--- title: Assessment redesign: methodology and flow --- ObjectivEye · AI & Data team · Methodology **Assessment redesign:methodology and flow** Evidence-based skills profiles, blind biographical scoring and skills-based matching on a shared taxonomy Concept report for review · current methodology and planned extension · Sprint 2, deliverables 5.1–5.3 · 18 October 2026 Marc Lenz, Head of AI · Status: concept for review. In the second sprint week this concept is turned into requirements, a project plan and an actionable follow-up sequence per work stream. ![The mechanism this report proposes: CV and vacancy are extracted into graphs, projected onto the shared skills graph and matched there, requirement by requirement.](media/image1.png) *The mechanism this report proposes: CV and vacancy are extracted into graphs, projected onto the shared skills graph and matched there, requirement by requirement.* # Contents **[Part I Motivation](part-1-motivation/index.md)** -
