Why no AI / LLM script?

We use hand-crafted templates instead of LLM-generated scripts so that the advice is auditable, consistent, and free of hallucinations. The script you see is the same one a senior recruiter would write.

What if my offer is below p25?

Either the role is mis-scoped, the company is paying significantly below market, or your level was set too low. The tool will suggest re-leveling first, then counter-offering.
