Scientist Workflow Overview

Your Role in the Platform

Engineering builds the infrastructure, plumbing, and admin UI. You own the science content that makes the platform defensible:

• Rubric defaults — the actual text in every configurable field (interviewer personality, scoring rules, probing strategies)
• Competency anchors — what a 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mean for each competency
• Scoring methodology — philosophy, thresholds, recommendation logic
• Validity methodology — what data to collect, statistical tests, minimum sample sizes
• Adverse impact methodology — 4/5ths rule implementation, demographic categories, remediation guidance
• Assessment design — SJT items, cognitive test items, work samples (future phases)

The Critical Path

No employer can be onboarded until this chain is complete:

Competency anchors reviewed ✅ (8 competencies seeded)
         ↓
Scorer rubric defaults reviewed → scoring produces defensible results
         ↓
Interviewer rubric reviewed → interviews ask the right questions
         ↓
Adaptive rubric designed → adaptive mode can go live
         ↓
Integrity weights reviewed → flag deductions are fair
         ↓
READY TO ONBOARD FIRST EMPLOYER

What's Already Done (Engineering)

• 8 behavioral competencies seeded with 5-level anchors
• Full interviewer prompt system (structured + adaptive) with all fields editable via admin UI
• Full scorer prompt system with 6 methodology fields, all editable
• Rubric versioning with semver, rollback, and version stamping
• Integrity monitor with 7 flag types, configurable weights
• Admin UI for every configurable field
• 1,193 tests across 86 files
