  1. 01 · The database

    Use the connection string above to open the erp schema. You can read every table. The table and column comments hold clues.

  2. 02 · The hunt

    Find the one 1005 Labs posting that is live today. It holds the job description and your claim token. Aim to finish in ten minutes.

  3. 03 · The proof

    Email krishnabala@1005labs.com with the token as the subject. Tell us how you found it, which rows you rejected and why, and the first fix you would make to this schema.

Use any tool you like.

  • psql, DBeaver, TablePlus, DataGrip
  • Claude Code, Cursor or Codex with a Postgres MCP
  • A notebook: psycopg + pandas, 20 lines
  • Your own agent: give it the connection string and the question

We expect you to use agents. If an agent did the work, send us its transcript or script. We care about what you noticed and which rows you rejected. The strongest answers explain both.

The database is a throwaway project filled with made-up data. Your login runs SELECT queries on one schema, so explore freely. At 1005 Labs we build the Dash, Vision and Flash agents.
