The Market Reality

Everyone knows the people
are the risk. No one reads them.

Financials, market, and operations get rigorous diligence. The people, the single variable most likely to make or break the return, get a reference check and a gut call. QDOT reads them forensically and produces a defensible, actionable conclusion that holds up to a board, an investor, or in discovery. The data below is documented. The question is whether you read it before you commit, not after.

60%
of U.S. workers lack quality jobs
Only 40% of American workers hold positions that meet minimum thresholds for financial well-being, workplace safety, growth opportunity, decision-making voice, and schedule stability.
Gallup American Job Quality Study, 2025 — 18,429 workers surveyed
87%
say businesses can improve lives — only 60% say they do
Americans overwhelmingly believe businesses have the power to positively impact people's lives. But a 27-point gap exists between that belief and perceived performance. The people behind any deal feel the same gap.
Gallup / Bentley University Business in Society Survey, 2025
25%
of employees see zero path to advancement
One in four employees report their organization offers no promotion or advancement opportunities. When people cannot see a future, they build one somewhere else — on your dime.
Gallup American Job Quality Study, 2025
29%
of U.S. employees are struggling financially
Nearly three in ten employees say they are just getting by or finding it difficult to manage financially. Financial stress drives disengagement, turnover, and performance decline — costing employers billions annually.
Gallup American Job Quality Study, 2025
45%
of Gen Z are thriving — the lowest in three years
Your next generation of talent is entering the workforce at the lowest measured life satisfaction since tracking began. Gen Z adults are 10 points less likely to be thriving than older generations. The pipeline is struggling before it even arrives.
Gallup / Walton Family Foundation Voices of Gen Z, 2025 — 3,800 respondents
55%
of employees have limited input on decisions that affect them
More than half of workers report they lack meaningful influence over technology adoption, working conditions, and compensation decisions. Voiceless employees disengage. Disengaged employees leave.
Gallup American Job Quality Study, 2025

Every one of these data points represents a behavioral signal. REMI reads them. Predicts them. Tells you exactly what to do about them — before the cost hits your P&L.

The QDOT Methodology, Powered by REMI

How QDOT
works

QDOT's methodology turns behavioral science into defensible decisions. What the principal sees is four phases, from analysis to action. Underneath sits a 7-stage operating engine, run through REMI, that makes the read actionable in real time.

01

Assess

Deploy TriMetrix HD, the most comprehensive behavioral assessment in the TTI Success Insights portfolio. Simultaneously measures behaviors, driving forces, emotional intelligence, and acumen. A single instrument. Four dimensions. No gaps.

02

Analyze

REMI cross-references results across multiple validated behavioral frameworks simultaneously, surfacing patterns that single-framework tools cannot see. The invisible gaps your current approach is missing are shaping decisions every day.

03

Predict

Identify execution risk, leadership readiness, team friction, and performance trajectory before they become expensive problems. REMI operates in real time. Not retrospective reports that arrive after the decision is made.

04

Act

Receive actionable guidance. Not raw data. REMI tells you exactly what to do, when, and why. Interview focus. First-90-day priorities. Execution risk. Retention strategy. Documented for accountability. Defensible at the board level.

What QDOT + REMI Make Obvious

One decision
brought you here.
This is what else we surface.

01

See execution risk.
Before you commit.

Execution risk is behavioral. REMI reads it before the decision is made, when you still have the leverage to act on it.

Documented: $4.5M profit swing through behavioral realignment
02

Back who can execute.
Not who interviews well.

A confident interview is not an execution plan. REMI identifies who has the behavioral profile to deliver the thesis, and where the gaps are before you back them.

Documented: leadership teams built for execution, not optics
03

Read the room.
Before you sit down.

Stop reading people on instinct. REMI benchmarks every key individual against a validated behavioral profile and tells you exactly where the risk sits before you negotiate, invest, or appoint.

Validated behavioral science: up to 75% reduction in turnover
04

Decisions that
defend themselves.

Every REMI conclusion is evidence-based and documented. Defend the call to the board, to counsel, to your LPs, with the full weight of data behind every line.

Validated behavioral science: 940% ROI documented in a call center transformation

I have been using REMI for the past six months, and it has provided valuable insight into behavioral factors that I likely would not have recognized on my own. The platform has been especially impactful in the hiring process, helping me better understand how and why candidates respond to interview questions the way they do. REMI makes it much easier to interpret those responses, identify underlying behavioral traits, and ultimately make more informed hiring decisions. It has become a very useful tool in evaluating candidate fit and improving the quality of our hiring process. I would highly recommend REMI for your organization.

What decision makers
actually ask us

Those tools tell you what. REMI tells you what to do about it. They give you a behavioral profile. REMI takes that profile, cross-references it across multiple validated frameworks, and delivers an actionable, defensible conclusion. They are not competing approaches. REMI is what makes your existing data actionable.

Most organizations see first measurable outcomes within 60 to 90 days. The ONA engagement typically produces a prioritized action plan within 30 days of kickoff. Our documented client results include $2.2M in recovered margin within 12 months (manufacturing), 75% turnover reduction within 2 years (retail), and 940% ROI within 12 months (call center). Each result is from a separate client engagement. Timeline depends on your starting point, which is exactly what the ONA is designed to establish.

No. REMI integrates with what you have. It does not rip and replace. Your HRIS, your ATS, your existing performance data all become inputs. REMI is the intelligence layer on top of those systems that turns your existing data into decisions. Think of it as the operating system for your people decisions, not another platform to manage.

A consultant gives you a report. A coach gives you frameworks. REMI gives you answers. In real time, on demand, and documented for accountability. One consultant can support one team. REMI supports your entire organization, continuously, and produces board-grade documentation every time. We built it because we were the consultant for 30 years, and we saw what happened when organizations needed that intelligence at 3am on a Sunday before a Monday announcement.

That is exactly what it was built for. Every REMI recommendation is generated from TTI Success Insights assessment science, the same validated methodology used by 10,000+ organizations in 100+ countries. The output is evidence-based, documented, and traceable. We have stood in front of Delta Air Lines leadership and the U.S. Marine Corps with this data. Your CFO will appreciate it.

The Organizational Needs Analysis is our structured entry point: a real engagement that produces a defensible, actionable read you can act on immediately. Pricing is tailored to the scope, the subjects, and the decision in front of you. Most principals who start with the ONA move into a full retained engagement, because the gap between their current view and what REMI reveals is impossible to ignore.
