Methodology: Where AI Meets Expert Judgment.
The science behind the system.
Expert Knowledge, Encoded.
Founder and Chief Scientist, Kyle Mack, designed and built the CultureAgent Foundry — a proprietary agentic AI system that automates the process he developed over 20+ years as an IO psychologist. The system doesn't replace expert judgment; it scales it. Every pipeline, every analysis, every output follows the same validated methodology he developed throughout his career. The difference: what once took months now takes days.
Let's talk →20+ Years Encoded
IO psychology methodology built directly into the AI system
100× the Speed
Same validated process, compressed from months to days
Expert-Built
Designed by the scientists who do the work
Simultaneous Analysis
All cultural artifacts processed in context at once
Tension Detection
Surfaces contradictions between documents humans working sequentially would miss
Pattern Recognition
Extracts cultural dimensions from organizational signals
AI Excels at Synthesis and Automation. Humans Excel at Judgment.
The CultureAgent system ingests organizational documents — value statements, handbooks, promotion guidelines, leadership communications, blog posts — and analyzes them simultaneously. It detects patterns, surfaces tensions between documents, and extracts cultural dimensions that define how your organization actually operates. Then it automates the production of hiring, gap analysis and change management tools. AI does what it does best. Human experts make the decions.
Let's talk →Three Gates. No Output Without Expert Approval.
Speed without structure produces confident nonsense. The CultureAgent Foundry pairs AI speed and computational horsepower with a three-gate review architecture — three points where the system stops and demands human expert approval before continuing. Each gate is a quality checkpoint targeting a different dimension of the work. The architecture exists because the hardest problems in cultural work aren't computational — they're judgmental.
Let's talk →Gate 1 — Dimension Review
AI-extracted cultural dimensions reviewed by our organizational science team for accuracy and psychometric quality
Gate 2 — Item Review
Generated assessment items reviewed for construct validity, fairness, and dimensional alignment
Gate 3 — Content Validation
Client subject matter experts review final instruments for organizational accuracy
SIOP Guidelines
Consistent with Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology personnel selection standards
ITC/ATP Standards
Aligned with International Test Commission and Association of Test Publishers development standards
Testing Standards
Follows the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing
Validated Against Professional Standards
This isn't a black box. The CultureAgent Hire for Culture Fit methodology is consistent with professional best practices established by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, the International Test Commission and Association of Test Publishers, and the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. The Scientific Foundations Paper (see Section 5 below) documents exactly how the AI-assisted approach to hiring for fit maps to established peer-reviewed standards.
Let's talk →The Research Behind CultureAgent
For evaluation-stage prospects who want the full proof points, CultureAgent publishes its scientific methodology. The Scientific Foundations paper documents how the AI-assisted approach maps to professional standards. The CultureAgent Foundry white paper details the platform architecture and the three-gate review process. Our scientists are available for further discussion and to answer any questions you might have.
