The ungameable work simulation that screens junior engineers for technical discipline and collaboration.

Junior hiring has a blind spot

In the age of AI, traditional signals are now high-quality noise. You can’t tell who will actually perform until after they’ve started.

Problem Awareness

Resumes show credentials, but AI can now draft a "perfect" career story.

Interviews show confidence, but being good at talking isn't being good at shipping.

Portfolios show a finished product, but not the process used to get there.

What we reveal

The four things that actually predict on-the-job performance.

Reliability

We measure their ability to ship quality work against professional deadlines.

Technical discipline

We audit how they build, focusing on code craft and structural logic.

Communication

We evaluate how they explain their technical decisions and flag blockers.

Collaboration

We test their ability to integrate code and maintain functionality within a shared codebase.
