How we prove it

Measured isn’t validated. Explainable isn’t auditable. This is the methodology behind those two claims: the numbers, the loop that closes them, and what a real audit record looks like.

What we can already show, and what’s still being finalized

Some of this is settled fact. The validation figures are still in review before we put an exact number behind them, so we’re labeling those honestly rather than rounding to something that sounds finished.

of hiring outcome data

Drawn from millions of candidates who proved their skills through real, job-related work, not a resume.

purpose-built models in production

Trained specifically for skills assessment, then refined against real hiring outcomes ever since.

PendingIn validation

score-to-outcome correlation

The headline validation number: how well an assessment score predicts on-the-job performance, by role family.

PendingIn validation

candidates tracked to outcome

How many hires we followed for six to twelve months to check the prediction against what actually happened.

PendingIn validation

segments validated

The role families and industries where we can currently show the loop closed end to end.

“In validation” means the underlying data exists and is being checked before we publish a figure. We’d rather show you the honest state of the work than a number we can’t stand behind later.

How each step actually works

The manifesto compresses this into four lines. Here’s what sits behind each one.

1

Prove the skill

Candidates complete realistic, job-related work sampled from what the role actually requires, not a personality quiz or a resume screen.

MethodAssessment content is built with subject-matter experts per role family and reviewed for adverse impact before it ships.

2

Validate the score

We track who scored well against how they actually performed on the job, six to twelve months later.

MethodOutcome data comes from customer-reported performance signals, tied back to the original assessment score for that hire.

3

Explain the call

Every score ties back to the rubric that produced it and, where a model is involved, which model made the call.

MethodHiring managers and candidates can see the specific criteria behind a decision, not just a pass or fail label.

4

Audit the record

The decision is recorded in a form that still makes sense to a candidate, legal, or an auditor months later.

MethodA sample of what that record looks like is below.

Explainable in the moment. Auditable months later.

A defensible hiring decision isn’t a gut call with a score attached. It’s a record that still holds up when a candidate asks why, when legal asks for the file, or when an auditor asks for the method.

The panel shows the shape of that record. It’s a composite example built to illustrate the fields, not a real candidate’s data.

This is what we mean when we say trust has to be provable.

If a vendor can’t show you the rubric, the model, and the outcome data behind a score, they’re asking you to trust a hunch dressed up as technology.
