About Esperto

What is Esperto?

Esperto is a one-stop-shop for business assessments. We bring validated assessments from leading experts together on one platform, so coaches and consultants can deploy them with their clients without juggling multiple vendors, subscriptions or systems. You bring the client relationship and the strategy; Esperto runs the assessment engine, the reports and the delivery.

Who is Esperto for?

Business coaches, consultants and advisors who want to bring evidence into their client work, and the organizations they serve. More than 500 professional coaches use Esperto to deploy leadership, team and culture assessments on a simple pay-as-you-go basis.

Which assessments does Esperto offer?

The portfolio includes the Scaling Up Assessment and related tools from Verne Harnish's methodology, Trust Edge by David Horsager, The 5 States of Success by Brendan Foley, Pathfinder by Bill Isaacs, the Enneagram Assessment and the WIN-scan for work happiness. The portfolio is curated and keeps growing; see the full overview on the assessments page.

How is Esperto different from other assessment platforms?

Esperto is curated, not self-service. Every assessment on the platform is built together with the expert who owns the methodology, so you deploy the real instrument rather than a look-alike. And there are no platform subscriptions or per-seat licenses; you pay per assessment.

For assessment owners & experts

I own an assessment methodology. Can Esperto turn it into an online assessment?

Yes. This is our Build Together Grow Together partnership model: you keep full ownership of your methodology, and Esperto builds and runs the platform side, from questionnaire engine and scoring to report delivery and payments. Book a discovery call to explore whether your methodology is a fit.

How does the partnership process work?

Every partnership follows our Discover, Develop, Deliver process. In Discover we dive into your methodology and goals and map the roadmap. In Develop we co-create the assessment: you bring the content and logic, Esperto builds the engine, scoring and reports. In Deliver we publish and run it, so your instrument reaches clients worldwide. Read more on the Discover, Develop, Deliver page.

Do I need to be technical to bring my assessment to Esperto?

No. You bring the methodology: the questions, the scoring rules and what the report should say. Esperto handles the full technical build and operation, from questionnaire engine to report delivery, hosting and support. You focus on your model; we do the rest.

What can the Esperto platform do with my methodology?

More than run a questionnaire. The platform supports multi-respondent logic with automatic aggregation into team and organizational reports, dynamic report text based on score combinations, PDF and HTML report delivery, and automated participant intake, invitations, reminders and payments.

Can the coaches in my network use my assessment?

Yes. Coaches get access on a pay-as-you-go basis, and that access can be tied to your certification program, so only coaches you have certified can deploy your instrument. This is how your methodology scales without you delivering every engagement yourself.

Who owns the intellectual property and the data?

You do. As the expert you keep ownership of your questionnaire content, scoring logic, report logic and client data. Esperto owns the platform, infrastructure and user experience. This split is fixed in every partnership agreement.

Working with Esperto

How does deploying an assessment with a client work?

You get full access to the platform: you set up the campaign yourself, add your participants, and the engine sends the invitations and reminders automatically. Responses are scored automatically and the report is delivered to you or directly to your client. For team and 360 assessments, individual responses are aggregated into team and organizational reports automatically.

Do I need to be certified to use the assessments?

It varies per assessment. Some, like Pathfinder, are deployed by certified coaches; many others, like the Enneagram Assessment, can be deployed directly with no certification required. Every assessment page states whether certification is required, recommended or not needed.

Can I use Esperto assessments under my own brand?

Yes. Assessments are delivered as part of your own engagement, so your client experiences your practice rather than a third-party tool. We set this up together during onboarding.

In which languages are assessments available?

The Esperto platform supports 34 languages. Availability varies per assessment; most are available in English, and additional languages can usually be arranged on request. If you need a specific language for a client, just ask.

Can I combine multiple assessments in one engagement?

Yes, that is the point of a one-stop-shop. Coaches combine, for example, an individual leadership assessment with a team or culture measurement, all through one platform. Your client sees their reports in one portal, across assessments.

Pricing

How does pricing work?

Pay-as-you-go: you pay a partner rate per assessment, with no platform subscription and no per-seat licenses. Rates vary per assessment and volume; specifics are shared on a discovery call.

What is my margin as a coach or consultant?

You pay the Esperto partner rate and charge your client what fits the value of your engagement. The difference is your margin. Volume pricing and bundled programs are available for coaches who deploy assessments regularly.

Privacy & data

How are privacy and data handled?

Data is hosted in the Netherlands and processing is GDPR compliant. Responses are used to generate reports; nothing is shared without consent. Team and 360 feedback is reported in a way that protects individual respondents, so people can answer honestly.
