Six dimensions — Capability, Track record, Trajectory, Influence, Domain edge, Risk surface — each scored 1–5, out of 30. Scoring disregards identity by instruction — names, gender, and age are set aside, and in a head-to-head the candidate order is randomized before a blind synthesis assigns the scores.
Around ten quotes per analysis, lifted word for word: [EVIDENCE: "scaled ARR from $3M to $14M"]. No quote, no claim.
Over-qualification and retention-risk flags sit on the document itself, beside five interview questions and three reference-check questions per candidate. The verdict tells you what to probe, not just whom to prefer.
Verdict reads what is written. It cannot see how someone thinks on their feet — that is the interview's job. So every verdict ships a printable interview kit per candidate, its questions aimed at exactly what the CV could not prove. Interviews Thursday? You'd walk in with one for each finalist.
Upload 5–50 past hires with outcomes — still here, promoted, let go — and Verdict compiles an org profile injected into every future analysis ("your hires weight Capability and Track record most heavily"). A 90-day follow-up keeps it current.
Paste the interview transcript or your notes; Verdict re-examines the case and issues a revision delta — "Recommendation unchanged — 24 → 26/30" (sample) — each change citing the transcript verbatim. Revisions carry SHA-256 fingerprints, current and superseded.
Record your decision — Hired, Rejected, Pending — with rationale, and export an audit-grade defensibility report, fingerprinted. A decision unwritten is a decision unowned. (Promote mode does the same for internal candidates: ready now, 6 months, or 12–18, with a four-step development plan.)
1 credit = 1 candidate analyzed. Pay once. No subscription. Credits never expire.
Hiring is occasional; your tooling bill shouldn't pretend otherwise. Buy credits when a role opens; whatever remains waits, un-expired, for the next search. No seats, no renewal date, no invoice arriving in a month you didn't hire.
Verdict is identity-blind by design: names, gender, and age are set aside, candidate order is randomized, and the synthesis that assigns scores never sees who it is scoring. That is a guardrail, not a guarantee — but it is a real one, and a conclusion that cannot cite the CV does not ship.
Minutes from upload to verdict for a typical run. No onboarding, no demo call, no setup.
A multi-pass read of one CV against your JD, the six-dimension score, typically around ten verbatim citations, risk warnings, five interview questions, three reference-check questions, and the interview kit.
Then you've spent nothing — your first head-to-head is free. If it changes your mind once, it has earned its keep for every hire after.
