for coaches · 360 reviews + post-engagement debriefs
Run a twelve-stakeholder 360 without coordinating twelve Calendly invites yourself.
Lacudelph is the interview surface for executive coaches, leadership consultants, and HR partners running 360 reviews and post-engagement debriefs. Each stakeholder gets the same structured conductor; you get a cohort view to bring into the synthesis hour the coachee actually pays for — without bottlenecking on stakeholder calendars or your own.
Why 360s eat the engagement
A typical 360 for an executive coachee involves 8–15 stakeholder interviews. The coachee is paying for synthesis and pattern-recognition; what they’re actually buying is three weeks of you chasing peers, reports, and cross-functional partners across timezones. Stakeholders, when they do agree, give the safe answer to a stranger asking direct questions. The hour the coachee remembers is the synthesis hour. The twenty hours behind it are unpaid logistics.
- Calendar coordination: 12 stakeholders × ~3 reschedules = a fortnight just to get all the slots.
- Stakeholders give the polite first answer to a coach they’ve never met. The candid second-pass framing — the one the coachee actually needs — comes 20 minutes in, and frequently never.
- Form-based 360 tools (Lattice, 15Five, generic surveys) collect rateable bullet points but lose the contextual texture that makes patterns visible.
- Your time on logistics is bundled into the engagement fee — every hour on Calendly is an hour you can’t bill at coaching rates.
How Lacudelph changes it
1
Coach writes one brief per coachee
Five fields: what dimensions of leadership the 360 is investigating, who the stakeholder ring is, which patterns matter for this engagement, what stakeholders get back. Lacudelph generates the conductor persona, the probing structure, and the meta-noticing rules — calibrated for stakeholder-of-an-executive context.
2
Send the stakeholder link
One URL goes to all twelve. Each stakeholder opens it when their calendar permits — no scheduling, no timezones, no rescheduling. The AI conductor walks each one through the same framework, adapting where they say something concrete and moving on through generic answers.
3
Each stakeholder gets a thoughtful reflection
At session close the stakeholder receives their own structured reflection — sections picked from what they actually said: what they named, where their account shifted as they spoke, and one observation they almost-but-didn’t surface. Turns the 360 from extraction into something each stakeholder gets value from — and they go deeper because the conductor isn’t a stranger they’ll have to face at the next offsite.
4
You get the cohort aggregate for the synthesis hour
Convergent observations, divergent framings (‘direct reports said X, peers said Y’), recurring hedges, and the patterns that only show up across N stakeholders. You walk into the synthesis hour with the data already shaped — bill the hour, not the twenty behind it. Pro tier.
What a 360 brief looks like
A worked example for an executive coach running a 360 for a Director-level coachee in a mid-size SaaS company. Substitute your own engagement’s context.
- Goal
- Surface the pattern of how this Director shows up across stakeholder relationships — particularly the gap between how they self-narrate as ‘direct’ and how peers experience it. Distinguish situational behaviour from underlying disposition where stakeholders give consistent vs divergent accounts.
- Audience
- The full stakeholder ring: the coachee’s manager, three peers (cross-functional), four direct reports, two skip-levels, and two regular cross-functional partners. 12 stakeholders.
- Hypotheses to check
- (a) The coachee’s ‘directness’ reads as candour to peers and as criticism to reports — same behaviour, different reception by hierarchy distance; (b) when the stakes are high, the coachee retreats from the directness they identify with; (c) feedback from the manager and from skip-levels is more aligned with each other than with peers — suggesting the coachee’s upward and downward signals diverge.
- What stakeholders get back
- A reflection tailored to what they observed — sections picked from what they actually said: where their own framing shifted as they articulated it, and one thing they hadn’t put into words about the working relationship before this conversation. Reciprocal shape — stakeholders engage more when they get something back.
Common questions
How is this different from Lattice, 15Five, or a generic 360 form?
Form-based 360 tools collect rateable bullet points — five-point Likert scales, free-text fields. Lacudelph runs an adaptive multi-turn conversation with each stakeholder, probing where they say something concrete and moving on through generic answers. The cohort synthesis names patterns that only emerge across stakeholders (peers vs reports vs manager) — not pre-coded categories.
Will stakeholders give honest feedback to an AI vs to me directly?
Empirically yes — and often more candid. Stakeholders avoid telling a coach things that might get back to the coachee, but a structured AI conductor that promises anonymity and gives them their own reflection at the end (reciprocal exchange, not extraction) lands in a different register. The 360 stops being something stakeholders dread.
What tier do I need to aggregate across stakeholders?
Pro tier ($99/mo) for cohort rounds + cross-stakeholder aggregation. The cohort report names convergent observations, divergent framings (e.g. 'direct reports said X, peers said Y'), and the patterns that only show up across N stakeholders.
How is anonymity handled in the synthesis?
Quote anchors in the cohort report use participant codes (P3, P5) and role labels (peer / report / manager) — not names. The host (you, the coach) sees the cohort patterns and can correlate codes back to names privately if needed for the synthesis hour, but the artifact you'd hand to the coachee can stay anonymised.
Can I keep the data only as long as the engagement runs?
Yes. The host (you) can delete the brief and all attached interviews from /org/settings; cascade deletion drops transcripts, takeaways, and aggregate rows. GDPR Art. 17 erasure requests from individual stakeholders also flow through /contact?topic=participant-erasure with the interview reference. See the DPA for the data-handling details.
