Data-Driven Platform for Cooltural Transformation
Caramelo Escaso Case Study: Cooltura en Acción, by Raíz
Raíz, through its Caramelo Escaso platform, helps organizations measure, understand, and activate their company culture. From real-time Typeform sync to interactive dashboards, their proprietary "Cooltura®" methodology transforms culture from a buzzword into a strategic asset—this tool empowers HR.

THE CHALLENGE
Turning Thick Data into Tangible Insights
Caramelo Escaso needed to help clients move beyond surface-level engagement metrics. They required a system to collect, analyze, and visualize organizational culture data at scale. Without a centralized tool, their process was manual and the diagnostics failed to capture the real gaps. By partnering with us, they got a scalable solution to measure cultural maturity and inform strategic decisions.

OUR SOLUTION
Cooltura®: A Data-Driven Culture Journey from Survey to Powerful Real-Time Analytics Dashboards
Requirements
Simplification
We helped productize a diagnostic model blending quantitative data (16 cultural behaviors) and thick data (AI-enhanced qualitative insights) to pinpoint gaps and prioritize actions for HR and leadership.
Application
Building
We built a React, Next.js, Drizzle, and PostgreSQL solution integrated with Typeform to render cultural results in real-time, processing demographics, annual comparisons, and dynamic graphs with analytics powered by Shadcn and Radix UI.
Prototype
Realease
We delivered in 7 weeks, completing user stories with 97% quality. The MVP included real-time pulse tracking, action dashboards, and a fully branded UI aligned with Caramelo Escaso's identity, making culture measurable/actionable from day one.
