Know who's ready — before you need them.

Succession planning that starts with your people, not your org chart. Talent Readiness builds the bench from the ground up — so your people feel seen, and the org's real risks finally surface.

The problem

Most succession planning is done top-down, once a year, in a room your people never enter. It produces a chart, not readiness — and the people it's about are treated like boxes to be moved. Meanwhile the roles that would hurt most to lose have no one ready behind them, and no one notices until a resignation lands on your desk.

What you get

Talent Readiness is one system in four parts — starting with the part that serves your people. It opens by learning who each person naturally is, then what they want and bring, and only then rates fit and risk. Each module feeds the next, and all four are running today.

The Elements EvaluationFor the employee
Onboarding opens with the Crucible Elements Evaluation — a work-styles profile of six natural elements, anchored to established occupational research. No good or bad profiles, no passing score: every composition carries real strengths. Your people see their own results first, always.
The ProvingFor the employee
A themed review that captures what your people actually want: their desired career path, an honest read on strengths and gaps, a skills assessment, and development actions that are assigned, tracked, and held to account. This is the surface where your people feel seen.
The Fit EngineFor both
Readiness ratings built on real measurement: each person's element profile against a documented role profile, alongside manager-finalized competencies. The platform surfaces the fit; your managers decide what it means — never an automated verdict.
The Org Risk MapFor the employer
An interactive org chart that lights up the positions with no one ready behind them — your key-person risk, made visible before a resignation makes it urgent.

What it costs

Priced per activated employee — someone who has taken their Elements evaluation or started a Proving. Invite your whole organization; the people who haven't engaged yet cost nothing. Three tiers, a 21-day trial, and advisory when you want it.

Essentials7 per activated employee / month: Teams who want the assessment and a culture of recognition, without a formal review cycle.
Professional13 per activated employee / month: The mid-market HR leader running real performance and development cycles.
Enterprise22 per activated employee / month: Regulated, safety-critical and compliance-driven organizations.

Before you decide anything with it

Results start developmental: they belong to the person and to the conversation with their manager, and the product runs that way indefinitely — nothing expires, degrades, or pushes you further. Using them to inform a hiring or promotion decision is a further, deliberate step with its own record — the note is at gocruciblegroup.com/services/talent-readiness/graduation, and it is the one to forward when someone asks the hard version of this question.

Judgment, compounded.
