Where they fall short
- Evidence-Led Decisions −16 pts
There is indirect evidence of collecting data to support business targeting and building analytics dashboards. However, the CV does not show any decision being prioritised, altered, or stopped based on evidence.
- Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −16 pts
The candidate developed automated testing workflows, which indicates creating a repeatable technical process. However, there is no evidence of establishing operating methods, templates, or review processes that were adopted and reused by others across teams.
- Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −16 pts
The CV mentions investigating and resolving production issues and coordinating with QA and development teams. There is no evidence of leading an ambiguous or messy problem across functions through to full closure and post-resolution follow-up.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted | AI reasoning | Evidence from CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent Decision Ownership | 30% | 0/5 | 0.0/30 | Evidence is not present. The CV details execution-oriented responsibilities such as gathering requirements and designing workflows, but contains no examples of independent, consequential decision-making, trade-offs, or their consequences. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result | 20% | 1/5 | 4.0/20 | The CV mentions resolving production issues and creating testing workflows with vague qualitative improvements. However, it lacks specific problem contexts, candidate-driven interventions, and quantified operational or business metrics. |
|
| Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal | 20% | 0/5 | 0.0/20 | Evidence is not present. Although the candidate mentions building analytics dashboards and tracking KPIs, there is no evidence of using data to decide what to pursue, stop, or reverse. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Creates Systems Others Run | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | The CV provides indirect hints through dashboards and automated workflows built for team use. However, there is no evidence of establishing repeatable operating systems, frameworks, or governance practices adopted by others as an ongoing way of working. |
|
| Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | Resolving production issues provides an indirect hint of issue resolution. However, there is no evidence of managing multi-stakeholder pressure, escalations, post-mortems, or driving contentious situations through uncertainty to closure. |
|
| Total | 100% | 10 | The candidate's profile demonstrates early-career experience centered on business analysis, workflow design, and tactical feature delivery. Across all rubric criteria, there is an absence of senior-level product ownership, such as autonomous high-stakes decision-making, measurable business results, data-backed strategic pivots, and multi-party alignment under pressure. | ||
