ProBB AI glossary
Definitions for the evidence, scoring, interview, sharing, and workspace terms used in ProBB AI.
Analysis terms
Advisory role-fit score
A 0–10 summary of the job-related evidence found against the supplied job description. It is not a probability of success or a general candidate-quality score.
Advanced capabilities
Evidence related to higher-scope, strategic, leadership, or differentiating requirements beyond the role's core requirements.
Core requirement
A responsibility, skill, qualification, or scope expectation treated as central to the supplied role.
Discrepancy
An inconsistency, ambiguity, or claim that needs human clarification. It is not proof of dishonesty.
Evidence coverage
How much of the relevant role or interview plan is supported by usable candidate evidence.
Evidence rubric
A requirement-by-requirement view of the evidence state, such as supported, partial, missing, or uncertain.
Mismatch review
A pause triggered when preflight finds very weak evidence for the supplied role. An authorised reviewer can inspect the inputs and decide whether full analysis is still useful.
Resume-integrity signal
A pattern that may need verification, such as inconsistent chronology or unusually unsupported claims. It must never be treated as a fraud determination by itself.
Interview terms
Decision confidence
Confidence in the generated interpretation of the available interview evidence, not certainty about future job performance.
Evidence mapping
The connection between an interview assessment and the candidate answers that support it.
Interview recommendation
An AI-generated decision-support label such as Proceed, Borderline, or Not recommended. It does not make or execute a hiring decision.
Transcript-backed signal
An interview conclusion that can be checked against recorded candidate turns in the transcript.
Verified claim
A claim supported by explicit interview evidence. “Verified” refers to support inside the conversation; it does not replace references, employment checks, or external verification.
Workspace and sharing terms
AI assistant
A chat or coding assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor that a member has connected to ProBB AI. It works with your permissions in one organisation. See work with an AI assistant.
Confirmation (quote)
The step before an AI assistant starts anything that uses credits. The assistant states the cost and your balance, and continues only after you say yes for that action.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
The open standard AI assistants use to connect to apps such as ProBB AI. See the MCP server reference.
Active organisation
The currently selected workspace. Organisation-scoped records and permissions change when the active organisation changes.
Analysis-ready candidate
A saved candidate profile with enough processed resume information to participate in analysis or matching.
Public report link
An unlisted bearer link that displays only enabled report fields. Anyone with the active link can access those fields without signing in until the link is revoked, replaced, or the report is deleted.
Talent rediscovery
A lightweight search across saved resume evidence that identifies possible candidates for a role before full analysis is run.
Integration terms
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| API key | A secret your server uses to call the API. It belongs to one workspace and to the Admin who created it. |
| Scope | What a key may do, such as jobs:read or reports:write. |
| External ID | Your own ID for a candidate, job or report, so you can match records in your system |
| Report | One analysis of one candidate against one job. The API calls it a report, as the app does. |
| Recommendation | The AI interview's advice to the reviewer. It is not a decision. |
| Decision | The hiring team's choice for a candidate and job: advance, hold, not progressing or hired |
| Revision | A value that changes whenever a record is edited. Send it as If-Match to avoid overwriting a newer change. |
| Idempotency key | A value you choose for one write, so a retry cannot create it twice |
| Cursor | An opaque position for continuing a list or the events feed |
| Event | One change in your workspace, in the events feed and in webhooks |
| Actor | Who made a change: an API key, a person, an AI assistant or the system |
| Webhook endpoint | A URL on your server that receives signed events |
| Delivery | One event sent to one webhook endpoint, with each try |
| Sandbox | A separate copy of ProBB AI for testing with synthetic data and test keys |
