Reviewed narrative

On supported instruments, CustomCoach can draft a short interpretation of a score profile. The draft is held for the coach. Approve, edit, or regenerate — then the coachee sees it.

For: Any coach using scored instruments

Worked example: Sarah Chen, engineering manager on Acme’s Aspire programme. Mini-IPIP profile.

Fictional composite for illustration. No real client data.

Walkthrough

Sarah’s Mini-IPIP comes back with subscale scores. The coach generates a narrative. It streams in privately. Sarah’s view does not change. The coach edits two sentences that over-claimed, saves and approves. Only then does Sarah see it.

  1. 1 · Generate

    A button on the result. The draft is a starting point from the score profile and the instrument’s interpretation guide, not a letter to the coachee.

    • If generation is unavailable, you still have bands and the guide. The sitting does not depend on a draft.
    • Regenerate if the draft misses the person in front of you. Do not polish a miss.

  2. 2 · Pending review

    Status is visible to the coach only. Original and edited versions are stored. The coachee’s dashboard is unchanged.

    • This is the whole product: a hold.
    • Leaving it pending for a week is a choice. Approve or discard.

  3. 3 · Approve or edit

    Approve as written, or edit in place and save. Edited-and-approved is a distinct state so you can see what you changed.

    • If you would not put your name on a sentence, cut it.
    • The coachee should never have to wonder whether a person read this.

Three insights

1

The hold is the feature

Plenty of tools will write. Few will refuse to show the coachee until you say so. That refusal is the professional standard, not a nicety.

2

Editing is expected

A draft that needs no edit is a coincidence. The stored original is for you, not for an audit of the coachee.

3

Do not lead the engagement with generated text

Use the narrative after you have sat with the scores. It is a write-up, not the session plan.

20 minutes of coach time, not a coachee session

  1. 0′+5m

    Read the scores first

    Bands and subscales without the draft. Form your own view.

  2. 5′+8m

    Generate and cut

    Remove anything you would not say. Keep developmental language.

  3. 13′+7m

    Approve, then session

    Sarah sees it before or after the sitting — your call — but never before you have.
