Problem

Video interview analysis tools are sold to recruiters; applicants only meet them in the real interview and have no fair way to practice against that kind of scoring.

Solution

Pick behavioral topics, answer generated questions on camera, and get verbal scores (relevance, STAR structure, insight, vocabulary, filler words) plus non-verbal scores (face, eyes, gestures, pauses, framing) with concrete pros and cons.
