- Fit Score
- How well a candidate's skills, experience, and cognitive strengths align with a job's requirements. Uses structured ontology mapping, not keyword matching.
- Confidence Score
- How much verified evidence supports a fit score. More project details, linked accounts, and peer verification increase confidence.
- Transferability
- The ability for skills in one technology to apply to related technologies. For example, React experience transfers to Vue because they share component architecture patterns.
- Cognitive Archetype
- A developer's dominant problem-solving style, derived from patterns in their work history. Not a personality test — it reflects how they approach technical challenges.
- Ontology
- DevCard's structured knowledge graph of technologies, skills, and their relationships. It enables matching beyond keywords by understanding how skills connect and transfer.
