For business owners
The business works. You are the part that stopped working.
You built it to get out of a job and somewhere in the building it became one. Revenue is fine. The calendar is not. You hired someone to take the part you hated, then carried on doing it anyway. You raised prices, rebranded and took a holiday. The holiday proved the business runs without you, and nothing else. The question underneath all of that is whether you still want to run what you built, and that was never a business question.
What we do
We map who you are, then score what you are doing against it.
QuantumThrive Hub builds you a Career Identity Artefact. It comes in two sizes, called builds, and holds three or four separate lenses on who you are, synthesised into one portrait. It also holds an honest score of how well your current position fits that portrait. You get the portrait and the score. What you do with them is your decision.
How it works
How the method works
Your Career Identity Artefact draws on three or four separate lenses on who you are, each one done independently, then synthesised into a single portrait.
Eigenprint Type is our own assessment of how you work: how you take in information, how you decide, how you organise and how you hold up under pressure. You can stop with your Eigenprint Type. On its own, a type describes how you think and make choices, but it will not tell you what to do about them. QuantumThrive Hub reads it alongside further lenses, then weighs them together rather than reporting separate results.
The artefact then scores your current position against that portrait on five measures, so you leave with a number as well as a description. The full method, including what each lens is, where it comes from and what it does not claim, is set out on the method page.
Two builds
Two builds
A build is the personal artefact you receive. Robert Russell, who founded QuantumThrive Hub, makes each one by hand, for one person at a time.
The focused build answers one question, which direction you should go in. Your Eigenprint is your identity signature, made of four lenses. The focused build uses three of them:
- Your Eigenprint Type comes from our free Eigenprint Type Assessment of how you work.
- Eigenprint Path is a number worked out from your birth date.
- Eigenprint Sky is also worked out from your birth date. It places you at one of twelve points in a cycle.
Then the focused build compares where you are now with the three directions that suit you best, using five measures.
The comprehensive build answers three questions: which direction you should go in, what is stopping you, and which year is right to make a change. It adds the fourth lens, based on your name, and a check on which years suit a change.
The readout
Alignment score
An example reading. Your score is unique to you.
The Horizon Builder, Design Cluster. Built the business to get out of a job, and running it has become the job.
- Cognitive fit, 25% of the total
- 6 out of 10
- Preference match, 25% of the total
- 3 out of 10
- Environment fit, 25% of the total
- 8 out of 10
- Development runway, 15% of the total
- 6 out of 10
- Impact potential, 10% of the total
- 4 out of 10
- Alignment
- 5.55 out of 10
What the number says: the setting fits and the day-to-day does not. That points at reshaping the role inside the business rather than leaving it.
Who you will work with
Who builds it
Robert Russell builds every artefact himself. He is a certified Ikigai, life and career coach, and he came to coaching from the work this site is about: entrepreneurship, business development and corporate delivery, with ITIL and Six Sigma along the way. He has run businesses of his own and he has held a role inside a corporate. Many people reading this are in one of those two places now.
The method shows its working. Each lens is named with where it comes from and what it cannot tell you, every score is worked out fresh for you with the reasoning on the page, and where the evidence disagrees with what you told him, the artefact says so. You are trusting a practitioner you can look up and a method you can read, and the method page sets out what it does not claim.
Doubts you may have
What you might be thinking
“I do not have time for this”
The first step is free, takes one sitting, and tells you whether the rest is worth your time. After it there is one session with Robert, and then the build, which asks you for a written intake and a longer set of questions in your own time, and nothing else. Nobody is signing you up to a programme.
Set against that: you have already spent longer than one sitting this month wondering whether you still want the business.
“I know my business. I do not need a personality test”
Agreed on the first half. The artefact is not an assessment of your business and it will not tell you anything about your market you do not already know.
It assesses the fit between the person you are and the role you have built for yourself inside your own company, which is the one thing a founder never gets an outside read on. Nobody appraises the owner.
Questions you may have
How is this different from a business coach?
A business coach works on the business. This works on your fit to the role you occupy inside it. Founders who have already tried coaching usually arrive here because the coaching worked and the discomfort stayed.

Start with the free Eigenprint Type Assessment
The Eigenprint Type Assessment is free, and you can finish it in one sitting. You create an account and answer short questions about what you did in real situations, such as how you replied to messages over the last month. As soon as you finish, you see your Eigenprint Type: a first read of how you take in information, decide, organise and hold up under pressure.
Robert Russell, a career and identity coach at QuantumThrive Hub, then reads your answers. He writes you a customised assessment that goes further than your Type, and it arrives in your account within two business days. The customised assessment is free too.
The free assessment lets you see whether a build is for you before you pay anything. A build is the paid artefact Robert writes for you by hand. The focused build adds two lenses from your birth date. The comprehensive build also adds a lens on your name and when to make your next move in your studies, work or business. After your free result, you can book a coaching session with Robert, and you choose your build with him there.
Who it is not for
Who this is not for
Anyone who wants help finding a job. QuantumThrive Hub does not place people in jobs, write CVs or coach for interviews.
Anyone who needs clinical support. This is coaching. If your situation needs a registered professional, such as a psychologist, Robert tells you so and refers you where that helps.
Anyone who wants to be told what to do. The artefact gives you a portrait, a score and reasoning. The decision stays with you.
