Methodology
Aster does not decide who gets admitted. It turns an interview into organized, traceable evidence — and gives that evidence to the people who do decide.
The Journey
Your admissions team selects the values and indicators that matter. Aster evaluates against those — nothing else.
A typed interview on a laptop or desktop, with an optional recorded video response. Each follow-up responds to what the applicant actually said.
Every response is stored exactly as given, with timestamps. Transcript reliability is checked before any analysis runs.
Observations are tied to specific transcript passages. If there is no passage, there is no claim.
Each dimension is labeled Strong, Moderate, Limited, or Insufficient evidence. Thin evidence is reported as thin — never as weakness.
Reviewers inspect the evidence, open the transcript at the exact moment, and make every decision themselves.
Evaluation Principles
Aster does not produce psychometric scores. It reports how much interview evidence supports each observation.
What the applicant said is shown apart from what it may suggest, so reviewers can disagree with the interpretation.
Aster does not diagnose personality, analyze faces or appearance, or infer protected characteristics.
If a topic was not explored, the report says so. Underexplored areas are flagged for follow-up, not penalized.
