## What ZT does (in one paragraph)

In 2025 India lost ~244,851 tech jobs and 75% of resumes are auto-
rejected by ATS bots before any human reads them. ZT replaces the
resume with verifiable proof: students enroll in AI/ML courses, ship
real projects every week, get them AI-graded in 30 seconds (the AI
Score), build a public portfolio at zerotheory.live/u/<username>, and
get found by recruiters who search the talent pool by skill +
verifiable score. Hire timeline: typically 12 weeks from start.
