What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| 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 |
