  • Culture & role discovery (working norms, communication styles, values)
  • Signal design: the 5‑Signal EI framework (awareness, communication, adaptability, integrity, collaboration)
  • Structured interviews & work samples aligned to signals
  • Balanced scorecards + reference loops to validate behaviors
  • Offer strategy, onboarding rhythm, and 100‑day integration
