"WE EVALUATE PEOPLE'S DECISIONS, NOT HOW THEY PRESENT THEIR RESPONSES."
Get to Know Our Process
The Credencis Behavioral Analysis Screening Tool (CBAST) is a structured evaluation framework that examines how individuals process, organize, and communicate information to identify potential risk indicators before hiring or leadership decisions are made.
The analysis focuses on patterns of reasoning and expressed intent, not on determining truth or deception in isolation.
Findings help organizations focus subsequent interviews, explore areas requiring clarification, and make more informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how the Credencis Behavioral Analysis Screening Tool (CBAST) supports more focused interviews and better-informed hiring, leadership, and risk-related decisions.
I. Understanding CBAST
What is pre-interview behavioral analysis?
Pre-interview behavioral analysis examines how individuals organize, prioritize, and communicate information through structured written responses. It provides additional insight before interview performance begins influencing the evaluation process.
How is Credencis different from a personality assessment?
Personality assessments typically measure traits, preferences, or self-reported tendencies. CBAST focuses on how information is processed and organized during a structured task rather than categorizing personality style.
Is CBAST the same as graphology or traditional handwriting analysis?
No. CBAST does not interpret handwriting style, pen pressure, or personality characteristics from penmanship. It evaluates the organization and content of written responses using structured behavioral criteria.
Is CBAST an AI-based predictive tool?
No. CBAST uses structured evaluation criteria informed by behavioral research. It does not rely on personality algorithms, emotional-recognition technology, or automated predictions about future behavior.
II. How the Process Supports Decisions
What types of decisions can CBAST support?
CBAST may support hiring, promotion, succession planning, leadership evaluation, investigative review, and other high-impact decisions. It is intended to add structure and focus, not make the final decision.
How does CBAST improve interview quality?
CBAST identifies areas that may benefit from clarification before the interview. This allows interviewers to ask more focused questions and rely less heavily on confidence, presentation style, or first impressions.
Can CBAST help reduce hiring risk?
CBAST does not replace interviews, reference checks, or other established evaluation methods. It can help organizations identify questions that may otherwise go unexplored and support a more deliberate decision process.
What are early risk indicators?
Early risk indicators are patterns that may suggest a need for further clarification, such as inconsistencies in reasoning, difficulty organizing information, or changes in how key details are presented. They are not conclusions or diagnoses.
III. Appropriate Use and Limitations
Does CBAST determine whether someone is truthful?
No. CBAST does not determine truthfulness, diagnose deception, or establish intent. It identifies patterns or inconsistencies that may warrant additional questions during the interview or review process.
Is CBAST legally defensible for employment decisions?
CBAST is a non-diagnostic screening framework designed to support a structured and documented evaluation process. Employers remain responsible for ensuring that its use complies with applicable employment laws, organizational policies, and regulatory requirements.
