Candidate paths

Different backgrounds can contribute to applied AI work.

Fit depends on the work, demonstrated capability, availability, and the needs of a specific opportunity.

Bring product direction, technical ownership, implementation skill, and a willingness to work against real constraints.

Operators and researchers

Translate domain context, evidence, workflows, stakeholder needs, and evaluation questions into practical decisions.

Emerging builders

Develop foundations, produce owned work, and build judgment through appropriately scoped learning and project contexts.

Capability sequence

Learn through GROW, prove through FDE, then apply capability in context.

Organization path

Partner around capability, projects, or workforce needs.

Employers, educators, institutions, and community organizations can describe the work, constraints, timeline, and evidence they need. Good Combinator can then determine whether an appropriate collaboration path exists.

Start with the need

Partnership intake is a request for review, not a promise that a candidate, project team, pilot, or placement will be available.
