Dependency Map
Which features depend on which science deliverables, and in what order.
This map shows the dependency chain between science deliverables and platform features. Features cannot ship to employers until the science input they depend on is complete.
Dependency Chain
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ READY TO SHIP TODAY │
│ (engineering complete, science defaults seeded) │
│ │
│ ✅ Structured interviews (spine mode) │
│ ✅ Competency-based scoring (8 behavioral competencies) │
│ ✅ Scorecard dashboard + comparison + heatmap │
│ ✅ Multi-user employer accounts with permissions │
│ ✅ Talent pool with vector relevancy │
│ ✅ CSV/PDF export │
│ ✅ Rubric versioning with rollback │
│ ✅ Text + voice interview modes │
│ ✅ Draft postings │
│ │
│ ⚠️ BUT: defaults need YOUR review before real employers │

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Key Takeaway
Items 1-4 are the critical path to onboarding. Everything else can happen in parallel with employer usage. The sooner items 1-4 are complete, the sooner the platform can generate revenue.
