Frequently asked questions

The method, the handoff, and the human decision.

Straight answers about how custom role context becomes Theta evidence, Titan verification, and a recruiter-owned decision.

01 · How is pricing structured?

Credit-based plans matched to assessment volume

Theta starts at $179 per completed assessment and Titan at $549. Each engine receives its own volume discount: 15% at 10–49, 25% at 50–199, and 35% at 200+. There is no subscription or platform fee; 500+ is handled through Contact Sales.

02 · How long does the process take?

The workflow is staged, not one long generic test

Timing depends on the role configuration and whether the employer uses Theta, Titan, or both. Campaign owners set the candidate window; the portal keeps completion and follow-up status visible.

03 · What starts a campaign?

Your job description

The JD defines the role context, competency priorities, decision conditions, and risks. It becomes the shared brief for Theta, Titan, and the final review.

04 · What is Theta AI?

An IRT and ensemble screening engine

Theta applies a five-category Graded Response Model and a frozen XGBoost, LightGBM, and Ranger ensemble to produce theta, percentile, level, cohort band, integrity context, and an inspectable report.

05 · What is Titan AI?

A conversational Situational Judgment Test

Candidates answer role-linked scenarios in free text. Adaptive follow-up probes and anchor checks test how their reasoning holds up beyond the first response, producing a Competency Mastery Report.

06 · How do Theta and Titan connect?

Theta finds the signal; Titan challenges it

Theta narrows the cohort and identifies the competencies or risks that need deeper verification. Titan follows that evidence with targeted dialogue instead of starting a disconnected second test.

07 · Does the system decide who to hire?

No

The platform organizes evidence and makes uncertainty visible. The employer remains responsible for role relevance, lawful use, accommodations, interview judgment, and the final decision.

08 · What does cheating-risk mean?

A review signal, not an accusation

Integrity indicators use response timing, consistency, and anomaly patterns to add context. They should prompt human review and never be treated as automatic proof of misconduct.

09 · What evidence supports Theta?

Named synthetic configurations with reported limits

synth-bank-v1 calibration reported marginal reliability 0.913 on a synthetic n=500 cohort. synth-detectors-v1 untouched synthetic validation reported theta recovery r=0.850 and integrity precision/recall 0.900 with specificity 0.991. These are synthetic diagnostics, not real-world predictive validity.

10 · Where does the evidence live?

Inside one recruiter workspace

Campaigns, candidates, Theta and Titan outputs, full reports, and audit history remain linked in the portal so reviewers can recover how a conclusion was reached.
