# ErrorGolf.com

> ErrorGolf is a technical assessment platform that replaces algorithmic tests with dark humor coding challenges. Companies pay $39 per assessment to test creativity, problem-solving, and resilience through deliberately chaotic programming puzzles across multiple domains including programming (168 languages), mathematics, chemistry, physics, and human logic.

ErrorGolf operates on a "code golf" principle where the shortest, most elegant answer wins. The platform is designed to be AI-proof through abstract lateral thinking challenges that require creative interpretation rather than memorized solutions. Unlike traditional technical assessments, ErrorGolf tests experiential intelligence, fluid reasoning, and the ability to compress expertise into concise solutions.

**Business Model:** $49 one-time company setup, then $39 per candidate submission with no quotas or subscriptions. Companies get a 6-character code (e.g., HC7K9M) to distribute to candidates.

**Assessment Flow:** Candidates receive company code → browse 100 questions → select exactly 3 → submit solutions → AI analysis by 3 personality-driven reviewers → results emailed to both parties with detailed feedback.

**Key Differentiators:**
- Imagination-based testing prevents cheating (no Google/ChatGPT solutions exist)
- No time pressure (candidates work at own pace)
- Candidate chooses their own questions (no company setup required)
- AI-resistant through deliberately absurd scenarios requiring human creativity
- Viral appeal through entertaining, shareable challenges
- Tests resilience and cultural fit alongside technical skills
