Hiring and promotion
Verify judgment on realistic scenarios — not rehearsed answers. Capture hesitations, revisions, and causal reasoning under probe.
Think Aloud Protocol
Verify hard skills with live human reasoning.
Send a link. Candidates or learners talk through their thinking while they work. You get scored evidence of what they understand — signal that polished deliverables and AI-assisted output cannot fake.
Use cases
Where teams deploy Think Aloud Protocol inside the openLesson knowledge workspace.
Certification gates
Issue shareable links per role or practice block. Score markers with rationale auditors can review.
High-stakes handoffs
Confirm a human actually understands the workflow before they own customer outcomes or safety-critical steps.
Coach calibration
Give managers a repeatable protocol for reviewing how people think — not just what they produced.
Why teams choose it
- Shareable URLs scoped to a workspace or block
- Think-aloud traces plus targeted Socratic follow-ups
- Marker scores and auditable gap reports
Frequently asked questions
- When should I use TAP instead of the API?
- Use TAP when you need live human cognition under probe. Use the Proof-of-Work API when you already have artifacts or traces to score asynchronously.
- Can candidates use their own tools?
- Yes. TAP captures reasoning during real work — spreadsheets, IDEs, dashboards — not artificial puzzle screens.
Trust the thinking, not the slide deck.
