Science-Based Learning

How We Work

A science-based methodology designed for durable behavior change, not just training completion.

The Gravity Method

Design and Delivery Methodology Built in Behavioral Science

Gravity's approach is built on decades of learning science research. Every stage is designed to maximize the transfer of new skills into real-world behavior, not just in-session performance.

01

Explore

We diagnose the real challenge before designing the learning.

02

Align

We define the behaviors that will create the outcomes that matter.

03

Reveal

We show the science behind why the skill works.

04

Rehearse

Participants practice in realistic situations with expert feedback.

05

Transfer

We reinforce application until the skill shows up at work.

06

Measure

We connect behavior change to business impact.

Rooted in Science. Designed to change behavior.

Measurement

We Measure What Actually Matters

Most learning is treated as a “nice to have” because there's no proof it works. Gravity changes that. We apply Kirkpatrick's five-level evaluation model to every engagement, survey participants, peers, and supervisors on real behavior change, and report a conservative, confidence-adjusted ROI you can present to your board.

Kirkpatrick's Five Levels, in Practice

Everyone talks about the Kirkpatrick Model. We live it.

Many learning vendors talk about Kirkpatrick. Gravity Learning measures every single engagement against all five levels.

Custom measurement programs are also available; we'll design tracking around the exact outcomes your leadership team cares about.

Reporting Methodology

A Conservative, Credible Approach to ROI

Our ROI calculation starts with the full cost of the investment: the price of the workshop plus the value of every participant's time away from work. That total is weighed against the productivity and efficiency improvements participants report at 30–90 days, adjusted downward for stated confidence. The result is a number you can stand behind in a board meeting, not one engineered to look good on a slide.

No value assumed

If a value is not reported by a participant, zero is counted. We never fill gaps with averages.

Confidence-corrected

All estimates are adjusted for stated confidence. A respondent 50% confident contributes 50% of their estimate.

Quantifiable only

Only hard numbers enter the ROI calculation. Intangible benefits are documented separately and never inflated into the figure.

First year only

ROI is calculated conservatively for Year 1 only. Most programs generate multi-year returns not captured here.

Measurement Cadence

When Measurement Happens

Learning impact is measured in stages because satisfaction, behavior change, and ROI do not happen at the same moment.
