How scoring works

How AgentProof scores.

No multiple choice and no trivia. You do real work with the AI tools you already use, and your level comes from what you said and what you made. Here's how it's set.

The assessment

Five parts, about 15 minutes, all in chat.

It's tailored to your role and the tools you use, so a sales lead and a data engineer get different questions and different tasks.

1Quick taps

Your role, your industry, the AI tools you use, and a few questions that adapt to your answers. This sets your starting estimate, from L1 to L4. Your final level can't go higher than this estimate.

2Short interview

Two to four follow-up questions built on what you just told us. Named tools, real connections between them, and how you check AI's work count most. "I don't do this yet" is a fine answer. It just doesn't add evidence.

3One live task

Three minutes on a server-side clock, matched to your role: a messy email thread, a short doc, a report, or a team chat. Use any AI you like. It measures judgment: spotting what's missing or wrong before the work goes out, not just producing something that reads well.

4Three safe-use questions

Client data, checking AI output before it goes out, and what not to hand to AI on its own. You get a rating of Strong, Solid, or Needs work on your results page. It doesn't change your level.

5Proof of advanced work

Only if your estimate is L3 or L4. Paste a prompt, workflow, or config, or share a link with a few lines on what it does. If you skip it, your level is capped at L2.

The scoring

How each part is graded.

AI grades every part against a fixed rubric, with rule-based checks as a backstop. No human reviews your attempt.

Interview

We look at whether your answers are specific, concrete, and consistent with your taps. Your strongest, most detailed answers count most, and one short answer doesn't cancel detail you gave earlier.

Live task

We look at three things: is it accurate, did you do everything the task asked, and is it clear and ready to send. Accuracy counts most, so passing along something wrong as fact costs you more than anything else.

Going over time costs points.

Proof

Does it show real advanced work, and does it match what you said in the interview? For L3, that means connected tools, verification loops, and reusable systems. For L4, it means agents or automations that run unsupervised, with evals and failure handling you can show. A bare link with no explanation won't score well.

Your level

How your level is set.

Your level comes from a few plain rules, applied in order.

  1. Your evidence sets the starting point. What your interview and your proof support decides where you start. Without solid proof, L2 is the most you can reach.
  2. Your quick taps set the ceiling. Your level can't go above the estimate from your taps.
  3. The live task can move you down. A strong result keeps your level. A weaker one drops it one level, and a weak one drops it two.
  4. A thin interview costs a level. Vague answers drop one more level unless your proof is solid. Nobody goes below L1.
L3 AdvancedNeeds solid proof

Proof that shows L3 work and matches what you said in your interview.

L4 MasterNeeds strong proof and interview support

Strong proof that shows evals, failure handling, and runs without you, plus an interview that supports at least L3.

Your results and verify page show a skill breakdown for each part: interview depth, live task, and proof of work if you submitted it. The breakdown explains your level. The rules above set it.

Identity

Why we ask for a selfie and your email.

Your certificate only means something if it's clearly yours. So before we issue it, there are two quick steps: a selfie from your camera, and a code we send to your email. Together they tie your certificate to you.

Your verify link

What anyone sees when they open it.

Your verify link is the thing to share. Put it on LinkedIn, your résumé, a proposal, or a job application. Anyone who opens it sees:

It doesn't show your answers, your selfie, or your email. You can hide your public page anytime from your results page.

Your certificate is free forever and never expires. Recheck your level any time with one short live task to show where you are today. Your verify page then shows the date you last checked.
