What gets scored in every session

Dimension What it measures How to answer
Behavioral Judgment Did you demonstrate independent, principled judgment, or defer to process? We score whether your decisions show you actually made a call. Personal decision ownership, non-default choices
Talent Decision Quality Were your hiring or performance decisions data-informed and clearly reasoned? We probe the criteria used, not just the outcome. Explicit evaluation criteria, decision rationale
Empathy + Rigor Balance Strong HR answers demonstrate both. We flag answers that are all empathy with no accountability, or all accountability with no emotional intelligence. Dual signal in employee relations stories
Outcome Specificity 'We resolved it' is not an outcome. We look for a downstream result, for the employee, the team, or the business. Specific outcome, retention signal, business impact

Step 3: Get scored dimension by dimension

Instant scores across all four rubric dimensions. Each gets a score, a flagged weakness, and a specific sentence-level fix, not 'be more specific' but which sentence to rewrite and why.

Step 4: Re-answer and track improvement

Revise based on feedback and answer again. See the before/after score change. Your weakness profile updates across sessions so practice becomes more targeted over time.
