What the exam is, and what it's actually measuring.
Three hours. Seventy-eight situational items. Every one is asking the same underlying question in different clothes: when the moment heats up, do you stay inside the coaching partnership, or drift into advice, therapy, rescue, or the coach's own agenda?
Work through the eight competencies. Click any card to read its full PCC Markers and the difference between PCC and ACC level. Mark a card as read in the modal when you're ready — star anything you want to revisit.

The eight competencies
Click any card for PCC Markers & depthItem format
Each item is a coaching scenario followed by four response options. You select both the best response and the worst response. Only the correct best and correct worst earn credit — other options may be reasonable but will not score. Drag-and-drop interface on the real exam.
Pacing & flagging
Roughly two minutes seven seconds per item if you spread evenly. Most items will take less. Flag anything over ninety seconds and come back. Flag is a tool, not a failure. Unanswered items can be reviewed before exiting a section.
The whole exam, in plain language.
Read through the guide in order, or jump to what's open. Sections you've opened are marked on the contents. Click any competency reference inside a section to pull up the PCC Markers detail from the Framework.
Situational judgment, with real teeth.
Every item gives you a coaching scenario and four response options. Pick the best and the worst — the other two may be reasonable but score zero, same as the real exam. After you submit, the rationale shows what to listen for next time.

When you click Generate, the tool returns guidance across three layers — each collapsible. Written to be scanned fast before a session.
ICF-aligned
- Coaching objective for the case
- Agreement language at the current stage
- Layered questions for this stage + next
- Reflective summaries to keep in pocket
- Watchouts · drift points to catch
- Ethical flags from case content
- PCC-level elevation moves
iPEC layer
- Acknowledge vs Validate — for this emotion
- Clearing sequence (when emotion > low)
- Gremlin · whose voice is talking
- Energy level read (1–7)
- AIM SMART scaffold (action/awareness stages)
- GAILS structure for close
Self-coaching
- Notice in the client
- Notice in yourself
- Possible next-step pathways

Generation mode
Use Claude API for richer generation
Template mode uses stage and emotion lookups. API mode sends your case to Claude and returns coaching prep that actually references the client's specifics. Guests always use template mode.

Supabase Edge Function · coach-generate
Deploy this function to your Supabase project. It authenticates against your Supabase session, passes the request through to Anthropic, and returns the response. Your Anthropic API key lives in Supabase secrets, never in the browser.
1. Deploy the function
// supabase/functions/coach-generate/index.ts
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.168.0/http/server.ts"
import { createClient } from "https://esm.sh/@supabase/supabase-js@2"
serve(async (req) => {
// CORS preflight
if (req.method === "OPTIONS") {
return new Response(null, {
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "authorization, content-type",
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST, OPTIONS",
},
})
}
// Auth check
const authHeader = req.headers.get("Authorization")
if (!authHeader) return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 })
const supabase = createClient(
Deno.env.get("SUPABASE_URL")!,
Deno.env.get("SUPABASE_ANON_KEY")!,
{ global: { headers: { Authorization: authHeader } } }
)
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
if (!user) return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 })
// Forward to Anthropic
const body = await req.json()
const response = await fetch("https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"x-api-key": Deno.env.get("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")!,
"anthropic-version": "2023-06-01",
},
body: JSON.stringify(body),
})
const data = await response.json()
return new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
},
})
})2. Set secrets
supabase secrets set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key-here
supabase functions deploy coach-generate3. Paste the URL into settings
The URL looks like
https://<project>.supabase.co/functions/v1/coach-generate. Find it in your Supabase dashboard under Edge Functions. Paste it into the Proxy URL field and save.4. Cost envelope
One Coach generation uses roughly 1,500 input + 2,000 output tokens. At Sonnet rates, about $0.011 per generation. At $5/month budget, that's roughly 450 generations. Opus runs ~4x higher; Haiku ~5x lower.
5. Restricting to your email
If you want only your Supabase account to be able to call the proxy, add this after the user check:
if (user.email !== "your@email.com") {
return new Response("Forbidden", { status: 403 })

T-Goal · capture at opening
Before exploring, capture the client's Tangible Goal for this session in their own words — time-bound, specific, measurable. This anchors the agreement and gives you something concrete to return to at close.
Timer

3 questions to consider
2 things to notice
1 watchout
Presence
Less of you. More space. The next question is probably the silence.
How to use
Glanceable, not readable.
The Companion is designed for peripheral vision, not focus. If you find yourself reading it during a session, you've already left your client.
Setup
Open this in a second window, small, positioned at the edge of your screen or on a second monitor. Load the session before the client arrives — topic, stage, length. Capture the T-Goal in their own words once they name it.
During session
Glance, do not read. The three columns exist so your peripheral vision can find the column you need without focused reading. When you feel pulled to advise, the watchout column is your anchor.
Nudges
At halfway, ten minutes from close, and overtime, a colored band appears below the timer. Each fires once per session. They're prompts to return to the agreement, pivot to close, or wrap gracefully.
Stage transitions
Change the Stage dropdown as the session moves. The cues regenerate instantly without disturbing the timer. Keep the timer running through transitions; only Reset between clients.
iPEC framework · for action design
AIM SMART — find the range, then the step.
When the session moves to action, walk the client through both tiers. AIM finds the range; SMART chooses the step.

TTimingWhen? By when?
Develop the coach, not just the technique.
Reflection is a two-beat practice. First, audit the mechanics: what happened, what you noticed, what you drifted on. Then write the narrative: the moments that mattered and what you'll take into the next session.
Session
Basic context. Keep the client reference short and non-identifying — initials or a code you'll recognize.
Session date
Client reference
Stage where most time landed
Quick audit
Structured check-in — takes under three minutes. Answer what you know; skip what you don't.

Where did you drift? Check all that apply.
Honesty here is the point — no one else sees it.
When emotion surfaced, what did you do? Check all that apply.
Where did the client seem to operate from, energetically?
iPEC energy levels — best guess is fine.
Was anything ethically live in this session?
Confidentiality, scope, dual role, power, referral, AI/data.
Yes — named it
Yes — didn't name
No
Narrative reflection
A few open prompts — answer what has heat for you. Two substantive answers is enough for a read.
The moment that mattered most
What opened, shifted, or landed — for them or for you?
What I missed, in hindsight
The doorway that was opened and that you walked past.
Where I stayed vs where I pulled away
What the client took from this session (as far as you know)
What I'll try differently next time
