Portfolio Project
Describe a portfolio or side-project idea and Seba scores it on six weighted dimensions for your target role — then returns a clear BUILD / SKIP / PIVOT verdict, an 80/20 plan, and an interview pack to talk about it. Billed per run.
A verdict on the idea before you spend weeks building
Scored, not vibes
Seba rates six weighted dimensions 1-5 against your target role, so the verdict rests on a clear rubric instead of a gut call.
A clear BUILD / SKIP / PIVOT
You get a decision, not a maybe — BUILD with milestones, SKIP with what to do instead, or PIVOT to a higher-impact variant.
An 80/20 plan
For an approved idea, Seba lays out week 1 to MVP with the core metric and week 2 to polish plus the interview pack.
Built for interviews
An approved project comes with a one-pager, a demo plan and a short postmortem — so it lands when you talk about it. Billed per run.
How the project is scored
Six weighted dimensions plus the plan and pack behind the verdict.
- Signal for target roles (25%) — does it demonstrate a real JD skill
- Uniqueness (20%) — has it been done to death or is it fresh
- Demo-ability (20%) — a live demo in two minutes vs code-only
- Metrics potential (15%) — clear latency, cost or accuracy numbers
- Time to MVP (10%) — one week vs three-plus months
- Story potential (10%) — rich trade-offs vs implementation only
- Interview pack — one-pager, demo or live URL, short postmortem
- 80/20 plan — week 1 to MVP with the metric, week 2 to polish
- Verdict — BUILD, SKIP, or PIVOT to a higher-impact variant

Frequently asked questions
What does the evaluation return?+
A scorecard across six weighted dimensions, a BUILD / SKIP / PIVOT verdict, an 80/20 build plan and — for an approved idea — an interview pack with a one-pager, demo plan and postmortem.
What are the six dimensions?+
Signal for target roles, uniqueness, demo-ability, metrics potential, time to MVP and story potential — each scored 1-5 and weighted, with signal weighted highest.
Does Seba build the project for me?+
No. Seba evaluates the idea and returns the verdict, plan and pack as a deliverable in the chat. Building the project is up to you — Seba gives you the plan to do it.
Does it use my target role?+
Yes — it scores signal against your target role, pulled from your saved profile or asked for up front, so the verdict fits your actual job search.
What if my idea isn’t great?+
Seba says so honestly — a SKIP comes with what to do instead, and a PIVOT proposes a higher-impact variant rather than leaving you stuck.
How much does it cost?+
Credits are billed per run and Seba shows the cost before it starts. Start free with welcome credits; credits never expire.
