# Who Axiom Cortex is for

Axiom Cortex is for teams that hire technical people and need to inspect the reasoning in a recorded interview against the work the role actually requires.

It is especially useful when the buyer wants a role-specific mental-shape map of observable work reasoning, rather than a transcript summary or a generic assessment score. The method keeps the source evidence, alignment gaps, and human review decision connected.

## Best-fit buyers

| Buyer or project | Economic owner | Start with | What to test |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Single specialist project** | Hiring owner or technical lead | One evaluation or a small pack | Whether the method gives useful evidence for one defined role and interview |
| **Repeat hiring campaign** | Head of Engineering and talent leader | Small pack or business batch | Whether clearer evidence, correction, follow-up, and net review effort improve the workflow |
| **High-volume pipeline** | Owner, delivery head, or recruiting lead | Business batch or bulk commitment | Whether volume pricing, review capacity, and source quality hold up across the campaign |
| **Enterprise delivery requirements** | Talent leader, engineering sponsor, procurement, or security | Quantity plus a paid proof of value | Whether the required integrations, controls, support, and retention terms are verified |
| **ATS, interview, and talent platforms** | Product GM, CTO, or partnerships lead | A gated embedded design path | Whether API readiness, tenant isolation, licensing, and downstream rights can be verified |
| **Internal mobility or new job families** | Engineering capability or learning leader | A separate scoped evaluation | Whether the role and evidence are suitable; do not assume cross-language, cross-occupation, or internal-employment validity |

## This is a good fit when

- A technical role has clear responsibilities, must-haves, approved questions, and ideal-answer criteria.
- The buyer has an authorized recording and a transcript that can be checked against the source.
- Reviewers want the question, candidate evidence, role criterion, gap, and follow-up close together.
- A qualified person will inspect the result and make the final decision.
- The team is willing to measure its own workflow value instead of assuming a better-hire outcome.

## This is not the right fit when

- The buyer has no defined role criteria or no authorized interview record.
- The buyer wants an autonomous reject, rank, or hiring recommendation.
- The buyer wants personality, intelligence, mental-health, emotion, truthfulness, protected-trait, face, accent, or voice-quality scoring.
- The buyer needs an unverified API, SSO, dedicated hosting, residency, white-label, or resale promise before a capability review and contract.
- The buyer wants a cleaned summary to stand in for the full interview record.

## What the buyer brings

Bring the business context, job description, must-haves, interview questions, ideal-answer criteria, candidate profile, authorized recording, and quality-checked transcript. If the team only has the recording, it must choose an authorized transcription path and verify the result before review.

## What the buyer gets

The workflow returns a role-specific evidence review when the configured requirements are met: attributable source excerpts, support states, gaps, contradictions, observable work-reasoning notes, follow-up needs, and a human-review state. A score is decision support; it does not replace the review or prove future job performance.

## Larger clients

Any buyer should start with a defined quantity and, when useful, a paid proof of value covering the roles, transcript path, review effort, and evidence quality that matter to the project. The proof should measure adoption, actual usage, unused credits, and the buyer's own outcome criteria without treating an illustrative scenario as a customer result.

The current premium pack test is **$1,499 one time for 125 evaluations**, approximately $11.99 per evaluation, with the same complete scope as the $29 single evaluation. It is intended for any hiring project that can measure purchased volume, actual usage, support demand, repeat purchase, and the value of clearer role-alignment evidence.
