Measurement engine
The core of QLM is a calibrated measurement engine that produces reliable, comparable scores from minimal interaction. Every session simultaneously estimates all 7 cognitive dimensions with confidence intervals.
ADAPTIVE
Converges in 15–25 questions
Each question chosen to maximize information. No fixed-length tests. The engine stops when precision reaches the configured threshold.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL
7 dimensions simultaneously
A single 20-question session estimates all 7 cognitive dimensions, weighted by how much each item contributes to each dimension.
PRECISION
Confidence intervals on every score
72 ± 3 means something different from 72 ± 15. QLM always reports both the estimate and the precision.
FAIRNESS
Real-time differential detection
Items that measure differently across demographic groups are flagged and quarantined automatically. Fairness is monitored on every session.
GROWTH
Trajectory prediction
Based on measurement history, QLM projects future capability trajectories with confidence bounds. Not linear extrapolation — calibrated prediction.
INTEGRITY
Person-fit detection
Gaming, random responding, and disengaged test-taking detected in real time. Flagged sessions are marked with reduced confidence.
Six assessment modes
MODE 01
Assessment
From $4 / session
Adaptive competency evaluation. Converges to a calibrated profile in 15–25 items. Scores across all 7 dimensions with confidence intervals.
MODE 02
Screening
From $2 / session
Quality-gate filtering. Calibrated pass/fail or ranked output for hiring, prerequisites, and compliance gates.
MODE 03
Monitoring
$1–2 / person / mo
Continuous tracking, drift detection, decay alerts. 5–10 questions per cycle. Compliance evidence on demand.
MODE 04
Prioritization
$15–25 / exercise
Ranked recommendations by information density. Triage, severity ranking, escalation decisions.
MODE 05
Simulation
2x / session
Branching decision scenarios. Clinical, negotiation, operational decision trees. Every branch point is a measurement opportunity.
MODE 06
Games
$3–8 / learner / mo
Invisible measurement through play. 11 game modes. Daily loops, multiplayer, tournaments. Every interaction produces calibrated data.
Seven cognitive dimensions
CodeDimensionDescription
D1Analytical ReasoningDecompose problems, identify patterns, construct logical arguments from evidence.
D2Quantitative LiteracyNumerical data, statistical reasoning, mathematical modeling in applied contexts.
D3Written CommunicationClarity, precision, and effectiveness of written expression across contexts.
D4Information SynthesisIntegrate information from multiple sources, resolve contradictions, construct narratives.
D5Critical EvaluationAssess evidence quality, identify biases, distinguish correlation from causation.
D6Domain ExpertiseDepth and breadth of knowledge within a specific professional or academic domain.
D7Adaptive Problem SolvingNovel problems without established procedures, transfer knowledge, improvise under constraint.
25 enterprise question banks
Professionally calibrated items mapped to real job-performance dimensions. Each bank includes validated difficulty parameters, fairness data, and discrimination indices.

Bank enrichment pipeline
Transform your existing question bank into a calibrated measurement instrument. 9-step pipeline from raw items to validated, fairness-monitored, adaptive-ready assessment content.
- Step 1: Item ingestion and format normalization
- Step 2: Content review and quality audit
- Step 3: Difficulty parameter estimation (initial calibration)
- Step 4: Discrimination index calculation
- Step 5: Distractor analysis and optimization
- Step 6: Fairness review (differential functioning detection)
- Step 7: Domain-dimension mapping
- Step 8: Adaptive sequencing optimization
- Step 9: Ongoing recalibration from live usage data
From $2,500/bank/month for enrichment services.
