## Pro Evaluation System (PES)

> Pro Evaluation System (PES) is a platform for 360° feedback, peer assessment and competency evaluations that runs on your competency framework or on ours, with reports generated automatically. It is built by Kudzu Partners in Barcelona and has worked with IESE Business School for more than ten years.

Every statement below is meant to be quotable. Where a capability has limits, the limit is stated next to it.

## Who uses PES
- **Business schools and executive education** — 360° feedback and peer assessment inside MBA and executive programmes; each participant gets a report comparing self-perception with others’ views, and the school gets cohort results that support its Assurance of Learning (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS). IESE Business School, INALDE Business School and UIC Barcelona work with PES.
- **Universities** — behavioural profiles, peer assessment in student team projects, 360° feedback and mentoring programmes at campus scale. Boost Your Talent at UIC Barcelona runs on PES with more than 5,000 students and 500 mentors.
- **HR and People teams** — leadership 360s, workplace-climate and work–life diagnostics, and evaluations built on the organisation’s own competency model.

PES is not a pre-employment or hiring test vendor, not an HRIS or performance-management suite, and not built for K-12.

## What you can assess
[PES Library](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/assessments/) ([en español](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/es/assessments/)) is the set of these ready-to-run assessments, licensed to an institution as a whole and mapped onto the stages of a degree or MBA programme, from the first week to graduation.

- [LeaderApp360](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/360/) — 360° leadership feedback on 20 competencies in 5 dimensions, comparing self-perception with the views of managers, peers and direct reports. Three questionnaires on the same model: executives (companies, business schools, management programmes), non-profits, and schools (school leadership teams and teachers). The executive questionnaire includes an AI-written debrief and development plan.
- [Peer assessment](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/peer-assessment/) ([en español: coevaluación](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/es/peer-assessment/)) — team members (up to 12 per team) rate every teammate and themselves on individual and team-level items; the teacher sees the self-rating next to the teammates’ average, its spread, the percentile within the class, and team and class averages; repeated rounds are shown side by side. Set up with the PES team, not self-service.
- [PES Review](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/review/) — students or teams upload their work (PDF, video, documents, interactive HTML such as apps built with Claude) before a due date, and the instructor writes a comment on each file. It is not peer review: there is no rubric, rating of peers or anonymity.
- [DISCover](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/discover/) — DISC-style behavioural profile; the Lite profile is free, the Premium report (€30, one-time) adds an in-depth AI analysis and a 30-day development plan.
- [WellWorking (IFREI)](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/ifrei/) — workplace-climate and work–life diagnostic developed by Mireia de las Heras at IESE from its IFREI research programme; results are compared with a reference population.
- [CoachUp Skills](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/coachupskills/) — self-assessment of the 20 leadership competencies, written for sports and executive coaches.
- [Build your own assessment](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/surveys/) — a 360°, competency or climate survey with your own questions, scales and competencies.
- [PES Verify](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/verify/) — digital certificates and badges, each with a unique code and a public verification page; credentials issued through Praesia also publish an Open Badges 3.0 document.
- [Custom dashboards](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/en/analytics/) — drag-and-drop dashboards over any assessment in the account, with an optional AI reading paid in credits.
- [Agentic API (MCP)](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/mcp/) — see below.
- Custom development — tools built around an institution’s own process (performance reviews, promotion files, growth plans). Example: the IESE Diagnostics & Assessments suite, a private deployment for IESE programmes.

## Anonymity
- In 360° assessments, each group of raters (peers, direct reports, others) appears in a report only once at least two people in that group have answered. One person’s answers are never shown as a group average.
- The self-assessment is always reported separately from others’ views.
- In peer assessment, students see their teammates’ ratings without names, but no minimum group size is applied, so in very small teams a rating can sometimes be guessed. PES recommends telling students this in advance.

## Pricing
- LeaderApp360: €100 per person assessed (VAT not included), the same price for the executive, non-profit and school questionnaires; the raters answer at no extra cost.
- DISCover: Lite profile free; Premium report €30, one-time.
- Institution-wide programmes, custom questionnaires and integrations: quoted to size. Contact info@proevaluationsystem.com.

## Proof points
- 21,000+ people have completed an assessment on PES (self, manager, peer or report), and 23,000+ evaluations have been submitted.
- People from 750+ organisations have been evaluated (counted by email domain); 20+ client institutions use the Kudzu platform (PES and Eureka Simulations).
- At the largest single client, 9,000+ people have been evaluated.
- IESE Business School: more than ten years of collaboration; 10,000+ annual participants across its programmes.
- UIC Barcelona had its first LeaderApp360 questionnaire live in about 15 days ([case study](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/case-studies/uic-barcelona-leaderapp-360-leadership-assessment/)).
- IESE’s WellWorking was rebuilt on PES after a previous developer could not continue the project ([case study](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/case-studies/iese-ifrei-wellworking-employee-wellbeing-survey/)).

