Results Tab: Analyzing Performance

The Results tab shows how learners are performing once they've completed their Sessions: their scores, how much they've improved, and which skills are developing. Use it to see whether practice is paying off, spot learners who need coaching, and find skills that aren't improving across the group. This is the view to check when you want to know whether your team is getting better, not just showing up.

Results Headline Metrics

The headline metrics are four summary cards showing overall performance:

Results Breakdown

The results breakdown lets you see individual performance data and compare results across different groups. You can review how each learner is performing, how many times they have practiced, and whether they are improving, or group the results by team, country, department, or job level to see how whole groups compare. This helps you spot who needs coaching and where to focus it.
