        "@type": "Answer",

        "@type": "Answer",

        "@type": "Answer",

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "For early-stage screening, 20–40 minutes is the standard range, long enough to generate meaningful data, short enough to protect candidate drop-off rates. Deeper assessments for later-stage candidates can run longer."
