What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Framing | Do you frame risk in business terms, probability, magnitude, mitigants, or in pure legal terms? We score whether your risk language is usable by a non-lawyer. | Business risk framing, probability + impact language |
| Regulatory Depth | Is your regulatory knowledge specific enough to be credible? We flag answers where the legal framework is vague or assumed rather than specifically referenced. | Regulatory specificity, jurisdiction awareness |
| Advice Clarity | Did you give a recommendation or a list of risks? We score whether your legal advice ends with a clear direction, not a set of options. | Recommendation presence, 'I advise X' language |
| Business-Legal Balance | Do you demonstrate understanding of the business context, not just the legal constraint? We flag pure-legal answers with no commercial awareness. | Business outcome consideration alongside legal advice |

Step 1: Get your Lincoln National Legal 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

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.
