How this autopsy was generated

5 parallel AI agents (Gemini 3 Flash) extract structured signals from the JD, cross-reference with our company graph, infer market comp, predict the interview loop, and synthesize a final BS Score. Re-run every 24 hours. Employers can request a re-autopsy after editing the JD — no charge, no special access.
