How does the Character Assessment work?

The CHARACTER agent evaluates non-athletic attributes that coaches increasingly weight in recruiting decisions: leadership history (captain, team officer roles), community service, academic trajectory (improving vs. declining), disciplinary record (self-reported, anonymized), and coachability signals from coach references. The assessment generates a Character Index displayed to coaches as a qualitative tier (Elite, Strong, Developing) rather than a numerical score. Families complete a 15-minute structured questionnaire to provide inputs.
