Caliber is a 45-minute live AI assessment. The candidate uses real AI tools to complete a real task while Caliber scores prompting quality, judgment, iteration, and final output. The operator gets a same-day hire / coach / pass recommendation with reasoning.

How is this different from a quiz or a multiple-choice test?

Caliber scores what people actually do with AI, not what they say they would do. The session involves a live AI tool and a real task. The artifact being scored is the candidate’s actual work product.

Can I use Caliber on my existing team?

Yes. The same session structure works as a readiness assessment for current employees. For borderline scores, you also receive a 30-day personalized coaching guide so you can decide to coach instead of cut.

Who is Caliber built for?

SMB owners and operators hiring for AI-capable roles. Typically 1 to 50 employees, any industry. Marketing, ops, customer success, growth, finance, executive assistants, sales — any role whose day involves AI tools.

How long does the assessment take?

Forty-five minutes for the candidate. Same-day turnaround on the scored report and recommendation.

Candidates get 45 minutes with real AI tools and real tasks. No multiple choice. No trick questions. Just work.

Caliber scores what they do

We watch how they work: whether they write clear instructions, whether they check the output, and whether they fix it when something goes wrong.

You get a clear answer

Hire, coach, or pass. The reasoning is included. Use it for new hires or run it across your existing team to see exactly where everyone stands.

See it in action

What we're actually measuring.

Five things happen during every 45-minute session. Each one gets scored. Run the demo to see exactly what Caliber is looking for, and why it matters more than anything on a resume.

Built by people who take hiring seriously

Backed by Martell Ventures.

Etienne de Bruin

Co-Founder & CTO

Founder of 7CTOs, a global community of over 7,000 technology leaders, Etienne has spent two decades studying what separates strong operators from weak ones inside technical teams. As a 5x founder and author of CTO Excellence in 100 Days, he built Caliber's scoring methodology around how top performers actually think and work.

Roddy Awad

Co-Founder & COO

Roddy has been hiring and scaling teams as a founder and executive since 2007, first at Lavvi and now across the Martell Ventures portfolio. He knows firsthand what it costs to bring on someone who can't perform, and built Caliber's operational model around making that mistake preventable.

Marcel Petitpas

Co-Founder & CEO

Marcel coaches hundreds of small business owners through SaaS Academy and co-founded Parakeeto, a platform built around measuring what actually drives performance. He sees the AI skills gap play out in real companies every week and built Caliber as the measurement layer he kept wishing existed.

Dan Martell

Investor & Advisor

Author of Buy Back Your Time and founder of SaaS Academy, Dan has coached thousands of entrepreneurs on building teams that actually perform. He knows better than most what separates the people who create leverage from the ones who just look like they do on paper.
