Inside this issue
A magazine for people making serious decisions about people.
This issue presents SQUARED SQ as a social capital analytics and human capital development platform for individuals, companies, schools, MBA programs, researchers, and brands.
The invisible side of performance is often relational.
SQUARED SQ helps people and organizations understand the social dynamics that shape trust, collaboration, belonging, influence, and shared value.

Most decisions about people are made with incomplete information. Résumés, interviews, references, grades, titles, and surface-level personality tools can miss the deeper question: how do people create value through relationships?

SQUARED SQ answers that question through social capital analytics. It translates human interaction into measurable insight, giving individuals and organizations a richer way to understand alignment, trust, collaboration, leadership potential, learning orientation, and network support.

The goal is not to reduce people to scores. The goal is to make better human decisions with better evidence.

Social Value Metrics
A structured system for measuring relational value.
SQUARED SQ’s Social Value Metrics evaluates nine core social variables across 18 value categories, using more than 300 social capital indicators collected through a six-part questionnaire process.
