01

Start with the question that matters to you

Choose an external view of your business, an internal view of how it works, or connect the two. Each starting point has value on its own.

Does our business appear when buyers ask AI?

Test how your business appears in AI answers to relevant buyer questions. Compare service descriptions and named alternatives, then inspect the evidence behind the findings.

Are our people, policies and practices aligned?

Choose full assessments or Micro Assessments, full training or Micro Learning. Use Enien analysis to compare results and understand differences across your organisation.

Explore internal assessments and learning →

Full Assessment or Micro Assessments and Full Training or Micro Learning feed the Enien analysis engine. Examples include people, perspectives, trends over time, maturity, readiness, risk, averages, targets and topic-level evidence.

02

Full assessments or Micro Assessments. Full training or Micro Learning.

Choose the way that suits the topic and the people taking part. Work through the assessment or training in one go, or complete it a topic at a time.

  • Micro Assessments: coherent groups of questions that build towards the same completed assessment.
  • Micro Learning: short, focused training sessions that build understanding over time.

Your delivery choice retains the Enien analysis. Learning outcomes and assessment responses remain distinct.

03

Flexible delivery. The full power of Enien analysis.

Your delivery choice retains the power of the Enien engine. Explore patterns, differences and changes, put results in context and use the detail to decide where to focus.

Compare people and perspectives

Explore differences across individuals, teams, divisions and geographies, and between leadership, user, policy and expert views.

Track trends over time

Compare compatible completed assessments to see how the picture changes across dated observations.

Put results in context

Explore maturity, readiness and risk alongside relevant averages, contextual targets and applicable best-practice references.

Find priorities and inspect the detail

Use the differences to focus attention, drill into topics and question-level evidence, and communicate the findings through reports.

Available views depend on the assessment type, scope and recorded evidence. Trends use compatible completed assessments. Observed averages, organisational targets and best-practice references remain distinct.

04

Use the findings to choose your next step

Use the evidence to build a shared understanding, investigate a difference or decide where a change would help. These examples show how findings can support a decision.

Build a shared understanding

A finding might show
Leaders, policy owners and people doing the work give different accounts of the same topic.
A decision to consider
Discuss what the differences mean, agree what needs a closer look and decide whether a change is needed.

Focus learning and follow-up

A finding might show
Understanding of an important topic varies between roles, teams or locations.
A decision to consider
Choose the audience and topic for focused Micro Learning, then use a relevant Micro Assessment to revisit understanding.

Review priorities and progress

A finding might show
Comparable assessments show little progress, or a relevant risk remains a concern.
A decision to consider
Review controls, resources or the approach, agree the next check, or continue the current course where the evidence supports it.

Align the external message

A finding might show
A leadership-priority service is less prominent on the website or is described differently by AI.
A decision to consider
Review the message and supporting evidence against the services and business outcomes you want to prioritise.

Start with the evidence, agree the next step and who will take it, then revisit the topic when useful.

05

Does the outside view match the business you want to be?

Customers use AI to explore solutions and compare providers. See whether your services are clearly described and your business appears in relevant buyer answers. Compare those observations with supplied leadership priorities.

06

Connect the internal and external picture

QuadraView compares executive, user, policy owner and expert perspectives. PentaView adds External Assessment, helping you explore where the views inside your organisation and the picture outside align or differ.

Make the differences useful

Use the comparison to ask better questions, prioritise attention and support discussions with teams, boards and advisers.

07

The power of AI, guided by a controlled assessment process.

Defined scope, quality checks and retained evidence give AI responses a clear assessment context.

  1. ScopeDefine what is being assessed
  2. QuestionsCheck relevance and claims
  3. EvidenceRetain responses and sources
  4. ReviewShow interpretation and uncertainty

Evidence and review status support judgement. Consider AI responses against the relevant facts and context.

Questions you may have

Do participants always need a customer login?

Participants can use their account or a secure invitation or campaign link, depending on the programme setup. Email delivery needs an email address. Anonymous campaigns use their own participation settings.

Do Micro Assessments retain the full assessment analysis?

Yes. Complete the same assessment in one go or topic by topic through Micro Assessments. The original questions and saved responses feed the same Enien analysis and reporting once the required assessment scope is complete.

Can we focus on a particular topic or standard?

Yes. Scope content around the topics, question groups or sections of a framework that matter to your organisation.

Does learning activity change the assessment result?

Learning and assessment have different purposes. Learning helps people understand a topic; assessment responses provide the input to the assessment result. Keep the two clear when designing a programme.

Can we assess how AI sees our business without an internal assessment?

Yes. External Assessment can stand alone, looking at your published services, how AI understands you and whether relevant buyer questions surface your company. It can also add the external perspective to internal alignment work through PentaView.

How does Enien control the use of AI in External Assessment?

Enien works within a defined assessment scope, uses question-quality checks and recorded reviews, and retains the responses and evidence behind the findings. Coverage, proposed service matches and interpretation status stay visible. The process helps you inspect and challenge AI output; it does not guarantee every answer is correct.

What are Micro Assessments and Micro Learning?

Micro Assessments deliver an assessment in small, coherent groups of questions, such as one topic at a time. Micro Learning delivers training in short, focused learning sessions. You can also complete the assessment or training in one go.

What can Enien help us analyse and compare?

Enien supports comparisons across people and organisational groups, differences between perspectives, trends over time, and maturity, readiness and risk views. Relevant averages, contextual targets and best-practice references help put results in context. Drill into topics, questions and supporting responses or evidence, and communicate findings through reports. Available views depend on the assessment type, scope and recorded evidence.

Can we track trends over time?

Yes. Compare compatible completed assessments from different dates to see how results change. Comparable question coverage and the assessment dates matter: a change in scope or population should be considered when interpreting the trend.

What could the findings help us decide?

Useful outcomes include a shared understanding, further investigation, a decision to keep the current approach or a targeted change. Examples include focusing learning, reviewing a policy or control, prioritising resources and checking progress. Use the relevant evidence and business context to choose the next step.
