The chase-down tax
Roughly a third of assignments only get done after someone chases them — reminder emails, manager escalations, and a tracking spreadsheet nobody trusts.

Learning path design, deployment & compliance — for the modern era.
SkillPulse designs role-specific learning paths with AI, deploys them as two-minute pulses inside the chat tools your people already use, and proves every completion with an audit-ready evidence trail — no additional administrative headcount required.

The problem
“Please complete your training” is a full-time job
If you are accountable for mandatory training — as a CHRO, a compliance officer, or the leader who inherited the responsibility — the pattern is familiar: reminders, spreadsheets, escalations, and a deadline-week scramble. Every quarter.
90%
The deadline-cliff cram
People click through a 45-minute module the night it's due — and forget about 90% of it within a week. Compliant on paper, exposed in practice.
Consistent with the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve without reinforcement.2.7×
The cost of getting it wrong
Industry research puts the cost of non-compliance — fines, findings, remediation, disruption — at roughly 2.7× the cost of simply staying compliant.

Model assumptions: a 45-minute traditional module ≈ 10 minutes of SkillPulse pulses; manual programs require ~0.45 administrative FTE per 500 employees for follow-up, tracking & reporting, 95% of which is automated; on-time completion reaches 97%; risk modeled as a 10% annual probability of a completion-related audit finding (≈$150k fully loaded) at 35% incompletion, scaling linearly; annual employee cost converts at 2,080 working hours per year. Estimates are directional, built on the best information available; during a trial we baseline your actual completion and administration data and refine the model with you.
Manual program vs. SkillPulse
| The job to be done | Manual + legacy LMS | With SkillPulse |
|---|---|---|
| Reach 95%+ on-time completion | Weeks of reminder emails, escalation spreadsheets, manager pings | Automatic — nudges, streaks & smart escalation built in |
| Time per module | 45–60 min of seat time, scheduled around real work | ~10 min of 2-minute pulses, in the flow of work |
| Retention after 30 days | ~10% — one-and-done modules fade fast | 80%+ via patent-pending spaced recall |
| Evidence for auditors | Screenshots, CSV exports, and manual reconciliation | One click — time-stamped, xAPI/SCORM-native trail |
| Team required to run it | 1–2 dedicated administrators plus an LMS consultant | ~2 hrs/month of oversight |
| Employee experience | A separate portal, a separate login, a blocked calendar slot | Completed in the flow of work — no portal, no seat time |
How it works
Assign it once. SkillPulse handles the other 99 steps.
Assign the requirement
Pick a policy pack (privacy, security, harassment prevention, safety…) or import your own SCORM/xAPI content. Set the audience and the deadline. That's the whole setup.
Pulses follow up, so you don't
The Pulse Engine™ breaks each requirement into 2-minute nudges, times them to each person's calendar — typically right after meetings, when attention is available — and escalates appropriately as deadlines approach.
Evidence writes itself
Every completion is time-stamped into an auditor-ready trail and synced to your LMS or HRIS. Deadline week becomes a dashboard review, not an escalation exercise.
Patent pending
Under the hood: the Pulse Engine™
The logic that decides what to teach, when to nudge, and how to prove it — the part competitors can't copy-paste.
Meeting-aware timing
Nudges land in the natural gap right after a call ends — the moment attention is free and response rates triple. No interruptions mid-focus.
Adaptive spaced recall
Each concept is re-tested precisely when it's about to be forgotten, per learner. Compliance stops being an annual click-through and becomes a durable habit.
Evidence graph
Every pulse, answer, and escalation is chained into a tamper-evident record — exportable as xAPI, cmi5, or a plain-English audit packet.
Beyond compliance
A learning engine for everything else
The same platform that closes your compliance gap gives every employee an on-demand curriculum — governed, safe, and measurable. Type "learn", name a topic, and a reviewed path arrives in seconds — in Teams, Slack, or Google Chat.
Learn anything, anytime — from chat
An employee types "learn," names a topic and level, and the enterprise chat engine assembles a complete learning path in seconds — no catalog browsing, no tickets to L&D.
Tri-Model Course StudioWorkplace-safe by design
Course generation runs through a custom three-model pipeline: one model drafts the curriculum, an independent safety model screens every lesson for workplace-appropriate content and policy alignment, and a third verifies factual accuracy. Nothing reaches an employee unreviewed.
Manager approval workflow
Generated and custom courses route to the appropriate manager or compliance owner before publishing — with version history, comments, and a full approval log. Governance is built in, not bolted on.
Gamification at the department level
Department leaderboards, team streaks, and quarterly seasons make progress visible where it matters — while individual results stay private to the learner and their manager.
Integrations
Native to your chat. Fluent in your stack.
Deployed as a bot in three chat platforms today — Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google Chat — and interoperable with the leading HCM, LMS, identity, and integration platforms through the open standards your auditors already know.

We went from 71% to 98% on-time completion in one quarter — and I deleted the chasing spreadsheet. Our auditors asked what changed.
We don't have an L&D team. SkillPulse is the L&D team — I set the requirements and read the dashboard.
FAQ
Questions compliance owners ask us
Every pulse, answer, and completion is time-stamped into the Evidence Graph and exportable in one click — as xAPI/cmi5 statements to your LMS, or as a plain-English audit packet (who, what, when, score, escalation history). No screenshots, no reconstructed spreadsheets.
The Pulse Engine escalates gracefully: it retimes nudges to moments the person actually responds, then loops in their manager as the deadline nears, and finally flags them on your compliance dashboard. You only ever deal with the last 2–3%, not the whole org.
Yes. Import SCORM 1.2/2004, cmi5, or xAPI packages and SkillPulse converts them into pulse sequences, or link out to modules that must stay in your LMS and let SkillPulse handle the chasing and evidence. Policy packs for common requirements are included.
No. Many customers without a mature learning team run SkillPulse standalone — assignments, delivery, tracking, and evidence all live here. If you later adopt an LMS, your full history exports with you via open standards.
Our filed applications cover the Pulse Engine™ — the method of scheduling micro-learning against meeting and calendar signals, the adaptive spaced-recall model, and the tamper-evident completion chain. It's the core logic of the product, not a cosmetic feature.
No — it is a transparent model with stated assumptions, intended to frame the decision. During your trial we baseline your actual completion rates and administrative hours, and rebuild the estimate with your real data before you commit.
Your card is charged for the plan and seats you chose. Change seats, switch billing cycles, or cancel any time before the trial ends and you won't be charged a cent.
