Military & DHS

Trusted by the Nation’s

Most Elite Units

SelectSure™ and TrainSure™, powered by GideonSoft, have become trusted platforms for U.S. Military Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) professionals seeking to modernize Assessment & Selection (A&S) processes and automate training pipelines. The impact has been realized across numerous commands and multi-skill, multi-site training environments, improving how organizations identify, select, train, and develop their most capable operators.

Tools to Strengthen Selection &

Automate the Training Pipeline

From capturing structured evaluations and training data in austere environments to enabling rapid decision-making through cross-site visibility, GideonSoft equips leaders with the tools needed to streamline compliance, reduce errors, and accelerate readiness.

Real-Time, Field-Ready Evaluation

Log structured observations in real time, even offline.

Consistent & Transparent Evaluation

Standardized rubrics to reduce bias and improve fairness.

Centralized Training Data

Unify modules, learner profiles, and skill tracks in one system.

Automated Tracking & Alerts

Eliminate manual updates with auto-generated readiness reports.

Proof of Impact

How Government & Defense Used SelectSure™ and TrainSure™ to

Build Readiness

Before implementation, training administrators faced challenges with disjointed data, labor-intensive coordination, and limited visibility across systems, making it difficult to track progress for thousands of personnel across numerous operational locations. Their legacy systems presented several key challenges:

Fragmented and Manual Data Collection: Candidate evaluations were recorded on paper or across siloed systems, leading to data loss and slow aggregation.
Delayed Decision Making: Leadership often had to wait until the end of selection events to review compiled performance data, delaying critical decisions.
Subjectivity and Bias: Without a unified structure, evaluations varied widely between cadre members, increasing the risk of inconsistent candidate outcomes.
Lack of Operational Fit: Legacy tools were not adaptable to dynamic, austere environments where many assessments were conducted, limiting their practical utility in the field.

Key Capabilities

The SelectSure™ Solution in Action

SelectSure™ addressed these pain points and transformed A&S operations in the following ways:

Cadre used mobile devices, even offline, to capture structured observations at the point of performance, enabling candidate profiles to evolve in real time and giving command teams visibility into performance trends as they unfolded.

Standardized rubrics improved inter-rater reliability, while centralized dashboards enabled leaders to compare candidates across key performance dimensions to ensure fair, defensible decisions.

Minimal training was required, as the platform mirrored the natural workflow of experienced assessors.

Live analytics enabled selection boards to make rapid, data-informed decisions, often before the event concluded, while reducing administrative burden and freeing cadre to focus on coaching, mentoring, and scenario execution.

Key Capabilities

TrainSure™ Automation & Integration

With TrainSure™, organizations transitioned to a fully integrated, cloud-based training management system. Key capabilities included:

All training modules, learner profiles, and skill tracks were consolidated into a unified database, accessible in real time across multiple locations.

TrainSure™ enabled role-specific training paths with multi-skill dependencies, automatically adjusting learning plans as personnel changed assignments or completed prerequisites.

The platform auto-tracked individual progress and generated site-level readiness reports without manual intervention.

Leadership gained immediate insight into training status across all facilities – enabling resource reallocation, targeted upskilling, and gap mitigation.
