Why Idoneity exists
Idoneity was built by safety practitioners who do the job this software serves — OSHA compliance programs, safety management systems, and contractor safety oversight for operating companies.
It started as the tool we wished our own clients had: a qualification platform where every score can be defended in front of an auditor, priced so a mid-sized operator can actually afford it, and built two-sided so contractors aren’t paying for the privilege of re-typing the same questionnaire for every hiring client.
Why the scoring works the way it does
The industry default is to rank contractors on TRIR — a lagging metric that peer-reviewed research has shown to be statistically unstable at the size of most contractor workforces. Rankings built on it are noise wearing a number.
Idoneity’s scoring engine weights validated leading indicators — pre-job planning, safety observations, leadership engagement — 2:1 over lagging metrics, following NIOSH-funded research on safety-management-system scoring and the INGAA Foundation’s published recommendation. Every weight is transparent, every input is auditable. Read the full argument →
