Not what tools you know. How you think, build, and deliver with AI. Scenario-based questions across 7 dimensions, built to measure what actually matters.
Most assessments test tool knowledge. The Crux tests AI thinking, the meta-skill that separates people who use AI from people who are transformed by it.
"Do you see problems differently because AI exists?"
The meta-cognitive shift. Can you reframe problems, question assumptions, and imagine solutions that are only possible with AI?
"Where does AI create real leverage?"
Identify high-impact opportunities, avoid AI-for-AI's-sake, align usage with outcomes.
"Can you actually make it work?"
Prompting, chaining, workflow design, tool selection, debugging, iteration.
"Can you tell good from garbage?"
Catching hallucinations, assessing accuracy, knowing when AI isn't good enough.
"How well do you partner with AI?"
Iteration depth, context management, delegation skill, knowing when to push back.
"Do you multiply impact beyond yourself?"
Teaching others, building reusable systems, creating team-wide AI capabilities.
"Do you own the outcome, not just the prompt?"
Verification, governance, risk awareness, ethical judgment.
Four levels. Each with a distinct mindset and mode of working.
"AI is happening around me."
Aware AI exists but not actively using it. May be skeptical, overwhelmed, or simply hasn't started.
"I use AI to get things done faster."
Regular AI user for defined tasks. Gets value but hasn't systemized it.
"I design AI-powered systems."
Builds multi-step workflows. Chains tools. Thinks in systems, not prompts.
"I transform how my org works with AI."
Re-engineers processes. Elevates others. Changes what's possible.
