Candidates solve a real scenario
They read a real-world business problem — dormant CRM, support meltdown, budget blowout — and write how they'd use AI to solve it.
You see how they think
AI scores their thinking across 5 dimensions. You see why they scored what they scored — and what a great answer looks like.
See the difference
Same scenario. Two very different minds.
The prompt tourist
“Just have AI fix the support tickets and make it faster. Use a chatbot or something to answer questions automatically. Should improve things.”
The AI-native thinker
“Analyse the 18 months of Zendesk data — which categories take longest, which have worst CSAT. Start with billing (35% of volume). Build an AI triage agent for the top 20 ticket types. Target: response under 2 hours, CSAT above 4.0. Pilot 2 weeks, measure delta before scaling.”
The pattern: explore first, narrow the scope, define targets, test before scaling.
6 scenarios
Not just for developers.
Each candidate gets a random real-world scenario. The thinking pattern is the same — the context changes every time.
CRM reactivation
100K dormant contacts
Support overhaul
500 tickets/day, 14hr wait
Content strategy
50K visitors, 0.3% converts
Financial anomaly
23% expense spike
Feature prioritisation
140+ requests, 4 slots
Session timeout bug
Token expired after idle
The rubric
Five habits. One thinking pattern.
Scope it
Narrow the problem. Start with the highest-impact segment, not boil the ocean.
Clarify it
Name the numbers. Specific metrics, timeline, constraints — not just vibes.
Explore first
Analyse the data before building anything. Look before you leap.
Define done
Set a measurable target. 'Improve CSAT' is a wish. 'Above 4.0 in 30 days' is a goal.
Verify it
Include a test step. A pilot, a comparison, a way to prove it worked.
Authenticity
Did they actually think it through? We track keystrokes, paste events, and tab switches.
The talent market just split in two.
People who use AI as a force multiplier. And people who don't. The most valuable hire in 2026 won't have 15 years of experience — they'll have 15 months of building with AI, and the thinking to show for it.

Your dashboard
More than a score. A thinking breakdown.
For every candidate, you see exactly why they scored what they scored. What they got right. What they missed. And what a great answer looks like — so you can evaluate their thinking even if you're not technical.
Built for real hiring
The people AI was built to find.
“I used to spend 20 minutes per candidate trying to gauge their AI fluency from a CV. Now I send a link and get a scored breakdown in 5 minutes.”
Sarah Chen
Talent Lead, Tech Startup
“The before/after example on each result is brilliant. I can explain to my hiring manager exactly why one candidate outscored another — even for non-technical roles.”
James Aramoana
Recruitment Manager
“We caught three candidates who pasted their answers from ChatGPT. The authenticity tracking alone makes this worth it.”
