What this question set measures

For software engineer hiring, the question set should measure job-relevant evidence instead of charisma alone. The rubric keeps the interviewer focused on repeatable signals.

How GAIA uses follow-up questions

GAIA starts with the planned question, listens for missing evidence, and asks controlled follow-ups when an answer lacks scope, trade-offs, metrics, or ownership. The goal is a fairer signal, not a trick question.

How to review the scorecard

Reviewers should inspect the transcript quotes behind each score before making a decision. Intrvio keeps the AI recommendation separate from the human hiring decision.
