SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Culture Index survey results are difficult to interpret correctly: trait values are relative to a moving population arrow, Survey and Job graphs must be compared to detect burnout, and misreading profiles leads to poor hiring and management decisions. This Skill provides structured interpretation workflows grounded in CI methodology. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Profile Interpretation: Analyze individual CI profiles using relative distance-from-arrow logic, archetype identification, and strength/challenge summaries. - Team & Hiring Workflows: Assess team composition with the Gas/Brake/Glue framework, define hiring profiles, coach managers, plan onboarding, and mediate conflicts. - Burnout Detection: Compare Survey vs Job graphs and calculate Energy Utilization to flag stress (>130%) or frustration (<70%) risks. - Use Case: A manager receives a direct report's CI PDF. The Skill extracts trait data via the OpenCV-based script, identifies the archetype, compares Survey vs Job for burnout signals, and produces coaching recommendations. ## Quick Start Interpret this Culture Index profile PDF and tell me the person's archetype, key strengths, and any burnout risks.

Frequently Asked Questions about interpreting-culture-index

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I interpret a Culture Index profile?

Interpret Culture Index profiles by measuring each trait's distance from the red arrow (population mean), not absolute values. Distances of ±2 centiles indicate pronounced traits; ±4 or more indicates hardwired extremes. Always compare Survey traits against Job behaviors.

How to extract trait data from a Culture Index PDF?

Run the included extraction script with uv: uv run scripts/extract_pdf.py --verify file.pdf output.json. Visual estimation has a 20-30% error rate and must not be used. If uv is unavailable, install it first rather than falling back to vision.

What is the Gas Brake Glue framework in team analysis?

Gas/Brake/Glue categorizes team members by dominant traits: High A provides Gas (growth and risk-taking), High D provides Brake (quality control), and High B provides Glue (culture and morale). Balanced teams need all three in proportions matching the business season.

Can Culture Index detect employee burnout?

Yes, by comparing Survey vs Job graphs and calculating Energy Utilization: (Job EU / Survey EU) × 100. Values above 130% indicate stress and burnout risk; below 70% indicates frustration and flight risk. Sustained behavior modification over 3-6 months drains energy.

When should Culture Index not be used for decisions?

Culture Index should not be the sole basis for hiring or firing decisions, and it does not apply to non-CI assessments like DISC or Myers-Briggs. It measures behavioral traits only, not skills, intelligence, values, or motivation.
