    "Axiom Cortex is a decision support system for structured technical interview evidence.",
    "It maps configured role criteria to attributable interview evidence.",
    "It evaluates supplied interview evidence one question at a time.",
    "It records evidence support, gaps, explicit contradictions, and answer opportunity.",
    "It describes observable work reasoning demonstrated in the supplied interview.",
    "It requires human review for corrections and final decisions."
  ],
  "requiresAdditionalEvidence": [
    "quantified accuracy, reliability, validity, fairness, or error rate",
    "predictive validity for future job performance",
    "comparative performance against another product or human reviewers",
    "reduction in time, cost, turnover, bias, or bad hires",
    "customer outcomes, independently verified adoption numbers or evaluation counts, or market position",
    "production deployment status of a specific method version",
    "legal sufficiency for an employment decision",
    "accuracy and false-positive rates for read-answer or AI-assistance detection",
    "independent validation of baseline-conditioned speech-pattern review across languages, regions, and accommodations",

    "usage": "Axiom Cortex methods and processes used across 30+ US companies, informed by empirical data from 13,000+ technical interviews and more than eight years of research history; not a claim that the current method version operated unchanged for eight years.",
    "history": "13,000+ technical interviews as empirical source material and more than eight years of research history inside TeamStation AI",
    "researchBoundary": "Working papers and company articles are not peer-reviewed validation; synthetic studies do not establish employment predictive validity.",
    "origin": "Axiom Cortex is the internal evaluation process inside TeamStation AI\u2019s Distributed Engineering OS.",
    "maturity": "Hardened through internal use, its mature evaluation engine is now available to companies hiring for the modern agentic delivery chain.",
    "maturityBoundary": "Internal origin and engine maturity are company-reported. They do not establish independent scientific validation, security certification, universal capability measurement, or hiring outcomes.",
    "interviewIntegrity": "Only after an open-ended experience baseline, later speech-pattern changes can be flagged for source review of a possible read or externally assisted answer, including an AI-provided response.",
    "interviewIntegrityBaseline": "The baseline question should invite the candidate to explain their career path, work experience, and why the role fits. It is a comparison sample, not a skill, personality, calm, or psychological score. If the baseline is absent or unusable, no baseline-conditioned integrity flag should be made.",
    "interviewIntegrityBoundary": "Review signal only; not standalone proof of AI use, deception, or eligibility. Pauses, slower speech, accent, disfluency, code-switching, translation, disability, L2 or ESL communication, or polished delivery alone are not proof. Detection accuracy, false-positive rates, and the primer effect are not independently established in the public documentation."
