AIQ Rank

2026-04-26 · Methodology refresh

How dimensions are measured just changed

Renamed. context_leverage → async_delegation. Same underlying signal; clearer name.
Three new Claude dims. Practice Depth, Bespoke Practice, and Parallel Workstreams — all computable from data we already capture.
Four removed. Prompt Efficiency, Tool Diversity, Conversation Depth, and Basic Chat are no longer scored. They were either constant across users or saturated at the top of the cohort.
Scores rescored. Every existing score has been recomputed under the new methodology. Score history pre-this-date has been trimmed so the sparkline reflects the new normal, not a methodology-shift artifact.

Two leaderboards. Claude Code and OpenAI Codex each have their own leaderboard, reachable from the top nav. The "Leaderboard" word is replaced with two short links — Claude and Codex — each with a podium icon.
/leaderboard hub page. When you visit /leaderboard, pick which one you want.
One tool at a time on your profile. Your profile shows your score for one tool, with a small tab switcher when you have both.

Cowork sessions counted. If you use Claude Cowork (the autonomous-agent mode), AIQ Rank now scans those sessions in addition to your interactive Claude Code transcripts.
New rows on your profile. Cowork sessions, Cowork messages, and Queue events appear in the "Raw activity" section when you have any. Hidden when you don't.

Your role sets the bar. Designers, marketers, founders and other non-engineers were graded against engineer-level usage, so they couldn't reach S-tier without behaving like engineers. Each role now has its own calibration — exceptional-for-a-marketer counts as exceptional, with proportionally less raw activity. The 1000 ceiling is reachable for every role.
Change your division in one click. A dropdown next to "Division" on your profile lets you switch role without leaving the page. Your score recomputes automatically.

Public /changelog page. What you're reading now.
Cleaner leaderboard headers. Dropped the "AIQ RANK · LEADERBOARD" eyebrow and the "Ranked by AI proficiency score" lead-in. The leaderboard speaks for itself.
Division label on your profile. A clean role label under your handle.
Activity chart moved above the radar. You see your trend over time before your dimension breakdown.

New "Stage X.Y" chip next to your tier, mapping your activity to Steve Yegge's 8-stage developer-agent evolution model (Stage 5 "Editing Agents" through Stage 8 "Autonomous Agents" for Claude Code; 5–6 for Codex). A small "?" next to the chip links to Steve's "Welcome to Gas Town" post so you can read what each stage means.
