  • Create alignment around priorities, next steps, and decision points so that discovery, prototyping, and scaling efforts stay focused on measurable outcomes.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
