Build your verified AI Fluency profile. Make your AI skills portable across employers.
Five behavioural dimensions, three levels. Verified by external experts. Public, shareable, yours.
Five dimensions. Three levels. Behavioural — not vibes.
The AI Fluency Scale scores five things you actually do with AI — what you hand over, what the AI knows, what it can reach, how you check, and where you stop — each on a four-step ladder. Inspired by Reid Hoffman's three levels of AI fluency, rebuilt for how people work with agents now. The same scale is designed to power the team and company AI Maturity Index inside HRPulsar — your individual level is built on the scale your future employer will measure.
Basic
0–5
AI as a smarter search box. Answers and drafts from what you paste in; the work, the checking and the judgement stay manual.
Middle
6–11
AI does whole tasks with standing instructions and connected data. You check the output against a rubric and know where a person must decide.
Advanced
12–15
Agents run recurring work inside your systems, within limits you set, measured over time, and explainable to an auditor.
01. What you hand over
How much of a task the AI does before you touch it.
Step 0I ask questions and get answers or ideas. The work itself is still mine.
Step 3Agents run recurring work without me starting it. I review the exceptions.
02. What the AI knows
What is already in place before you type.
Step 0I type a fresh prompt every time.
Step 3I write instructions my team reuses, and I version them like any other document.
03. What the AI can reach
What it can see and do beyond the chat window.
Step 0Only what I paste into the chat.
Step 3Agents can act in those systems — create, update, send — within permissions I have set.
04. How you check
How you know the output is right.
Step 0I trust the output if it looks right.
Step 3I track quality over time — samples, error rates — and change the setup when it drifts.
05. Where you stop
What stays out of AI tools, and where a person decides.
Step 0I am not sure what I am allowed to put into AI tools.
Step 3I can explain to a candidate or an auditor how AI was used in a decision, and it is documented.

Mockup of the profile page coming with HRPulsar Personal (Phase IL).
Four verification sources. One signed badge.
Every claim on your profile carries a breakdown of which sources backed it. The badge is cryptographically signed — claims can be audited, not just trusted.
Self-assessment
Your starting point. Honest self-report on the five-dimension scale, surfaced in your profile.
External expert review
Invite a peer or mentor. They validate specific claims through an open-access flow — no account required.
AI challenge
Practical tasks scored by an AI judge against rubric-style criteria. Generates evidence, not just opinions.
Practical exam
Optional structured exam for high-stakes claims. The badge breakdown shows exactly which sources backed each level.
Where are you on the scale? Five questions.
Self-assessment across five behavioural dimensions. Computed entirely in your browser — no account, no save. You'll get a level, a profile across the five dimensions, and up to three concrete next moves.
Reserve your verified profile.

Common questions.
When is HRPulsar Personal launching?+
After Phase R (Recruiting) ships and Phase IL begins. Realistically: late 2026. The waitlist gets first access — and a discount on credits — when it opens.
Why credit-based instead of a monthly subscription?+
You only pay for what you actually do — running an AI challenge, requesting an external review, generating a profile snapshot. No flat monthly fee for sitting on a profile you barely touch.
How does external expert verification work?+
You invite a peer or mentor by email. They follow a one-time link, see the specific claim and evidence, and either confirm, partially confirm, or reject. The review and reviewer's identity are recorded in your badge breakdown — no account needed on their side.
Will my data move with me if I change employer?+
Yes. The profile is yours, signed cryptographically, and lives on a stable URL. Verification history travels with you — the whole point is that an AI Fluency level should outlast a single job.
