Vs. traditional screens
A different question, asked honestly.
We don't bash competitors by name — we compare approaches. Every incumbent asks whether you can code without AI. That question is both gameable and the wrong one.
Dimension
The pre-AI screen
Chiron
The question asked
Can you perform without AI?
How do you think and decide with AI?
Relationship to AI
Banned — proctored, locked-down, surveilled
Present by design — it is the instrument
The artifact
One gameable output (résumé, take-home, puzzle)
Three signals: code, reasoning, AI direction
Integrity
Webcam, lockdown browser, keystroke forensics
Structural — divergence between signals
What a pass means
Has seen this class of problem before
Can do the real, modern job
The output
A number / pass-fail verdict
A cited recommendation a human acts on
The two failure modes, plainly: banning AI tests recall under surveillance — the wrong skill. Allowing AI with no measurement can't tell a sharp operator from a lucky paste. Chiron is the third path.
