Problem
Enterprises struggle to assess which employees can generate value that goes beyond what AI can produce, leading to low ROI on AI initiatives and difficulty building teams with truly differentiated thinking.
Solution
Hupside offers a science‑backed measurement platform that quantifies Original Intelligence—the capacity to create novel, high‑impact contributions beyond AI baselines. Through the Hupchecker assessment, individuals complete a short, open‑ended prompt exercise that generates an OIQ Profile, including an originality score, archetype, and contribution signals. Leaders can view these metrics at both the individual and team level via a dashboard, enabling data‑driven decisions for hiring, talent development, AI adoption roadmaps, and team composition. The platform also provides actionable roadmaps that align AI deployment with each employee’s strengths, helping organizations improve AI ROI and build future‑proof teams.
Target Audience
