360 feedback is powerful.Running it is a nightmare.
A full 360 cycle used to cost HR about 12 hours per leader. With Pulse360, it is closer to 2. AI runs the admin. You run the conversation.

You have tried to make 360 work. The math does not.
Three constraints explain why most 360 programs stall before they scale. Each one came back in every design-partner interview we ran.
Building the questionnaire, calibrating scales, chasing responses, compiling the report. By the time the conversation happens, the context has moved on.
Pattern-matching across qualitative 360 reports is a cognitive load task. Research on thematic analysis places the consistency ceiling at roughly 12 to 15 units per analyst. Past that, fatigue compounds and signal quality drops. Your team has dozens of leaders to assess.
External firms run clean 360s, but every cycle is a wait, a PO, and a per-engagement bill. Scaling means linearly more spend, and the institutional knowledge walks out at the end of each engagement.
Pulse360 was built after interviewing 11 talent managers across 8 companies (500 to 5,000 employees). The patterns above came back every single time.
These are the operational problems. The structural ones sit one layer up. See Pulse Suite for why tool sprawl keeps them stuck.
The four numbers that change.
Running a 360 is a weeks-long effort today. Pulse360 does not make the weeks vanish, but it collapses the work inside them. These are the four deltas our design partners measured.

Plug in your numbers.
Grounded in the 12h to 2h delta measured in our design-partner cycles. Every assumption is editable.
Math: internal 360s times 10 hours saved times hourly cost, plus external 360s times per-360 consultant fee. All four assumptions are editable above.
Five steps. Three hubs. One cycle.
Pulse360 is organised around three hubs that mirror how HR actually runs a 360. Click any step to preview it live.
What changes, beyond the numbers.
Saving hours is the obvious story. The real shift is who does what in the cycle, and where the value gets created.
