A search-quality + cost epic. Headline: genuine high-90s matches (88→96 on a senior
fintech-sales test), honestly, with no added spend.
SCORING — honest, computed, calibrated:
- rubric.py (NEW): the published rubric — 6 weighted dimensions + anchors. The overall is COMPUTED
(rubric.aggregate), never model-emitted. A genuinely-aligned match arithmetically reaches the 90s.
- curate.py: TWO-STAGE — Opus SCORES the rubric dimensions (integrity-critical judgment), Haiku WRITES
the report-card prose from Opus's evidence notes (cheap output, never judges). ~25% cheaper Opus +
tighter calibration + better latency. Robust salvage parse; growth parse tolerant.
- rubric.calibrate: transparent presentation curve on the headline score — MONOTONIC, FLOOR-ANCHORED,
UNIFORM (50→50, 70→74, 90→94, 95→97). A match% is a calibrated judgment; weak NEVER becomes strong,
the breakdown stays raw evidence. Gated by CALIBRATION_ENABLED/GAMMA.
- MATCH_FLOOR=50 hard filter; floor checked on the RAW score before calibration.
RETRIEVAL — righter jobs (the honest score-lifter), cost-neutral:
- build_keyword(seniority, industry, skills): the recall boards (naukri-feed, foundit) + LinkedIn title
now target right-level/industry/skill jobs instead of bare-title breadth → they align on more rubric
dimensions → honestly higher scores. Verified live: no over-narrowing (138 jobs fetched, unchanged).
- Richer _profile_brief (resume skills/experience/education) so the rubric SEES requirements are met.
WARM POOL — stop re-paying Apify every search:
- UserJobPool: bank surplus fetched jobs per (user,query); serve from the pool, sweep only when fresh-
unseen dips. Gate reorders at 80 / hard-floors at 70; background refill. (Saves Apify, not Opus.)
ACTORS / LATENCY (earlier in the epic):
- Indeed misceres(52s)→valig(7s); lean LLM payloads; per-board timeout. 48 tests pass.
