Benchmark how you think with an AI problem-solving assessment
Kaairo evaluates how you solve real-world problems with AI — how you frame the task, explore options, communicate clearly, and choose workable solutions. Solve a challenge, get scored on a 9-parameter rubric, and receive a science-backed thinking report across 4 dimensions.

What makes Kaairo's problem-solving assessment different
Real-world case studies, not trivia
Each assessment presents a realistic business or technical challenge — not multiple-choice trivia or generic puzzles. You work through the problem using AI as a collaborator, just like you would in a real work environment. The challenge changes daily, covering domains from product strategy to operations to market analysis.
9-parameter scoring rubric
Your solution is evaluated across nine distinct parameters: Problem Framing, Creative Breadth, Solution Development, Risk/Ethics/Feasibility, Implementation Planning, Novelty, Usefulness, Elaboration & Synthesis, and Human-AI Collaboration. Each parameter captures a specific dimension of problem-solving ability, giving you a granular view of your thinking strengths.
4-dimension thinking report
Your nine parameter scores are synthesised into a thinking report across four high-level dimensions — giving you a clear, actionable summary of how you approach problems. Each dimension highlights specific strengths and development areas with concrete recommendations for improvement.
Understand how you think, not just what you know
Traditional assessments test knowledge recall. Kaairo measures the thinking process itself — how you frame, explore, evaluate, and communicate solutions.
Trace-based evaluation of your thinking process
Kaairo captures your entire prompt-and-response path — not just the final output. The scoring rubric evaluates how you framed the problem, what options you explored, how you iterated on solutions, and how effectively you collaborated with AI. This trace-based approach reveals thinking quality that a final answer alone cannot.
Daily challenges across diverse domains
A new real-world challenge is published every day, covering product strategy, operations, market analysis, technical architecture, and more. Regular practice builds AI fluency and problem-solving agility across contexts — not just depth in a single domain.
Benchmarked results with scoring bands
Your scores are classified into four clear bands: Limited (0-39), Developing (40-59), Established (60-79), and Superior (80-100). Each band has defined behavioural descriptors so you understand exactly where you stand and what it takes to reach the next level.
Actionable recommendations for improvement
Your thinking report includes specific, actionable recommendations for each dimension. Instead of a generic score, you receive concrete guidance on how to improve problem framing, broaden creative exploration, strengthen implementation plans, and deepen AI collaboration.
AI collaboration measurement
Kaairo uniquely measures how effectively you collaborate with AI — a skill that is becoming essential in every role. The Human-AI Collaboration parameter evaluates your prompting strategy, how you build on AI suggestions, and whether you critically evaluate AI-generated content rather than accepting it passively.
Clear scoring bands with transparent criteria
Every score is transparent. The nine parameters and four dimensions use published rubric descriptors, so you know exactly what each band means. No black-box scoring — you can see how each aspect of your thinking was evaluated and why you received each score.
Three steps to your thinking report
Complete a challenge, get scored, and understand how you think.
Start today's challenge
Each day presents a new real-world problem — a business case, a strategic decision, a technical challenge. Read the scenario, understand the context, and begin working through the problem using AI as your collaborator. The challenge is designed to be completed in 20-30 minutes.
Solve with AI as your collaborator
Work through the problem using prompts — frame the issue, explore options, develop solutions, and refine your approach. Kaairo captures your entire thinking trace: the questions you ask, the directions you explore, how you iterate, and how you synthesise information from AI into a coherent solution.
Get your thinking report
Receive a detailed report with scores across nine parameters grouped into four dimensions. See your scoring band for each parameter, read written rationales explaining your evaluation, and get specific recommendations for strengthening your problem-solving approach. Track your progress over time with daily practice.
Rigorous, transparent, and research-backed
Kaairo's scoring methodology is grounded in established problem-solving research and designed for transparency at every level.
Research-grounded rubric design
The 9-parameter scoring rubric draws on established frameworks for evaluating problem-solving, creative thinking, and decision-making quality. Each parameter is defined with clear behavioural descriptors across four bands, ensuring the assessment measures what it claims to measure.
Transparent scoring with written rationales
Every score includes a written explanation of why you received that band — citing specific elements of your problem-solving trace. No opaque algorithms or unexplained numbers. You can see exactly how each aspect of your thinking was evaluated.
Process over output
Unlike traditional tests that grade final answers, Kaairo evaluates your thinking process — how you frame problems, how broadly you explore options, how you handle risk and feasibility, and how you collaborate with AI. This approach captures cognitive abilities that output-only grading misses entirely.
Consistent AI-powered evaluation
AI scoring ensures every assessment is evaluated with the same rubric and the same rigour. No examiner fatigue, no subjective mood shifts, no inconsistency between graders. The same thinking trace receives the same score regardless of when or where it is submitted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AI problem-solving assessment measure?
The assessment measures how you think through real-world problems — not what you know. It evaluates nine parameters: Problem Framing, Creative Breadth, Solution Development, Risk/Ethics/Feasibility, Implementation Planning, Novelty, Usefulness, Elaboration & Synthesis, and Human-AI Collaboration. These are synthesised into a four-dimension thinking report.
How is the assessment scored?
Your entire prompt-and-response trace is evaluated against a 9-parameter rubric. Each parameter is scored from 0-100 and classified into bands: Limited (0-39), Developing (40-59), Established (60-79), and Superior (80-100). Scores include written rationales explaining the evaluation.
What is included in the thinking report?
The thinking report includes per-parameter scores, band classifications, written rationales for each score, strengths and development areas, and actionable recommendations for improvement. Scores are grouped into four high-level dimensions for a clear summary of your thinking approach.
How often are new challenges published?
A new challenge is published every day. Each challenge covers a different domain — product strategy, operations, market analysis, technical architecture, and more. Daily practice builds AI fluency and problem-solving agility across diverse contexts.
Who is this assessment designed for?
Individuals building AI fluency and problem-solving skills through daily practice, and teams that want a consistent, structured signal for evaluating how people think and solve problems in an AI-augmented work environment.
How does this compare to traditional assessments?
Traditional assessments test knowledge recall with multiple-choice questions or timed puzzles. Kaairo evaluates your thinking process — how you frame problems, explore options, collaborate with AI, and develop solutions. It captures cognitive abilities that final-answer grading cannot measure.
How long does the assessment take?
Most challenges are designed to be completed in 20-30 minutes. You work through the problem at your own pace — there is no strict time limit for the daily practice assessment.
Can organisations use this for hiring?
Yes. Kaairo's problem-solving assessments are available as part of the enterprise hiring platform. Organisations can include case study assessments in multi-test evaluations alongside SJTs, MCQs, and AI voice interviews, with combined scoring and candidate comparison.
