Purpose
Floor Assessment cross-reference input
This instrument produces normalized cluster percentages — not raw scores — so all four traps are directly comparable regardless of question count. The output feeds the Floor Assessment Facilitator Guide's pre-session cross-reference table and the Compass South (Challenges) direction.

What To Do With This Profile
→Share this profile with your EQV facilitator before the Floor Assessment debrief. The trap percentages replace the Pre-Flight cluster estimates in the cross-reference table.
→Your primary trap determines which challenge category should anchor the South direction of your Compass.
→Any trap scoring above 60% is considered active and should appear in the Floor Assessment Section 3 challenge selection.
→Retake this instrument every 90 days to track profile movement. Decreasing percentages in your primary trap is the success metric.
→Cross-reference with the Pre-Flight Authenticity Score. Significant divergence between the two instruments is itself a coaching data point.
