Cognitrom

What Cognitrom does

Cognitrom SRL is a privately-held Romanian research and development organization headquartered in Cluj-Napoca that develops, validates, and distributes computerized psychological assessment instruments for the Romanian market. The company's core technology consists of three age-stratified assessment platforms — CAS++ for adults (18+), PEDa for children aged 3-6/7, and PEDb for children and adolescents aged 6/7-18/19 — collectively incorporating over 50 validated tests with automated scoring and interpretive report generation through the proprietary Cognitrom Test Scorer (CTS). All instruments are localized with Romanian population norms and accredited by the Romanian College of Psychologists (COPSI/CPR), with CAS++ holding indefinite accreditation.

The product portfolio extends into 15+ specialized individual assessments (OMNI-IV, BDEFS, EFX-A, DASS-21R, EMAS, CASE-SF, SACS, CSI-4, ASI-4, APS-SF, NEPSY) covering personality disorders, executive functioning, mood, anxiety, coping, and clinical screening across lifespan. Distribution is via direct e-commerce for individual practitioners and contract-based sales for organizations, paired with mandatory certification training. Per-user license fees range from 6,500-10,500 lei for CAS++ and 450-2,100 lei for individual tests; recurring revenue comes from 300-400 lei annual subscriptions, additional certifications (300-2,000 lei), and HASP hardware security keys (7,600-8,000 lei for intranet variants).

The customer base of 2,554 certified psychologists spans three primary segments — clinical and mental-health professionals, school psychologists and educational institutions, and organizational/HR buyers — supplemented by named enterprise accounts (iQuest, Endava, Sandoz, GSP, Hirschmann) and the government employment agency ANOFM. Operations are confined to Romania; no international expansion, external funding, or M&A activity is disclosed. Product cadence is active, with CAS++ v4.0, EFX-A, and the upcoming PEDa/PEDb v4.0 driving coordinated portfolio refreshes through 2025-2026.
