Depth when you grow into it

Start with automated scoring and add networked themes, AI grading, or custom formulas as your methodology matures.

Feedback that feels written

AI drafts each respondent's narrative from their actual scores — and they can ask follow-up questions live.

Reports worth sharing

A tile canvas turns results into an interactive, on-brand report, not a static results screen.

The honest take

Agolix is a genuinely simpler, lower-cost way to get a basic scored assessment online, and for weighted totals with a clean results page it does the job well. Choose Ascent when your methodology needs more than one scoring model, real benchmarking, and feedback that reads like it was written for each respondent.
