidate against the role and the team they would join, and Atlas supports high-volume hiring too, with a person making every decision. Atlas is not involved in finding or placing candidates, so its read stays separate from the search.

Atlas is bought through one annual agreement, scoped to the people covered, the leaders using it and the organisational work you need. Pricing is scoped to your organisation; see how Atlas is bought.

Is Atlas designed to align with the EU AI Act?

Atlas is designed to align with the EU AI Act: the human makes the decision, the evidence behind every conclusion is traceable, and people are never ranked.

Where is my data stored?

Customer data is hosted and processed in the EU, and enterprise teams can sign in with SSO / SAML.
