Smarter Matching for Mentoring Programs That Need to Work

The right match can make the difference between a program people remember and one they quietly leave behind.

Pollinate uses Cross-Pollinate AI™ to combine strategy, participant insight and KTI assessment results to create stronger, more meaningful mentoring connections.

What is Cross-Pollinate AI™?

Cross-Pollinate AI™ is Pollinate’s advanced matching approach for building mentoring pairs, peer groups, teams, and cohorts with a stronger chance of success.

It gathers the details that matter, including experience, expertise, goals, competencies, interests, and preferences, then combines them with the Knowledge Transfer Index (KTI) to understand how people learn, communicate, and collaborate.

The result is a more intentional, explainable matching process that helps participants build trust faster and gives leaders confidence in the program.

Pollinate’s Knowledge Transfer Index

The Knowledge Transfer Index (KTI) is Pollinate’s proprietary psychometric assessment that gives deeper insight into how each participant prefers to learn, share knowledge, make decisions, and work with others.

Integrated into Cross-Pollinate AI™, the KTI helps match participants in ways that support communication, trust, mutual understanding, and productive relationships. It moves programs beyond surface-level criteria and creates a stronger foundation for measurable outcomes.

Use Cross-Pollinate AI™ to form and refine mentoring pairs, peer groups, and cohorts around the goals your program is designed to achieve.

The KTI is Focused on 4 Core Areas:

How people seek and understand information
Ecosystem icon.
How people give and receive support
Eye icon.
How people share their perspective
Lightbulb icon.
How people use what they learn

Cross-Pollinate AI™ uses the KTI to help match people with learning partners based on:
