Question 1

How does scoring work?

Accepted Answer

After every message you send, an AI coach scores you 0–10 on four dimensions: leverage, anchoring, confidence, and value framing. Scores update live in the right panel, and your turn-by-turn averages flow into the final grade in your debrief.

Question 2

What do the manager styles mean?

Accepted Answer

Each style changes how the AI hiring manager pushes back on you. Friendly likes you but concedes slowly, Cold makes you work for every word, Budget-constrained cites bands and freezes, Aggressive tests your resolve, and Collaborative looks for creative trade-offs. Pick the one that matches the human you're actually about to face.

Question 3

How accurate are the salary benchmarks?

Accepted Answer

The analyzer and lowball detector give honest, dollar-anchored ranges based on the role, location, experience, and company stage you share. They're directional best estimates — not a guarantee — so treat them as a strong starting point, not a final number.

Question 4

How do I read my equity calculator results?

Accepted Answer

You get three scenarios (downside, base case, upside) with dilution and tax baked in, plus a recommendation on whether to push for more cash or more equity. The red flags section calls out anything that should make you hesitate before signing.
