Form better teams, earlier

Team performance starts before the project begins.

Cohort helps instructors form stronger student teams, see emerging coordination gaps, and support groups before small gaps become project problems.

The Cohort Approach

Understand the roster

A short survey captures how students work, communicate, and contribute.

Form better teams

Cohort evaluates possible team mixes and recommends stronger configurations.

See coordination signals

Team-level signals show where support may be needed while there’s still time.

How it works

It’s not just the people. It’s the configuration.

The same roster can produce very different teams depending on how students are grouped. Cohort compares configurations before teams are finalized.

Available roster

One roster. Many possible team configurations.

Team A

Less balanced configuration

Team A is composed of members A, B, C, and D from the available roster of six.
STRENGTHS 65 STYLE 60 RHYTHM 60 LOAD 55 62 TCI

More load concentration. Lower rhythm balance.

Team B

Stronger configuration

Team B is composed of members A, C, E, and F from the available roster of six.
STRENGTHS 88 STYLE 82 RHYTHM 84 LOAD 76 82 TCI

Stronger balance across strength, rhythm, style, and load.

Illustrative example. Scores show how different team compositions from the same group can change the team-level readout.

See what matters, sooner

See the invisible before it shapes the outcome.

Cohort gives instructors a clear view of team-level coordination and emerging gaps — so you can support students while the work is still taking shape.

  • Spot coordination gaps early

    See misalignment in how teams work together.

  • Intervene with confidence

    Use clear signals to guide timely, targeted support.

  • Support every team more consistently

    Better formation and earlier signals help fewer teams slip through unnoticed.

The difference

We measure the team, not the people in it.

Most tools look at individual traits, roles, or working styles. Cohort looks at the configuration between people — the fit, friction, and balance that determine whether a team can actually perform.

What you can do today

Start with the team in front of you.

Two ways instructors use Cohort today: forming student teams from a class roster, and measuring how an existing team is coordinating.
