Are you this kind of coach?

Coach A, already holds ACC, preparing for PCC.

She has accumulated 500 coaching hours, but she isn't sure — does every session she does actually meet PCC standard?

Submitting an application costs money, time, and emotional preparation. If it doesn't go through, the loss isn't just the application fee.

If you could get an objective assessment
against all 37 Markers before you submitted,
what would your next move be?

Coach B, three years in practice, no ICF credentials.

Clients are happy, the practice is running. But occasionally he asks himself — by ICF standards, what level am I actually at?

Peers speak in vague terms. Mentor coaching feedback is subjective too. He wants a concrete answer benchmarked against the official standard.

If someone gave you an assessment
specific to each Marker against the ICF official framework,
what could you do with it?

Coach C, PCC renewal cycle, wants fine-grained calibration.

He knows he's a competent PCC coach. But he wants to know — which specific Markers have stabilised at MCC level, and which are still sitting at the PCC floor.

That level of granularity is beyond what regular mentor coaching can offer.

If you uploaded a recording each month
and watched your radar chart slowly shift,
what would your growth trajectory look like?

What is coaching competency analysis

You upload a de-identified coaching transcript (with timestamps), and within 24 hours you receive a PDF report — assessed against the ICF official 8 core competencies and 37 PCC Markers, with an ACC / PCC / MCC / Not Observed rating for each item, plus verbatim quotes, timestamps, and rewrite suggestions.

✓ What it is

  • ICF 8 core competencies + 37 PCC Markers assessed line by line
  • Every judgement includes verbatim quotes + timestamps you can check yourself
  • Verbatim quote + timestamp evidence
  • Rewrite suggestions for Markers that were not observed

✗ What it is not

  • Not an official certification — ICF assessment can only be done by ICF itself
  • Not vague peer feedback — every Marker comes with evidence
  • Not a black-box score — every judgement shows you the evidence

Analyst: Nicolas Laurent (ICF PCC International Coach · ICF Mentor Coach · trained in ICF PCC official assessor methodology)

Why you can trust it · Not a black-box score

This analysis doesn't rely on "trust me." It relies on three things — the first two you can verify yourself at any time, and the third we've already measured against official benchmark answers:

📏 Benchmarked against the ICF official standard
It uses the ICF's publicly released 8 core competencies + 37 PCC Markers — the same official assessment instrument, not one person's subjective impression. Designed and calibrated by Nicolas (ICF PCC · trained in official ICF assessor methodology).
🔍 Every judgement comes with evidence
For every Marker's rating, you are shown the verbatim quote and timestamp it is based on. You can take the report, go back to your own recording, and check every line — visible evidence, not a score you're told to take on faith.
📊 Calibrated against official assessment benchmarks
In a blind-scoring study using ICF official PCC assessor benchmark answers as ground truth (5 official demonstration sessions; 4 of them held out from calibration, each blind-scored independently 3 times, ~510 individual line-item judgements), this tool agreed with the official ratings at approximately 83% (approximately 85% when the markers ICF itself flags as disputed among assessors are treated generously) — and the disagreements concentrate precisely where trained human assessors also diverge from one another.
This 83% concerns the binary Observed / Not-observed call on each PCC marker — i.e. "is it at the PCC line or not", the line that decides credentialing. The ACC / MCC levels on the radar are an extension based on ICF's published minimum-skill requirements for those levels (to show direction of travel), and fall outside what this official benchmark validates.
Notes: markers that require video or tone of voice to judge (nonverbal signals) are excluded; single blind runs vary — a single session scored once produces results roughly in the 74%–88% range; only the multi-session average is stable. This tool is built on the official ICF assessment instrument but does NOT replace, and is NOT equivalent to, official ICF certification assessment.

"I don't want to give you a black-box 'pass / fail' score. I want you to see the evidence behind every judgement, and verify it yourself." — Nicolas

A note from the analyst

I built this service because, as a PCC applicant myself,
the one thing I most wished had existed
was this report.

Most coaches receive vague feedback before submitting their PCC application:
mentor coaching input is subjective, peer review is generic, and asking an AI off the cuff is far too lenient.

I want you to finish reading the report
knowing two things:
where you are already stable at PCC,
and where two more practice sessions would get you there.

A few common concerns
Is this report equivalent to an official ICF assessment?
No. Official ICF assessment can only be conducted by ICF itself — we cannot substitute for it. We use the same standard as ICF's publicly released 8 core competencies + 37 PCC Markers, with ratings made by an ICF PCC Mentor (trained in official assessor methodology) — the goal is to let you know the likely outcome before you submit, rather than gambling the application fee on instinct.
How is my client's privacy protected?
Please de-identify the transcript yourself before uploading — replace the client's name, company, and any identifiable details. We look only at coaching technique; no client identity information is needed. The original transcript is deleted within 30 days of the report being delivered.
Does the 10-session package count as the 10 hours of Mentor Coaching required for the PCC application?
The report analysis itself does not count as ICF-recognised Mentor Coaching hours (those must be live 1-on-1 sessions in real time). However, 10 reports can serve as structured support alongside Mentor Coaching — many PCC applicants use our reports to identify priority topics for their Mentor Coaching sessions. If you need ICF-recognised Mentor Coaching hours, scan to add me and enquire separately.
My recording is in Chinese — can it be analysed?
Yes. 28 languages are supported, including Chinese, English, and French. The report language is your choice (if you want a Chinese-language report, it comes in Chinese).
I'm an MCC applicant — can I use this?
In part, yes. ICF currently has 8 core competencies, and all three levels — ACC / PCC / MCC — use the same set of 8 competencies. The difference lies in the threshold of proficiency and depth, not additional competency items. The report's assessment of all 8 competencies covers the depth range required for MCC and can help you see how far you are from the MCC standard. MCC applicants typically use this report as a bridging assessment from PCC to MCC — scan to add me and we can discuss your situation directly.
Can I discuss the report with Nicolas afterwards?
The report itself is written in enough detail that most coaches find it sufficient on its own. If you'd like to do a 1-on-1 debrief / Mentor Coaching session on the report — discussing specific paths for improvement — scan to add me and we'll arrange it separately, billed by Mentor session.
