The MinTraq readiness lens for CD PROJEKT
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at CD PROJEKT.
For studio roles, connect your craft to playable results rather than presenting technique alone. For GOG roles, connect your skills to a usable PC game distribution experience.
Prepare to explain decisions made with incomplete information, especially when creative goals, technical constraints and delivery needs compete.
For leadership roles, consider how you would align specialists across disciplines or locations while keeping decisions clear and work moving.
Be ready to discuss where AI could support your craft or workflow, and where human judgement remains important for creative quality and player trust.
