2 engineering missions live — find your starting point

The Engineering System Behind AI

Build, debug, and ship real AI systems through hands-on engineering missions.

A real repository, mid-incident.

You open the workspace at the moment monitoring fired. The service is healthy, the tests are green, and the model is wrong. Find out why.

Model performance collapsed after deployment

Find the root cause and ship a safe fix.

The thing that writes the code does not get to grade it.

Three separate authorities run every mission. Keeping them apart is the whole reason this is not a chat window with a repository attached.

Builder

AI coding agent

Reads the repository, forms a hypothesis, and proposes a patch you review as a diff before it lands.

Cannot decidewhether its own patch is correct.

Verifier

Deterministic

Runs 7 checks against the repository you are handing over — contract, behavior, regression. It never sees who wrote the code.

Cannot be argued withevery check passes, or the mission does not.

Mentor

Understanding

Opens only once the checks are green, then asks why the failure happened and why the fix is safe.

Cannot be skippeda green suite is not the same as knowing what shipped.

Every mission becomes evidence.

Finishing does not award a badge. The mission records what it was able to verify about you, and stays explicit about what it could not.

This is the shape of the record a graded mission writes: the skills the run can speak to, and the one it names as unproven rather than quietly leaving out.

Evidence is recorded by SolveX when the engine grades a mission, and it stays on your profile.

Recorded after 7 of 7 deterministic checks passed and the mentor question was answered.

What exists, and what does not.

Available today

2 incident missions, a deterministic verifier, a mentor gate that stays shut until the checks pass, and a three-question starting diagnostic. SolveX runs the checks and grades the explanation; there is nothing to install.

Coming later

Review and build missions alongside incidents, real repository work, and a wider library. None of it is wired yet, and nothing above depends on it.

Production is already broken.
