Judge the judgment, not the syntax
Miatz mentors coach a hand-picked cohort on an auditable record: every answer, prompt, commit and incident call is readable, gradable and attributable. You bring the standard. The platform brings the reps, the grading assist and the telemetry.
Six hours of your judgment, amplified
Mentoring usually means repeating yourself to people who did not read the docs. Here the gate filters first, the AI absorbs the repetition, and what reaches you is a decision worth arguing about.
A hand-picked cohort, not a lecture hall
Everyone reaches you through the DSAT gate, so you coach a small group that already did the homework. Depth over headcount — the reason good engineers stop mentoring is the reason we keep cohorts small.
You see the decisions, not the deliverable
Exam answers with written reasoning, coding submissions with history, prompts, incident-drill transcripts, Mysty approvals — the whole record of how a learner decided, in one place.
Mysty absorbs the repetitive half
The AI shadow handles the tireless one-on-one explaining and flags exactly where a human should step in, so your hours land on judgment instead of syntax questions. Powered by Mysty Pie.
You help set the bar for an Itz'at
Mentor sign-off is part of what a learner's Itz'at encodes. Your standard becomes part of a credential an employer can verify — attributed, on the record.
Teach the thing you can't Google
Nobody needs another syntax tutorial. What compounds is how you scope a change, argue a trade-off, and decide under an incident clock. That is the whole curriculum here.
Low ceremony, real leverage
No slide decks to build, no LMS to wrestle. Bring your review instincts; the platform brings the content, the reps, the grading assist and the telemetry.
Mentoring here is paid work
Mentoring is a compensated role, not a volunteer one. Terms are agreed per engagement, because the commitments differ — a review queue, a live session series and a capstone panel are not the same job. We do not publish a rate card or a revenue share, we do not promise a volume of learners, and nothing here is an earnings projection. You will have the terms in writing before you take a cohort.
The busywork is already handled
Everything below exists today inside the mentor and admin surfaces — grading assist, cohort views, review queues, integrity signals.
AI-assisted grading
Free-text and code answers arrive pre-graded with an explanation attached. You review, correct and add the judgment call — you do not grade from a blank page.
Cohort view & learner 360
One dashboard for the whole cohort; one page per learner with the skill wheel, growth curve, activity timeline and every artifact they produced.
Feedback anywhere
Comment on any answer, submission or attempt. The learner sees it in context on their dashboard, not in a separate inbox they never open.
Review queues
Capstones, apprenticeship projects, audio submissions and flagged attempts land in a queue with a clear next action, so nothing waits on someone remembering.
Integrity signals, not verdicts
Tab-switches, paste bursts and AI-style prose surface as review triggers for a human to weigh. Miatz never auto-fails a learner on a signal.
Admission & advancement control
Place DSAT-cleared learners into levels, unlock modules per person, and approve mastery-gated advancement against the record rather than a gut call.
Two paid roles we are building toward
Miatz Certify runs an integrity ladder, and the top of that ladder needs humans. Both roles below are in development — we are naming them now so mentors know where the bench leads, not to promise anyone a seat.
Miatz Kanan Certified ProctorBeta
Miatz Kanan is our proctoring layer (kanan — Yucatec Maya, to guard). Its live tier needs human proctors on a console: real-time session review, incident flagging, session attestations. It is intended as a paid role, and when it opens we will publish the bar and take applications from everyone.
Miatz T'aan viva moderation
Miatz T'aan is the AI oral examination (t'aan — speech). Borderline results go to human moderation: read the transcript, weigh the rubric, make the call. Also intended as a paid role for experienced mentors.
Straight about status: Miatz Kanan and Miatz T'aan are not live yet, so neither role is open and no timeline is promised. When they ship we will publish the bar and the application route publicly. Mentoring here is not a queue ticket for a future job — it is worth doing on its own terms.
Four steps, no assessment centre
We read every note. If your standard fits, we aim to have you grading within a couple of weeks.
Tell us what you'd coach
One note: your domain, the kind of engineer you'd sharpen, and roughly how many hours a week you can hold.
A conversation, not an interview loop
We talk through how you review work and where your standard is uncompromising. Thirty minutes, usually one call.
Shadow one review cycle
You read a live cohort's record and grade alongside an existing mentor, so you see the tooling before you commit.
Take a cohort
You get a cohort, the dashboard, the grading assist and a direct line to us. Scope grows only as fast as you want it to.
Send the note
Include your domain, a link to something you have built or reviewed, and the hours you can hold in a week. That is enough for us to reply properly.
Mentor FAQ
How much time does mentoring take?
Most mentors hold a few hours a week: a review pass over the cohort's submissions plus a live session. The grading assist and Mysty are there specifically so the hours go to judgment calls rather than repetitive explaining.
Do I need to build any course content?
No. The curriculum, daily reps, exams and drills already exist on the platform. You bring review instincts and standards; you can propose content changes, but nothing about mentoring requires authoring a course.
Are mentors paid?
Yes — mentoring is a compensated role. Terms are agreed per engagement rather than published as a rate card, because the scope varies: a review queue, a live session series and a capstone panel are different commitments. We do not publish a revenue share, we do not promise a volume of learners, and nothing we discuss is an earnings projection — you will have the terms in writing before you take a cohort. Miatz Kanan proctoring and Miatz T'aan moderation are also intended as paid roles, and neither is open yet.
What is Miatz Kanan Certified Proctor?
Miatz Kanan is our proctoring layer. Its live tier is staffed by human proctors working a session console. It is in development, not open yet — when it ships we intend to open a certified-proctor path as a paid role, and we will publish the bar and open applications to everyone at that point.
Is Miatz T'aan moderation open now?
Not yet. Miatz T'aan is the AI oral viva; human moderation of borderline results is planned as a paid role once the surface is live. We will publish the bar and open applications then rather than pre-committing anyone.
Can I mentor part-time while working full-time?
Yes — that is the common case. Reviews are asynchronous; only the live session needs a fixed slot, and we schedule it around you.
Do mentors decide who gets an Itz'at?
Not alone. An Itz'at is issued when mastery gates clear on the record — exams, verified skills, solved challenges, drill scores — with mentor sign-off as one input. No single person can hand one out, and no one can talk their way past a gate.
