Why they fit
No criterion reached a clear-evidence score (3/5 or higher) on the SPM rubric.
Where they fall short
- Independent Decision Ownership −24 pts
The candidate has indirect evidence of decision ownership through founder roles, but the CV does not articulate specific consequential decisions, evaluated trade-offs, or their consequences.
- Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal −16 pts
There is indirect mention of prioritization criteria during validation, but there is no evidence of an evidence-led reversal or material alteration of an earlier direction.
- Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure −15 pts
Evidence is not present in the CV regarding incident response, escalation management, or driving multi-stakeholder resolutions under pressure.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted | AI reasoning | Evidence from CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Problem -> Change -> Result | 25% | 2/5 | 10.0/25 | The candidate reports improving campaign ROI by 12% through optimization and addressing hiring inefficiencies with UX design, but the CV lacks a detailed end-to-end narrative linking an identified problem to a concrete product or workflow change and its measurable outcome. |
|
| Evidence-Led Decisions | 20% | 1/5 | 4.0/20 | The CV mentions rapid validation of product ideas and data-driven optimization, but does not provide a specific example of a product decision being made, altered, or stopped due to evidence, nor what happened afterward. |
|
| Builds Repeatable Ways of Working | 20% | 1/5 | 4.0/20 | The candidate mentions building and structuring core team operations, but provides no evidence of creating specific repeatable tools, templates, processes, or operating frameworks that were adopted or reused by others. |
|
| Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure | 20% | 0/5 | 0.0/20 | There is no evidence in the CV of taking an ambiguous or messy problem across multiple functions through to resolution, handling escalations, or conducting follow-up after an immediate fix. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Gets to the Source Before Designing the Fix | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | The CV notes developing an understanding of customer pain points and aligning stakeholder needs, but lacks evidence of firsthand direct user observation or discovery directly changing a product or process design. |
|
| Total | 100% | 21 | The candidate demonstrates early-stage startup and founder exposure across product prototyping, marketing optimization, and partnerships. However, the CV lacks concrete, detailed examples of evidence-led decision-making, resolving complex cross-functional ambiguity, creating repeatable operating methods, or linking firsthand user discovery to resulting product changes. | ||
