ECCI Competency Framework
The Experiential, Cognitive, Contextual, Integrative (ECCI) Model™ defines, develops, and assesses the human competencies that distinguish expert interpreters — beyond linguistic accuracy alone.
Five Core Domains
Weighted scoring reflects each domain's contribution to the composite ECCI score
EI 25%
CQ 25%
MR 30%
RS 10%
RP 10%
Composite ECCI Score = (EI × 0.25) + (CQ × 0.25) + (MR × 0.30) + (RS × 0.10) + (RP × 0.10)

Three-Layer Interpreting Model
Excellence requires all three layers — accuracy is just the beginning
Layer 3 — Mastery
Emotional Resonance
Preserving the emotional truth, intent, and relational meaning of communication
Layer 2 — Bridge
Cultural Agility
Adapting meaning across cultural contexts, power dynamics, and social norms
Layer 1 — Foundation
Language Accuracy
Correct vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic structure in both languages
Most training stops at Layer 1. The ECCI Model develops all three.
