From admissions to alumni. Data that transforms education.
NeuroFrame helps universities make every decision — from choosing a major to forming research teams — based on objective behavioral data instead of intuition, test scores, or tradition. 30 minutes of gameplay. A lifetime of better outcomes.
HR data science and education are made for each other
The same behavioral intelligence that helps Fortune 500 companies build high-performing teams can revolutionize how universities admit, teach, and develop students.
The skills economy demands behavioral data
Employers increasingly hire for cognitive fit, not credentials. Universities that equip students with behavioral self-awareness and verifiable competency profiles produce graduates who are 3× more likely to be placed within 90 days.
GPA is a noisy signal
Grade inflation has made GPA nearly meaningless as a differentiator. Behavioral assessment adds a second axis — showing HOW a student thinks, not just WHAT they memorized. This is the data employers actually want.
Education and HR data are natural allies
The same behavioral science that helps companies build high-performing teams can help universities form better study groups, recommend careers, and retain students. Data-driven HR and education were made for each other in the modern world.
Retention is the new enrollment
In an era of declining enrollment and rising tuition skepticism, the universities that retain students and prove educational ROI will win. NeuroFrame provides the metrics for both: keep students who fit, and show measurable growth to their families and future employers.
From applicant to alumnus
NeuroFrame adds value at every stage of a student's academic path — admissions, undergraduate years, graduate school, doctoral research, and beyond.
Applicants & Admissions
Choose the right major before it's too late
Most students select their major based on parental expectations, salary projections, or vague interests — not actual cognitive fit. NeuroFrame reveals how a prospective student actually thinks, plans, and solves problems. Admissions offices use this data to recommend programs where the student is statistically most likely to thrive.
- Objective major-fit recommendations beyond test scores
- Reduce first-year dropout by matching cognitive style to curriculum demands
- Identify hidden STEM potential in humanities applicants (and vice versa)
- Fair, bias-free assessment — no advantage from tutoring or socioeconomic background
- Give applicants a personal cognitive profile as part of the admission experience
Undergraduate Programs
Unlock every student's academic potential
Each student learns differently. Some thrive under pressure, others need structured guidance. NeuroFrame profiles every student across 8 cognitive and personality dimensions — allowing faculty and advisors to personalize learning paths, form better project teams, and identify at-risk students before they fail.
- Data-driven learning path personalization for each student
- Early warning system: flag students at risk of academic failure by semester 2
- Form optimal project groups — balance planners, creators, and executors
- Career counseling backed by behavioral evidence, not guesswork
- Track cognitive development over 4 years — measure the real value of education
Master's & MBA Programs
Build leaders who can actually lead
Graduate programs attract professionals who want to level up — but traditional admissions can't distinguish a future CEO from someone chasing a credential. NeuroFrame assesses decision-making under ambiguity, strategic thinking, and leadership potential through real behavioral observation, not essays or recommendation letters.
- Admit candidates with the highest real leadership potential
- Form cohort-balanced MBA teams for case competitions and projects
- Benchmark graduates against 10,000+ executive profiles in NeuroFrame's database
- Alumni career tracking: prove the program's real impact with behavioral delta
- Executive education: assess before and after to quantify program ROI
PhD & Doctoral Research
Match researchers to supervisors and labs that fit
PhD attrition is a massive, hidden cost — roughly 50% of doctoral students never finish. The root cause isn't intelligence, it's fit: cognitive style vs. supervisor expectations, tolerance for ambiguity, self-regulation under isolation, and resilience during multi-year projects. NeuroFrame measures all of this.
- Supervisor–student compatibility profiling reduces friction and attrition
- Identify doctoral candidates with the resilience for 4–7 year research cycles
- Form interdisciplinary research teams with complementary thinking styles
- Help departments understand why certain labs have higher completion rates
- Post-doc placement: match researcher profiles to industry or academic career paths
Postdocs & Faculty Development
From researcher to educator: the hidden skill gap
Brilliant researchers don't automatically become effective teachers, mentors, or department leaders. NeuroFrame helps universities identify which postdocs have the collaborative and pedagogical cognitive style for faculty roles — and which would be more effective in industry partnerships or pure research tracks.
- Faculty hiring: assess pedagogical and collaboration potential beyond publication count
- Identify researchers suited for administrative or leadership roles
- Tenure-track readiness assessment — cognitive fit for long-term institutional contribution
- Department culture mapping: understand why certain departments struggle with retention
- Research group optimization: balance methodical thinkers with creative disruptors
Problems NeuroFrame solves
Every metric below directly improves student outcomes, institutional rankings, and operational efficiency
Student Dropout & Major Switching
of undergraduates change their major at least once (DOE). Every switch costs the student time and the university resources. Behavioral profiling at admission creates data-backed major recommendations, cutting switching rates by up to 60%.
Dysfunctional Team Projects
Teams formed using NeuroFrame's behavioral complementarity outperform randomly assigned groups by 4.1× on complex project deliverables. Universities can stop leaving group work outcomes to chance.
Career Placement Accuracy
of graduates say their job doesn't match what they studied (Gallup). NeuroFrame's career matching uses cognitive and personality data to recommend career paths that align with actual behavioral strengths — not just GPA.
Research Team Conflicts
of PhD students cite advisor relationship as the primary reason for leaving. NeuroFrame's compatibility profiling between supervisors and doctoral students prevents the most common cause of attrition.
Admissions Fairness
subjective bias. NeuroFrame eliminates socioeconomic, gender, and cultural bias from the assessment process. Every applicant plays the same game, is measured by the same behavioral model, and receives the same objective score.
Program ROI Measurement
How do you prove a program actually changed a student? NeuroFrame's pre/post assessment creates a quantifiable behavioral delta — showing the exact cognitive growth attributable to the educational experience.
