The culture—optional

In your own words—how you work, what gets rewarded, your mission or values. Stated culture gives every assessment a culture lens; skipping it just means none is claimed.

Benjamin Franklin—printer, scientist, diplomat, civic architect. Publisher of the Pennsylvania Gazette and of Poor Richard's Almanack for twenty-five years—an annual translation of practical wisdom into proverbs a farmer could carry. His electrical experiments decoded a confusion of phenomena into the one-fluid theory, proved lightning and electricity the same thing, and made him the most famous natural philosopher alive; he declined to patent the lightning rod, the stove, or bifocals, writing that as we enjoy advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad to serve others by ours, freely and generously. As deputy postmaster and then Postmaster General he built the continental postal system—routes, rates, and delivery times that first stitched distant colonies into one correspondence. Founder of the American Philosophical Society, the transatlantic clearinghouse that connected colonial science to Europe's. Sent to France at seventy, he translated an eight-state rebellion into a cause the French court would fund and fight for—the alliance, the loans, and the peace treaty are his file. Co-founder of the Junto, the Library Company, the Union Fire Company, and the Academy that became the University of Pennsylvania. In his own account of his method: 'I made it a rule to forbear all direct contradiction to the sentiments of others, and all positive assertion of my own.'

What you know firsthand

Met him twice, once at a dinner and once at his shop, and followed his work in France through correspondents. At dinner he asked more questions than he answered and drew out the quietest man at the table until that man led the conversation. When challenged sharply on a point about the postal accounts he did not argue; he asked the challenger to say more, conceded a small part plainly, and reframed the rest as a question the table could work on. What he seems to do everywhere is carry things across: an experiment in Philadelphia becomes a letter to London becomes a demonstration in Paris; a scheme that worked in one city is written up so the next city can copy it—he told me a library or a fire company should be designed so it runs without its founder, and then given away like the stove. In France, my correspondent writes, he wears the fur cap and lets the court read him as the frontier philosopher, and through that performance moves loans, ships, and treaties no formal envoy could obtain. At the shop he showed me the ledger where he scores himself weekly against a list of virtues—and laughed that Order has defeated him his whole life; the ledger exists, he said, because that discipline never came naturally, and he keeps it the way a man keeps a regimen for a weakness.

Thomas Jefferson—author of the Declaration of Independence, chosen for the drafting because, in Adams's recollection, he could write ten times better than any other man on the committee. Third President. His own epitaph, written by himself, names three things—the Declaration, the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and the University of Virginia—and omits the presidency entirely. Author of Notes on the State of Virginia, the era's most comprehensive natural and political survey of an American state, his only full-length book, built from a decade of collected measurements. Presents himself as a farmer-philosopher called reluctantly from his mountain to public life, and returns to that framing in nearly every letter that touches on office. Famously near-silent in deliberative bodies: Adams recorded that through a whole Congress he never heard him utter three sentences together, and both inaugural addresses were delivered so quietly most of the chamber could not hear them—the texts circulated in print did the work. In the first of them, to a bitterly divided country: 'We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.' He described the Declaration's object as not to find out new principles but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject—the harmonizing sentiments of the day.

What you know firsthand

Dined with him twice at the President's House. He seats guests at a round table so no one outranks anyone, serves the wine himself so servants won't overhear, and steers the table by asking each guest the one question that gets them talking about what they know best. He said almost nothing himself either evening, but three days after the first dinner I received a letter responding, point by point and with citations, to a remark I had half-made about crop rotation. In committee he is the same: silent in the room, then a draft appears that has absorbed and reorganized everyone's argument. When two guests fell into a hot dispute over the embargo, he did not adjudicate—he asked a question about Adam Smith that forced both to restate their positions in someone else's terms, and the heat went out of it. What I have never once seen him do is confront anyone directly. He broke Washington's precedent and sends the annual message to Congress in writing rather than delivering it as a speech. His wars are fought through other men—Madison on the floor, editors in print he quietly keeps in office—while he remains courteous to the very men being savaged, and I believe the courtesy is sincere in the moment. When a fight cannot be routed around, he withdraws: to his study with one of the incapacitating headaches that arrive at exactly such junctures, or to Monticello for months. He copies every letter he writes on a duplicating machine—nineteen thousand of them—audits himself in writing the way he once audited head against heart in a letter half the capital has read, keeps daily weather and account books without missing a day, and yet somehow has never once summed those meticulous books into the one total that would tell him he is going broke. The precision is a ritual, not a control.

Benedict Arnold—before the name became the noun, the most dangerous fighting general in the Continental Army, by his enemies' assessment and his own insistent accounting. Co-captor of Ticonderoga; commander of the impossible wilderness march on Quebec; builder and commander of the scratch fleet at Valcour Island whose sacrificial delaying action bought the Revolution its 1776; the field genius of both Saratoga battles, the second fought after his superior had relieved him of command and he rode out anyway. The Boot Monument at Saratoga honors his shattered leg and pointedly omits his name—which is the whole public record in one object. After the treason: a British brigadier who burned New London in his own home colony, a half-pay officer in London whom neither side fully trusted, a merchant again, dead at sixty with his American name a synonym for betrayal. His own public writings—the Address to the Inhabitants of America justifying the change of sides—argue principle; the negotiated price, in money and rank, is also in the record.

What you know firsthand

Served on his staff through Saratoga and saw him again in Philadelphia. There are two ledgers in the man and he keeps both with equal precision. In the field he is the finest quick read of ground and momentum I have ever seen—he finds the seam in a line before it opens, and his personal recklessness is not display: men follow him because he is genuinely in front. At Freeman's Farm he saw the hinge of the whole position while senior officers were still arranging their caution. But in garrison the other ledger comes out. Every expense advanced from his own pocket is recorded as honor owed; every promotion of a junior over him is recited, dated, with the names; the account is never closed and never forgiven. He demanded his own court-martial to clear the Philadelphia charges—demanded it, pressed for it, treated acquittal as the vindication he was owed—and when the verdict sustained two minor counts and brought a reprimand from Washington, gently worded as it was, he took it as the final proof that the account would never be settled honestly. I watched the marriage into the Shippen circle give the grievance a philosophy: loyalism made his ledger principled. He needed the account settled in public, with interest. I do not believe the side mattered by the end; the settlement did.

Team fit

A team's phase coverage is the union of what its members are naturally aligned with—not an average of them. Add the people you work with and this reads what the group can absorb between them, where the strain lands, and what a hire would change.

Your team

A team read runs on people, and people have to be kept somewhere—so this one needs an account. Sign in and you can add colleagues by name, attach each person’s Stance result, and read what the group covers between them.

Coverage describes what a team is naturally aligned to absorb. It is not a ranking of people, and working outside a natural phase is a skill that can be built—a gap says where the cost will land without support, not what anyone is capable of.

The audit record

Every ranked slate this account has run, with the version of the scoring that produced it. Where local law regulates automated hiring tools, this is the file your auditor asks for—and it is the one thing that cannot be reconstructed later, because it is written at the moment of the decision or not at all.
