“The Mythoclast report is very informative, useful and professional… We will start implementing the recommendations.” Bader Al-Adulwahab, Partner, Tarkiz Mythoclast diagnosed process issues across the feasibility study team, pinpointing exactly where capability was missing.

Most organisations invest heavily in training.

Few can prove it builds actual capability.

The gap between completion and competence is where performance is lost.

12%
of employees apply new skills from training to their jobs
£295B
spent on corporate training annually - most impact unmeasured
Training is measured by attendance, not ability
Completion rates tell you who showed up. They tell you nothing about whether your people can actually perform when it matters.
You can't see who's missing skills
Throwing blank cheques at training doesn't reveal who's missing skills. You can't target your resources where they need to be.
The cost of incompetence is invisible... until it isn't
Capability gaps hide in plain sight until: a project fails, a client is lost, or a regulator asks questions your team can't answer.

L&D doesn't have a spending problem.
It has a performance problem.

Built on 30 years of learning science: one ecosystem, two routes to competence. Mythoclast diagnoses exactly where capability stands. Athelion Learning closes the gaps the way memory actually works, Praedyth closes them through conversation, and each route's analytics proves it.

Diagnose

You stop guessing who needs what.

Pinpoints exactly where performance gaps exist, without over-testing, across Knowledge, Environment, Skills and Behaviour. Adapted from Gilbert's BEM and Moore's Action Mapping.

Time-to-competency shrinks, because learning is targeted, retained and never wasted.

Closes the gaps Mythoclast finds, using Knowledge Space Theory to sequence learning in the order that makes sense for each learner. Each path updates in real time, across ten learners or ten thousand.

Prove

Analytics

Prove who can perform, not just who attended.

Every diagnostic and learning step feeds one clear view of progress and remaining gaps: verified, exportable competence you can report to leadership.

Learners practise the conversations that matter, out loud.

A voice-led tutor that listens for understanding. Learners talk through real scenarios, and every answer becomes evidence of mastery.

Founded on the principle that real impact comes from diagnosis, then delivery.

The research is clear.

Two high-stakes capability domains. The same systemic failure. And a growing body of evidence showing what precision learning actually changes.

Safety - Energy & Aviation
Outdated models

Everyone completes the safety course. Nobody can prove who's actually competent.

Same content, same schedule, regardless of what each person already knows. Completion is certified; competence is assumed.

80%

of aviation and energy safety incidents involve human error, not equipment failure

ICAO (2019) / IOGP safety data

Our advantage

We pinpoint exactly who has the gap before the risk becomes an incident.

Athelion maps each person's safety competency against their role, so training goes only where real gaps exist and leaves a defensible record of verified competence.

Built on Knowledge Space Theory (Doignon & Falmagne, 1985): adaptive assessment of each person's competency without over-testing.

Soft skills - Leadership & Communication
Outdated models

Soft skills training is the most delivered, and the least retained, investment in L&D.

Programmes roll out to whole teams on fixed schedules, and without personalisation the forgetting curve works against every cohort.

74%

of organisations are failing to develop the skills needed to execute their strategies.

Josh Bersin Company (2026)

Our advantage

We make soft skills as diagnostically precise and as measurably effective as any technical capability.

Mythoclast finds each behavioural gap, Athelion targets it, and Praedyth has learners practise it out loud, so it's retained and applied, not forgotten by the end of the week.

Grounded in retrieval practice and cognitive load theory, applied through evidence-based instructional design.

Built on a belief that learning changes lives

We commit 5% of net profit to organisations that improve access to education for children in the regions where we work and beyond. We are actively identifying partners whose values and rigour match ours.
