People Analyzer
The People Analyzer is an EOS tool for objectively evaluating team members against your organization's core values and the GWC (Gets it, Wants it, Capacity) criteria. It helps leadership teams make data-driven decisions about who is the right person in the right seat.
INFO
For the EOS theory behind the People Analyzer, see EOS Methodology: People Analyzer.
Overview
The page has three views:
- My ratings -- your ratings of every team member for the chosen quarter: a row per person, a column per core value, then G, W and C, and the two results Right Person and Right Seat.
- Team -- everyone's ratings in the team for the quarter, one row per person and evaluator, with their notes. Only the team's Admins and Owners see it (and organization Owners, Admins and Implementers, who act as team Admins).
- History -- your results per person over the last eight quarters.
The quarter selector at the top offers the current quarter (in your time zone) and the seven before it. The chosen quarter and view are kept in the page URL (?quarter=2026-Q4&view=team), so a link opens the same view.
Rating
Click a cell to change it.
| What | Click by click | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A core value | not rated → + → +/− → − → not rated | + lives the value most of the time, +/− sometimes, − does not |
| G, W, C | not rated → Y → N → not rated | Gets it, wants it, has the capacity for the seat -- yes or no |
Every change is saved at once; quick clicks one after another all count. A cell nobody has rated yet is an empty, dashed box -- it never counts as a bad rating.
The core values come from the company vision on the V/TO, so every team rates against the same values. If your company has no core values yet, three placeholders (Core Value 1--3) stand in until the leadership team writes them. Renaming a core value on the V/TO keeps the ratings given under its old name.
Notes
The note icon next to a name opens a note on that person for the quarter -- what stands out, what you agreed. The icon is filled once there is a note. Notes are part of your rating: you and the team's Admins see them.
The Bar and the Results
The bar is the minimum a right person must meet on the core values: no −, and at most a set number of +/− (EOS recommends one). Your company sets it once for all teams; the people who edit the company vision (organization Owners and Admins, Implementers, and the Admins of a leadership team) change it with The bar at the top of the page. Everyone else sees it as text.
For each person the page works out:
| Result | Yes | No | Not rated yet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Right Person | every core value rated, no −, +/− within the bar | any −, or more +/− than the bar allows | some values still unrated |
| Right Seat | G, W and C all yes | any of them no | some still unanswered |
Taking Action
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Right Person, Right Seat | Retain and develop |
| Right Person, Wrong Seat | Move to a better-fitting seat |
| Wrong Person, Right Seat | Coach on values or consider transition |
| Wrong Person, Wrong Seat | Transition out |
WARNING
GWC is seat-specific, not person-specific. A person might "Get" a sales role but not "Get" an operations role. Always evaluate GWC in the context of their current seat.
Who Can Use It
| Who | Can |
|---|---|
| Team Members and above | Rate the team's members and write notes -- always as themselves; see their own ratings and history |
| Team Admins and Owners (and organization Owners, Admins, Implementers) | Also the Team view with everyone's ratings |
| Company vision editors | Set the bar |
| Viewers | Open the page without rating |
Ratings are sensitive: nobody sees someone else's ratings except the team's Admins. The same holds for the REST API and AI assistants: a member's key reads only their own reviews.
