3 Evaluation Dimensions

Independent axes measuring ranking quality, result volume, and data completeness.

RelevanceCoverageUtility

Methodology

Fully automated, reproducible pipeline. Every result verified against live web sources.

Step 01

Decompose the Query

“Senior ML engineer at a Series B startup in Berlin” becomes a checklist: role, seniority, domain, company stage, location.

Step 02

Verify Against the Web

Every person returned by every platform is checked against LinkedIn, company sites, and social profiles. No self-reported data - only what can be independently confirmed.

Step 03

Score on Three Axes

Relevance (did you find the right people?), Coverage (how many?), and Utility (is the profile data actually useful?). Combined into one Overall score.

What We Measure

Utility

Measures whether returned data is complete and actionable. Averages three sub-dimensions: structural completeness (C), query-specific evidence (E), and actionability (A).

(C + E + A) / 3

Relevance

Measures whether returned people match the query and are correctly ranked. Each person is web-verified and graded against explicit criteria. Padded to 10 slots - returning fewer results is penalized.

Padded nDCG@10

Coverage

Measures how many qualified people are found per query. Combines task completion rate with average qualified result yield (capped at K=10). Rewards both reliability and volume.

TCR × Yield

Key Findings

Highlights from 476 platform runs across 119 queries.
