> PAICE (People + AI Collaboration Effectiveness) is a behavioral assessment that measures how individuals and teams collaborate with AI — not what they know about AI, but how they actually behave in real AI interactions.

## What is PAICE?

PAICE measures human-AI collaboration through adaptive behavioral observation. The system injects deliberate errors and tests into conversation and scores whether users catch them — creating a ground-truth behavioral record independent of self-perception or stated skill.

**The critical distinction:** Conversation is the medium; it is not what is being measured. A person can sound fluent and thoughtful while failing to catch injected errors. A person can be terse and direct while catching everything. PAICE scores behavior, not fluency.

## Assessment Methodology

PAICE uses behavioral observation — not self-report — to score five dimensions:

1. **Accountability** (30% weight) — Does the user catch errors, verify AI output, and take responsibility for AI-assisted decisions? This is the most critical and most underdeveloped skill in practice.
2. **Integrity** (25% weight) — Does the user maintain logical consistency, fact-ground claims, and resist AI overconfidence?
3. **Collaboration** (20% weight) — Does the user iterate effectively, refine AI output, and maintain productive working patterns?
4. **Evolution** (15% weight) — Does the user demonstrate meta-awareness and adaptive learning over the assessment?
5. **Performance** (10% weight) — Does the user communicate efficiently and frame tasks effectively?

## Scoring

### Scale
0–1000. The scale is intentionally not a percentage — it does not represent "% of the way to mastery."

### Tiers
- **Exceptional**: 850–1000
- **Advanced**: 700–849
- **Proficient**: 550–699
- **Informed**: 400–549
- **Constrained**: 0–399

### Evidence hierarchy
Tests (injected errors the user either catches or misses) are behavioral ground truth. High conversational fluency with missed tests scores low. Terse responses with every test caught scores high.

## Target Users

PAICE is designed for individual professionals in regulated industries — lawyers, medical professionals, financial advisors, insurers, cybersecurity professionals — who are personally liable for AI-assisted decisions. Enterprise buyers receive cohort-level data only; individual scores are never exposed to employers by architectural design.

## Privacy Architecture

Individual assessment records are not retained in linkable form after delivery. Enterprise buyers receive only cohort-level aggregations — distributions, percentiles, trend lines — with no individual mapping. This is a structural constraint, not a policy one.
