USP

Structured preparation with evidence-based rubrics and interviewer control.

The product

Key screens: Interview plan, question bank, evidence rubric. Use a project list and editorial calendar beside a document editor. Keep original material and supporting passages in a collapsible side panel. Show outline, draft, review and approved stages. Provide tracked edits, comments, version comparisons and an export preview that reflects the final delivery format. In this product, the first view is interview plan, followed by question bank and evidence rubric.

Core functionality

1. Map competencies.
2. Draft job-related questions.
3. Create work-sample prompts.
4. Define observable evidence.
5. Standardize note forms.
6. Track question revisions.

Customer workflow

Collect a structured brief and source material, identify unanswered questions, approve an outline, generate a draft, verify claims, gather reviewer edits, approve a final version and export the agreed formats. Start with role requirements and approved evaluation rubrics and finish with structured interview preparation pack.

AI and human review

Extract and organize information, propose structure, draft prose and adapt approved content to audiences. Attach evidence to factual claims. Keep names, dates, amounts and quoted wording linked to their source. Editors resolve ambiguity and approve publication.

What the customer gets

Structured interview preparation pack

Accounts and administration

Client workspaces, source permissions, editorial assignments, change history, reviewer comments, approval gates, revision allowances and export templates.

MVP scope

Begin with hiring managers at specialist service companies and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: map competencies; draft job-related questions. Provide operator assistance for the third module: create work-sample prompts. Deliver structured interview preparation pack through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.

After the MVP is validated

After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: define observable evidence; standardize note forms; track question revisions. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.

Build dependencies

Document parsing, a source-linked editor, tracked revisions, reviewer workflow and reliable document export. Rich presentation or print output needs format-specific QA.

Integrations and data access

Approved HR documents, employee directories and learning records. Document storage, word processor export, content management systems and approved publishing channels. Pilot with uploads and downloadable drafts before adding write integrations. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.

Defensibility

Customer-approved terminology, reusable structures, source libraries and editorial feedback tied to a specific audience and recurring publishing workflow. For this idea, build around structured preparation with evidence-based rubrics and interviewer control. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.

Alternatives and positioning

Writers, editors, agencies, internal document templates and general-purpose chat tools. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: structured preparation with evidence-based rubrics and interviewer control. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.

Revenue model and test pricing

Test USD 400-1,500 for a tightly scoped initial content package. Convert repeated work to a monthly retainer with explicit deliverable and revision limits. Specialist review and substantial research are separately scoped. Prices are hypotheses.

Main delivery costs

Research and interview time, transcription, model usage, factual verification, subject-matter review, editing and revisions.

Marketing message to test

Interview preparation platform for hiring managers at specialist service companies. Structured preparation with evidence-based rubrics and interviewer control. Demonstrate the claim through an interview kit for one specialist role.

Acquisition channels

Recruiter training providers

Lead magnet

An interview kit for one specialist role

The first 30 days of marketing

1. Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: hiring managers at specialist service companies. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
2. Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: an interview kit for one specialist role.
3. Week 3: present it through recruiter training providers and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
4. Week 4: review rubric coverage, interviewer consistency, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.

Paid pilot and validation

Complete one existing brief using the customer’s actual sources. Record reviewer edits, factual corrections and preparation time. Ask the same buyer to commission a second comparable deliverable. For this idea, use role requirements and approved evaluation rubrics and evaluate structured interview preparation pack. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for rubric coverage, interviewer consistency. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.

Success metrics

Rubric coverage, interviewer consistency

Retention and expansion

Maintain the approved source and voice library, schedule recurring editorial work, and expand into additional formats only after the core deliverable is repeatedly accepted.

Operating controls and limitations

Keep employee data access explicit and confidential. Use human judgment for personnel decisions and do not infer protected traits or hidden personal characteristics. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.

Investment indication

What it would take to build, from a first MVP to the full product. A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. Running costs (model usage, hosting, reviewer hours) come on top.
