Validation status / Axiom Cortex

Proof has levels. See where ours stands.

A documented method is meaningful. A working paper is useful. A synthetic study can test model behavior. None of those, by itself, proves predictive validity, fairness, or a hiring outcome.

We use science to align tomorrow’s IT talent with the work ahead, and we show the boundary around that science.

Current public boundary

Five evidence levels. Five different meanings.

01 / Documented

Method registry and public evaluation contract

The public materials document 44 governed methods across six mathematical families, their purpose, required inputs, limits, and human-review boundary. A listed method is not proof that it ran in a specific evaluation.

Documented
02 / Published

Working papers

The 2025 report documents the evaluation framework. The 2026 paper documents a human-task-agent alignment model. SSRN publication makes the work inspectable; it does not make the papers peer-reviewed validation.

Working papers
03 / Tested

Synthetic model behavior

The six-domain alignment study tests its model on synthetic profiles. That can test equations, sensitivity, and coefficient recovery under stated assumptions. It does not establish future job performance.

Synthetic study
04 / Reported

Operating history

TeamStation AI reports related methods and processes used across 30+ US companies, empirical source material from 13,000+ technical interviews, and more than eight years of research history. These figures are company-reported.

Company-reported
05 / Required

Independent employment outcome validation

The public sources do not establish predictive validity, quantified accuracy, fairness across relevant populations, comparative superiority, or customer hiring outcomes for the current product version.

Not established

Read the label first

Different evidence answers different questions.

Product behavior

Tests can verify that a version follows its stated software contract. They do not prove a scientific or employment outcome.

Method documentation

A working paper can explain the model, equations, assumptions, and limits. Publication alone does not prove external validity.

Outcome validation

A defined population, frozen version, qualified study design, held-out cases, and measured outcomes are needed for predictive or fairness claims.

Repeatable calculation, useful product output, and validated hiring outcome are related questions. They are not the same claim.

Claims that need more evidence

Do not fill an evidence gap with marketing.

The current public record does not establish:

Those claims need their own version, sample, method, comparison, date, limitations, and qualified review.

For buyers and reviewers

Ask what was tested, on which version, and for which decision.

Request the exact evidence for the claim you care about. Confirm the product version, population, interview design, comparison baseline, error handling, reviewer role, and limits. If that evidence is unavailable, treat the claim as unknown.
