Rhys lives in Nanaimo with his two kids (aged 7 and 15), spouse, and dog. His free time is spent playing soccer, acting (badly) in his kid's home movies, and kayaking to nearby islands within view of his home office.
With a Ph.D. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, his 17-year career has focused on developing assessments for test publishers and individual clients.

| 3 | Career matching assessments |
| 1 | Residential tenant screening assessment |
To the best of our knowledge, the number and diversity of assessments developed (listed above) is a record. You can only repeat the same inefficient process so many times before feeling compelled to improve it. The below vision is because of the above experience.
Bottleneck: The exorbitant cost of developing & validating quality assessments is the key bottleneck in the psychometric industry. Few companies can afford quality assessments, so the market is dominated by low-quality and pseudoscience ones.
Analogy: Cars were likewise prohibitively expensive when every part had to be custom-built from scratch. Henry Ford solved that problem by introducing standardized parts and assembly lines. Similar solutions can work similar miracles in assessment science, simultaneously increasing quality while reducing costs by orders of magnitude.
Vision: Everyone would benefit if high-quality bespoke assessments could be obtained at or below the cost of generic ones. We exist to make that vision a reality.
