Compare vs. Agent-Built

Evidence-backed comparison of existing federal assessments against the agent-built equivalent — anchored to 29 CFR 1607, the Chance to Compete Act, and NCME Standards.

How this is scored. Each existing assessment is rated 0–100 across eight dimensions based on publicly documented evidence (OPM QS, USA Hire, USAJOBS, vendor technical reports where available). Agent-built scores reflect the 14-agent swarm's uniform quality gates, gated by a licensed I-O psychologist. Pick any series below for the full breakdown.
