**Key Features of the New System**
1. **Balanced Weighting:**
- Both cultures use a **5-point scale per question** (e.g., Strongly Disagree = 1, Strongly Agree = 5), ensuring fairness and granularity.
2. **Simplified Interpretation:**
- Scores categorize candidates into **Strong/Moderate/Low** alignment tiers for quick decision-making.
3. **Hybrid Benchmark:**
- Emphasizes the hybrid culture (innovation + collaboration) with a **total score threshold** (≥35).
4. **Actionable Insights:**
- Example: A candidate scoring **Adhocracy 18/25** and **Clan 16/20** (Total 34/45) would need mentorship in risk-taking but excel in teamwork.
