Predictive — and Proven Fair

We don’t just promise fairness. We prove it.

Audited by Holistic AI

Certified bias-free on gender, ethnicity, and their intersection

Validated on 5M+ professional profiles, across industries

Compliance with 4/5ths rule
(EEOC adverse impact threshold)

Fairness isn’t a trade-off with performance — it’s how you unlock it.

Benefits

Science-Driven,
From the Ground Up

Our approach to fairness starts at the source:
the science.

Psychometric assessments (SWIPE, DRIVE, BRAIN) developed under APA, BPS,  ITC guidelines
Items tested for differential item functioning (DIF) to avoid hidden cultural or gender biases
Regular cross-group validation to ensure reliability across diverse populations
Adaptive algorithms that evaluate behavior — not background
Instant support for security reviews and due diligence

Because real potential has no demographic.

Benefits

Fairness in
Every Line of Code

Our AI models go beyond compliance— they actively mitigate risk.

No proxy variables (like education or zip code) introducing bias
No scraping, no inferred demographics, no social scores
Bias mitigation built into both training & prediction pipelines
Real-time disparate impact monitoring via 4/5ths rule compliance
Transparent scoring logic with explainability layers

We don’t just filter bias out. We build fairness in.

Benefits

Inclusive by Design:
Neurodiversity & Accessibility

True fairness means enabling all minds to thrive
— including those that think differently.

Neuroinclusive assessments with no time limits or trick questions — just real ability.
Accessible on all devices, including mobile and screen-readers