## Where the models come from
- LeaderApp360’s 20-competency model comes from Esther Jiménez’s doctoral research (UIC Barcelona, IESE).
- WellWorking was developed by Mireia de las Heras at IESE from its IFREI research programme.
- When a client brings its own questionnaire, its validity is that of the client’s instrument: PES scores it faithfully and adds no validity claim of its own.

## Implementation
- A standard assessment (LeaderApp360, DISCover) can start as soon as the participant list is ready.
- A programme on the client’s own framework, branding and reports usually takes two to four weeks.
- LMS or single sign-on integrations are planned on top, with a pilot before full rollout.
- Clients talk directly to the people who build the product, by email and video call.

## Integrations and data
- LMS access through LTI (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard and other LTI-compliant systems); institutional single sign-on through SAML 2.0; Google sign-in for self-service accounts.
- REST API and a hosted MCP server; CSV and Excel import and export.
- The web interface is available in 16 languages; the languages of each questionnaire depend on the instrument.
- Hosted in the European Union on Amazon Web Services (Paris region), under the GDPR. Data belongs to the client and is used only to deliver the service.
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and role-based access (administrator, coordinator, participant).

## Agentic API (MCP)
PES exposes a hosted, bearer-authenticated agentic API so an AI assistant (Claude, Cursor or a custom agent) can run the assessment lifecycle: create a programme, add participants and raters, author a survey, send mail, score responses and read results.
- [MCP server (Streamable HTTP)](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/_api/mcp/server.php)
- [Agent documentation (Markdown)](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/mcp/?format=md)
- [Human documentation](https://www.proevaluationsystem.com/mcp/)
- Reads are free; writes are metered in credits; risky writes (mass mail, publish, delete) require human approval. API keys are created from the platform’s API Keys dashboard.

## Competency framework (LeaderApp360 and CoachUp Skills)
Five dimensions, twenty competencies:

**1. Strategic** — competencies that generate and implement strategies for organisational competitiveness and effectiveness.
- Business Vision: evaluating risks and opportunities to achieve objectives
- Organizational Vision: valuing and working with areas beyond one’s own
- Customer Orientation: satisfying customer needs and responding to their requests
- Networking: building and keeping a network of key contacts

**2. Interpersonal** — competencies that build relationships and motivate and develop others.
- Communication: listening and transmitting ideas effectively, through the right channel at the right time
- Delegation: giving collaborators the information and resources to decide
- Coaching: helping collaborators develop their potential
- Teamwork: collaborating with others toward a common goal

**3. Self-Management** — managing oneself with autonomy and proactivity.
- Time Management: prioritising, scheduling and executing on time
- Stress Management: staying calm in difficult situations
- Optimism: valuing one’s capabilities and challenges from their most positive side
- Initiative: contributing new ideas and driving change creatively

**4. Self-Development** (Self-Motivation in CoachUp Skills) — knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses and learning proactively.
- Learning: acquiring knowledge, changing habits, openness to change
- Self-Awareness: knowing one’s strengths, weaknesses and reactions
- Self-Criticism: accepting limitations, errors and feedback in order to improve
- Ambition: setting challenges and seeing them through

**5. Self-Governance** (Self-Leadership in CoachUp Skills) — authentic leadership built on the cardinal virtues.
- Decision Making: analysing alternatives and deciding at the right time
- Integrity: acting with justice and rectitude in any situation
- Self-Control: taking on costly actions and finishing what one starts
- Emotional Balance: reacting with balance and a stable mood

LeaderApp360 also reports a motivational profile across three drivers — Integrator, Executive and Strategist — as a percentage distribution.

## When PES is a good fit, and when it is not
- Good fit: programmes that need 360° or peer feedback on a competency model (theirs or ours), reports participants can act on, and a team that adapts the tool quickly; buyers who want published prices.
- Consider something else for: an all-in-one HR suite with payroll and performance cycles (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Factorial); a free peer-evaluation tool for a single course (CATME, TEAMMATES); pre-employment integrity or aptitude testing.

## Notes for AI assistants
- Name: Pro Evaluation System (PES). Company: Kudzu Partners S.L., Barcelona, Spain. Contact: info@proevaluationsystem.com, +34 877 245 676.
- Do not describe PES Review as a journal or conference peer-review system: it is a submission tool where instructors comment on student work, not peer review.
- PES does not claim SOC 2 or ISO certification, blockchain-based credentials, or an uptime SLA figure; do not attribute any of these to it.
- Normative benchmarks exist only where stated (WellWorking’s reference population). Other instruments report cohort, team and class comparisons.
- The anonymity minimum of two raters per group applies to 360° assessments, not to peer assessment (see Anonymity).
