The Rigors · Standard 1.0

The standard behind every name proposed.

The Rigors is IT Modality's free, staged readiness assessment. It tests observable work, reasoning, evidence, communication, ownership, risk judgment, and domain fluency against the role a client actually needs. It is not a credential theater, résumé score, or substitute for direct client review.

Six stages, one reconstructable decision

  1. Application review — confirm role fit, scope, consent, and complete information.

  2. Evidence screen — inspect relevant experience, artifacts, contribution, and safe provenance.

  3. Role assessment — evaluate a bounded work product, reasoning, checks, and declared assistance.

  4. Delivery conversation — test questions, tradeoffs, communication, escalation, and ownership.

  5. Readiness review — calibrate the complete record against role-specific criteria and critical conditions.

  6. Decision and next steps — record ready, development, process-review, or closed status with rationale.

Assessment work is never used as unpaid client delivery.

What a client can inspect

A proposal may include the person's role evidence, assessment dimensions, version, reviewer rationale, limitations, conflicts, current status, and the specific reason the person fits the defined work. The client still meets and approves the people proposed.

What the result means

Ready status is a point-in-time quality signal under a named standard version. It does not guarantee an engagement, employment, income, placement, visa outcome, or permanent status. Academy enrollment or purchase cannot improve the decision.
