What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Process Clarity | Can you describe a process clearly, inputs, steps, outputs, failure points? We score the technical clarity of your process description. | Process stages named, failure mode awareness |
| Efficiency Impact | What improved and by how much? We flag stories without a quantified before/after, cost per unit, throughput, error rate, or cycle time. | % improvement, time/cost delta, error reduction |
| Execution Ownership | Did you design and implement the change, or observe it? We detect whether you were the actor or the narrator in your own story. | Personal action verbs, decision ownership |
| STAR Balance | Operations stories often have strong Situations and weak Results. We flag imbalanced structures and help you invest more in Action and Result. | STAR proportion, Result specificity |
How a session works
Step 1: Get your NextEra Energy Operations question
You are assigned questions based on where candidates for this role typically struggle most. Each session starts fresh with a new question targeting a different evaluation dimension.
Step 2: Answer by voice
Speak your answer as you would in a real interview. The AI listens for STAR structure and evaluation dimension signals in real time as you speak.
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.
