The Ballast

Every leader has a set of values they operate from. Not the ones they'd list in a job interview — the ones that actually drive their decisions, reactions, and patterns when nobody's watching.

Most people have never had those values named. Not by a personality test, not by a 360, not by a coach. They know what they believe. They don't always know what they protect.

The Ballast is 63 questions across 10 sections — trade-offs, reactions, patterns, tensions, and a set of questions specifically designed to surface the values you operate from but wouldn't put on a poster. Shadow values aren't flaws. They're data. And they're running more of your leadership than you think.

The AI doesn't score you on a scale. It reads across every answer, maps your responses against 95 values in 10 clusters, and writes a coaching-level analysis that names what's actually driving you — not what you'd like to be driving you.
