About
Assessment data, handled like flight data.
I’m Sean Fennig, an aerospace engineer. In my engineering work I move and clean
datasets far larger than anything an assessment practice will ever hand me. The
difficulty here isn’t volume — it’s that every single value has to be
right, and someone is currently typing them in by hand.
I don’t interpret results and I don’t advise on decisions. I handle the data
around them, and that boundary isn’t reluctance — it’s the whole design
of the service. Your professional judgment is the product; the transcription, formatting,
and file wrangling around it shouldn’t be costing you evenings.
I’ve built and shipped one of these pipelines end to end for a psychological
consulting practice. It replaced manual transcription from scored PDF reports with
automated extraction and report assembly, and it’s still in daily use. I can’t
say more about that client without their permission — if you’d like to speak
to a reference, ask me and I’ll go and get one.
The work I’ve done so far is in selection and leadership development —
Watson-Glaser, MBTI, Strong, CPI, and the like. The pipeline doesn’t much care what
the instrument measures, but you should know where my hands-on experience actually is.
Worth saying plainly: AeroPoint is deliberately small. I run it alongside a full-time
engineering job and take on a few projects at a time, on purpose. What you get for that
is the person who actually built your pipeline answering your email, usually within a
business day. I have a track record of fixing all found bugs within 24 hours and will personally
manually generate reports if required. What you don’t get is a team of ten by next month — if
that’s what your timeline needs, I’ll tell you on the first call.
