What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Framework | Do you articulate how you made the decision, not just what you decided? We score clarity of reasoning, criteria used, and how you handled conflicting inputs. | Explicit criteria, trade-off acknowledgment |
| Accountability Signal | Do you own outcomes, including failures? We flag answers that attribute success to the team without claiming personal strategic contribution. | Personal ownership of decision and outcome |
| Influence Architecture | How did you move people who didn't report to you? We evaluate whether you relied on authority or persuasion. | Cross-functional alignment, non-authority-based influence |
| Vision Clarity | Can you articulate a future state clearly enough that someone else could execute it? We score whether strategic thinking is concrete or abstract. | Concrete vision language, measurable direction |
How a session works
Step 1: Get your Intuit Leadership 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.
