Question 1
Federal programs need a development map, not another hiring exam. Fifty questions. Occupational-family maps for research and discussion. ID-only — no personnel file. Not USAJOBS, not an IQ score, and not a hiring, ranking, cutoff, grade, clearance, or referral device.
USAJOBS posts openings. People still apply there. The ten-point fit comparison lives on the product page, after what we do: realworldcareers.com/federal#usajobs. USA Hire / OPM remain the hiring-exam path. We are not a substitute for those.

| For that one person | What it is |
|---|---|
| The assessment | 50 questions, ~45–60 minutes, how they think at work |
| The report | Six-domain profile + occupational families for discussion. Same fifty-question sitting as the public $199. One-page Federal Fit sample → |
| How you find it | The seat wallet. Download PDF on that row for one year. The same PDF is emailed to the buyer. Sample dashboard → |
| How you keep it | Download the one-page PDF. It is yours. We do not store a name. After one year we delete our copy |
| When they can take it | Anytime. Seats do not expire. One completer per seat |
The written item is the SOW: RWC office statement of work.
Question 3
| Fact | Status |
|---|---|
| The number | No product-specific retention outcome is claimed. |
| Employer | Verified employment context. Not a federal agency. No CPARS |
| What it is | Observational. Not a randomized trial. Not proof the next cohort hits these rates |
| What it is not | Not a job guarantee. Not a qualification determination. Not federal past performance |
Full write-up: case-retention-9-month. Method class: research evidence.
Question 4
| Use | Agency still must | |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration / counseling | Permitted | Tell participants this is not a qualification determination |
| Internal mobility / development | Permitted | Human review. Do not auto-route people solely on scores |
| Workforce planning / series language | Permitted | Treat maps as decision support, not authorized staffing tables |
| Screening, ranking, cutoffs, selection | Prohibited as sold | If the agency later wants selection use, it needs current job analysis and its own validity evidence under OPM/EEOC rules. ALA does not sell Federal Fit as a pass/fail or ranking device |
ALA responsibilities: label intended use at kickoff; no eligibility, grade, clearance, or hire output; export for the agency’s file. Agency responsibilities: job analysis before any selection use; adverse-impact monitoring if they expand use; human decision-maker. Gap table for CHCO/EEO: validation gap-assessment. OPM: job analysis. EEOC: Uniform Guidelines Q&A.
Question 5
File: SSP-lite · vendor security assessment · architecture.
Question 6
Vendor self-assessment ACR (Revised Section 508 / VPAT®-style), criterion-level WCAG 2.1 A/AA, dated 29 Aug 2026. Micro-purchases are not exempt from Section 508. Download: ACR.
Question 7
Federal-specific addendum: data processing. The public privacy policy is not a substitute for that addendum.
Question 8
Question 9
| Measure | Owner | Target / rule |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline keep or time-to-fill (if the agency has it) | Agency | Provided at kickoff or marked “not available” |
| Invite completion rate | ALA export | 70% of invited seats completed in 30 days is a delivery success, not a retention success |
| Usable-profile rate | ALA | Completed sessions produce a six-domain report |
| Participant experience | Agency optional pulse | Not scored by ALA |
| Mobility / placement actions | Agency | 30/60/90-day actions the agency logs. ALA does not place federal staff |
| Final briefing | Joint | Accepted or issues listed in writing |
| Expansion | Agency | Only after intended-use lock remains exploration/mobility/development |
| Rollback | Agency | Stop new invites. Do not use scores for selection. Unused seats stay unused |
Question 10
Being under the micro-purchase threshold does not, by itself, authorize a buy. The purchaser needs delegated authority and must follow agency procedures. Commercial click-through terms can be problematic — use the SOW and this packet. FAR 13.2 · 13.3.
W-9 and SAM representations: sent to the contracting officer on request (email team@). Do not treat this page as a completed Representations and Certifications file — pull live SAM.
