ACRI: the Career Engine score, in public.

Authenticated Candidate Readiness Index is the readiness score every Career Engine result page shows. It is not a hiring tool and it is not a placement predictor. This page documents exactly how it is built so recruiters, TPOs and students can audit the same code the result page uses.

1 · What ACRI measures

Five dimensions, one composite score

Every ACRI score is the average of five 0–100 dimension scores. Definitions below match the labels students see on their result page.

Dimension

Operational reasoning

Translating ambiguous tasks into ordered, executable steps under realistic constraints.

Dimension

Communication

Clear written + spoken explanation to clinicians, reviewers and non-specialists.

Dimension

Documentation

Accurate, audit-ready written artefacts: case files, narratives, edit-checks, SOPs.

Dimension

Workflow thinking

Comfort with software, tickets, queues and structured pipelines that healthcare ops runs on.

Dimension

Domain awareness

Working medical / clinical vocabulary, regulatory landscape and patient-system context.

2 · How the score is computed

Trait → dimension weighting matrix

The table below is rendered live from the same scoring matrix the result page runs. We can't show you one thing here and ship something else.

Each row's weights sum to 1.0. The final dimension scores are normalised against the strongest trait-driven dimension so bars remain readable even when traits are sparse.

3 · The 40 questions

13 traits, scenario + behaviour + profile

The question bank covers 13 traits (attention, logic, language, screen, patient, data, writing, sales, compliance, tech, lab, empathy, pressure). 40 items per attempt, mixed across scenario, behaviour and profile kinds.

4 · Bands & what they mean

Three readiness bands, not a pass/fail

Bands map a candidate to the right cohort entry point. They are not a hiring decision and they are not a placement guarantee.

5 · Calibration & sample size

What we DO and DON'T claim

Honest accounting of the v1 evidence base. We will not publish a reliability coefficient until the dataset can support a stable estimate.

Calibration source

Trait → dimension weights are derived from current Indian JDs across 6 role tracks, last refreshed Q2 2026. Sources are public listings (Naukri, LinkedIn India, Foundit, company careers pages).

See the JD Mirror →

Current sample size

Completed Career Engine attempts to date: 0. Leads captured (subset who chose to share contact): 0. Count is live from the public sessions table.

Reliability (Cronbach α / test-retest)

Not yet published. A stable α estimate needs N ≥ 500 completions and a within-7-day re-test subset. We will publish the numbers here when both conditions are met. Today: below threshold.

v1 preview rubric

The trait → dimension weighting is the v1 preview rubric - derived from JD aggregation, not yet validated against the full ASSAY (Arzon Science and Skill Assessment for Industry Readiness) instrument. ASSAY will replace this map without changing the result page contract.

Strong analytical capability in SDTM mapping domains (DM, AE, LB) and treatment-emergent derivations in ADAE.

Regulatory Affairs & Medical Writing (eCTD/CSR)

91/100

Clear understanding of eCTD Module structure and Clinical Study Report (CSR) authorship guidelines.

6 · Limits & non-claims

What ACRI is not

The score answers one question: which cohort entry point fits this candidate today. It deliberately does not try to answer the others.

Not a hiring decision
ACRI is a cohort-entry signal, not an offer signal. Recruiters should rely on the grading rubric + verified work samples instead.
Not a placement predictor
We will not correlate ACRI to offer outcomes until the placements ledger is large enough to be statistically meaningful. The public ledger is the only outcome surface.
Not psychometric ASSAY
ASSAY is the full Arzon assessment instrument; ACRI v1 is a JD-derived preview. The naming reflects the difference.
Not an IQ / personality test
ACRI does not score intelligence, personality, or behavioural archetypes outside the 5 published dimensions.
