The pre-assessment sends itself
Nothing to do

Automatic
When a client books an assessment, they automatically receive the pre-assessment link. You send nothing, chase nothing.
!
Only exception — a walk-in who hasn't filled it in (rare): portal home → tap Copy pre-assessment link → send it to them.

Submitted = filed
Client file created · 17 symptom clusters scored · appears under “To review”

Tap Assessments on the portal home — the badge counts new submissions.

2
Open anyone marked “To review”.

3
Scan the clusters. Red = dig here. Tap a cluster to see the answers behind the score.

Leave with a hypothesis: what you'd coach first, second — and what you'd leave for now.

Run the in-person assessment
During the
assessment hour

1
Tap Start in-person assessment — from the Assessments page or the client's file.

2
The client is pre-selected. Fill sections 1–6 as you go: scan, movement screens, Cooper, verdict, package.

Submit once. Done.
Use the same email as their pre-assessment — that's what links the records.
Automatic
On submit: client → Active and assigned · records linked · pre-assessment Reviewed · email to the coach with Dan & Jen in copy.

Open a client's file
Any time — it's the
source of truth
source of truth
1
My clients → tap a name. Tabs filter: leads, yours, everyone.

2
Top of the file = this week. Trends and flags first; recommendations and both assessments below.

3
Fix things at the bottom: Manage client. Assign or change the coach, pause, or archive — no Airtable needed. Archive hides, never deletes.

Covering for a colleague? Read the file top to bottom — you'll coach like you've known them for months.

Weekly check-ins
Before every
session · ~2 min
session · ~2 min
Automatic
Clients receive their check-in email every week — you send nothing. Submissions land on their file flagged NEW, and mark themselves Reviewed once you've looked.
1
Before each session, open their file. The newest week is expanded — open with their win.

Adjust from data, not memory
