# We're sharing V2 publicly for the same reason we shared V1: every company needs a frame
## Claim
Today we released our new AI Fluency Rubric. We use it for every hire, focusing on what they've actually built. Last May we open-sourced our first rubric. Hundreds of companies used it to screen candidates and develop teams.

## Mechanism
We evaluate these across Mindset, Strategy, Building, and Accountability. Every department, every hire.

## Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

## Evidence
> "We're sharing V2 publicly for the same reason we shared V1: every company needs a framework for this, and most don't have one yet."
