Paid pilot · Hiring signal
Turn messy technical assessment evidence into a defensible hiring decision packet.
HotTea reviews 3-5 completed candidate loops for one engineering role and delivers Hiring Signal Reports: what each candidate proved, what they did not prove, where reviewers disagreed, and what decision is defensible.
What the buyer receives
Hiring Signal Reports plus a team calibration readout.
Each report names strong evidence, weak evidence, rubric fit, reviewer disagreement, risk flags, recommendation, and what to ask next. The pilot readout explains how the team should adjust future interviews and scoring.
Buyer confirms role, candidate-loop count, delivery date, and decision question.
Stripe Checkout records the pilot commitment and activates the buyer workspace.
Buyer adds rubric, candidate materials, reviewer notes, transcripts, and links in the Pilot intake cockpit.

Pilot acceptance
Commit to one scoped review before more platform work.
Start with one role and a bounded candidate-loop set. The acceptance packet defines fit, disqualifiers, required inputs, and the delivery bar before checkout. After checkout, the owner workspace opens the Pilot intake cockpit for rubric, candidate materials, reviewer notes, transcripts, and delivery target.
