SHOWCASE vs Bryq for testing AI skills
Both test how candidates work with AI. Bryq is a broader assessment platform with an AI fluency simulation included. SHOWCASE does one thing: a real task with Claude, with the full session recorded.
| SHOWCASE | Bryq | |
|---|---|---|
| The task | A realistic task inside a made-up company, with real files and problems planted in them. The candidate uses Claude in a chat or in Claude Code. | “A realistic, simulation-based task,” about 15 minutes. “Tool-agnostic,” not tied to a specific AI tool. |
| The result | A level from L1 to L5 with the reasons, the moments worth watching, and a full replay. | “A five-dimension profile scored 0 to 100,” matched to one of three fluency levels. |
| What it measures | Setting Claude up, handing off work, checking it, steering and correcting it, owning the result. | Task strategy, prompting, critical evaluation, ethical use, and workflow integration. |
| Who decides | A person on your team must read the reasons and confirm or change the level. | Not stated on the AI fluency page. |
| Other tests | None. AI skills only. | Cognitive, personality, skills, and culture fit. |
| Price | $5 per test. | Pro from $69 a month billed annually ($828 a year) for 1–15 employees, unlimited invitations. Enterprise by quote. |
