Where the questions come from

Built from 57 real UK interviews.Not scraped from the internet.

A question bank is easy to invent: take a job advert, ask a model for plausible questions, publish. This one started somewhere harder — inside the interviews themselves, with the people who sat them.

  1. 01

    Real interviews, transcribed

    57 planning and project-controls interviews from across UK infrastructure — captured as full transcripts rather than recalled afterwards.

  2. 02

    De-identified, before anything else

    Employer names, candidate names and any detail that could point back to a specific room are removed at the transcript stage. Nothing identifying ever reaches the question bank.

  3. 03

    Answered against the standards

    Every question is given an expert model answer and key points grounded in NEC4, AACE, DCMA 14-point, PMI/EVM and real Primavera P6 behaviour — not a generic best-practice paragraph.

  4. 04

    Reviewed, then published

    Each question and its model answer is reviewed by a practitioner before it goes live — 752 questions across 24 topic areas today.

A trust feature, not a footnote

De-identified so the questions can be shared

These were real conversations, shared in confidence. Every transcript is stripped of the detail that identifies people and organisations before a single question is written from it. No employer is named anywhere in the product, and no candidate is identifiable.

What survives is the part that helps you: the question, the standard it tests, and what a strong answer actually looks like.

  • No employer is named
  • No candidate is identifiable
  • Model answers written to standard

Questions, answered honestly

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI scoring work?
Your answers are assessed by Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, against four dimensions: technical accuracy, structure, communication and relevance. You get a score and written coaching feedback for every answer, instantly — no waiting for a human reviewer.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits never expire — buy a pack now and use it whenever your interview lands.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every new account starts with 3 free credits, enough for a full practice session. No card details are required to sign up.
Can I answer by voice?
Yes. You can speak your answers using built-in en-GB speech-to-text in supported browsers (Chrome and Edge work best), or type them — whichever feels closer to your real interview.
Is my data safe?
We operate under UK GDPR — see our Privacy Policy for the detail. Payments are processed by Stripe, so your card details never touch our servers, and your answers are never used to train AI models.
What roles is this for?
Today the question bank is built for planners and project controls professionals — planning engineers, senior planners and project controls managers across UK infrastructure. Dedicated Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor tracks are on the roadmap.
What if I want a refund?
Email tools@thetruetroop.com and we will look at it personally — we would rather sort it out than argue about it.
Do you offer team or employer licensing?
Yes — if you want to prepare a team of planners or run the simulator as part of your organisation’s L&D programme, contact tools@thetruetroop.com to discuss team licensing.
