  </Step>

  <Step title="The candidate joins the room">
    The candidate opens the link to a short pre-join screen showing the
    scheduled time and a notice that the session will be recorded and
    transcribed, then joins when ready.

  <Step title="The round records and transcribes automatically">

    no separate setup step for panelists.

  </Step>

  <Step title="AI generates the competency report">
    The transcript is analyzed against the role's rubric, the same way as a
    Microsoft Teams panel round, and the result feeds into the candidate's
    Unified Report. See [Unified Report](/guides/unified-report).
