Why they fit

Problem -> Change -> Result 25%
The CV provides repeated, strong examples of identifying friction points in compliance and onboarding, implementing product solutions, and delivering substantial measurable outcomes such as an 80% ticket reduction and an 18% conversion lift.

Where they fall short

Evidence-Led Decisions −12 pts
The candidate notes making principled architectural decisions against high-maintenance designs based on evaluated constraints, and conducting user research and drop-off analysis. However, the CV lacks detailed narrative showing a specific decision being changed, stopped, or reprioritised in response to evidence along with what happened afterward.
Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −12 pts
The CV highlights instrumenting tracking events that reduced rework across teams and establishing foundational processes from scratch. It partially meets the criteria but lacks explicit evidence of designing a reusable tool, template, or operating framework that was subsequently adopted by others as standard practice.
Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −12 pts
The candidate demonstrates cross-functional execution across engineering, compliance, and external vendors in complex regulatory domains. However, there is no direct evidence of resolving a messy failure or operational escalation and driving long-term post-fix closure.

Rubric breakdown: SPM

PM (applied)SPM

Criterion	Weight	Score	Weighted	AI reasoning	Evidence from CV
Independent Decision Ownership	30%	2/5	12.0/30	The CV shows strong end-to-end product ownership and mentions balancing compliance, conversion, and reliability, as well as making architectural decisions against high-maintenance setups. However, it lacks specific examples detailing consequential business decisions made autonomously under uncertainty, with clear articulation of the trade-offs and outcomes.	“Owned end-to-end sender and receiver journeys for regulated cross-border payment flows across multiple LACA markets, balancing compliance, conversion, reliability, and transaction integrity at scale.” “Identified scalability constraints in UI-dependent automation systems and made principled decisions against high-maintenance architectures.”
Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result	20%	5/5	20.0/20	The candidate provides multiple strong, quantified examples of turning customer and operational friction into major business improvements. Demonstrated outcomes include unlocking $1.6M in incremental monthly transaction value, increasing KYC verification by 36%, and decreasing support tickets by ~80%.	“Led redesign of first-time user KYC onboarding in partnership with third-party verification vendors and compliance teams; introduced clearer status transparency and recovery flows, increasing successful verifications by 36% while maintaining regulatory adherence.” “Improved transaction conversion by 18% by simplifying high-friction compliance steps and error-recovery flows, unlocking approximately $1.6M in incremental monthly transaction value.” “Launched multilingual, AI-powered support and intent-resolution flows with human-in-the-loop safeguards, reducing inbound support tickets by ~80% while preserving accuracy, and customer trust.” 1 AI quote(s) discarded: not found verbatim in CV
Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal	20%	2/5	8.0/20	There is clear evidence of using behavioral drop-off analysis and experimentation to drive optimizations and evaluate architectural trade-offs. What is missing is an explicit example where new evidence led the candidate to reverse or materially alter an earlier direction.	“Owned onboarding and mandate setup journeys, reducing drop-offs in regulated consent and debit flows through behavioral drop-off analysis and UX iteration.” “Identified scalability constraints in UI-dependent automation systems and made principled decisions against high-maintenance architectures.”
Creates Systems Others Run	15%	2/5	6.0/15	The CV shows foundational product setup and event instrumentation that improved clarity and reduced rework by 20%. However, evidence that these standards or frameworks became self-sustaining operating systems run independently by others is only partial.	“Instrumented key payment and investment events, reducing development rework by ~20% and improving cross-team clarity.” “Established core product foundations from zero, defining product vision, roadmap, success metrics, and backlog prioritization to support rapid scale.”
Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure	15%	1/5	3.0/15	The CV details cross-functional coordination with engineering, compliance, and vendor teams across multiple countries, but does not provide direct evidence of leading through crisis, high pressure, post-mortems, or escalation management. The evidence reflects standard partner alignment rather than resolving high-stakes conflict or failure.	“Led redesign of first-time user KYC onboarding in partnership with third-party verification vendors and compliance teams; introduced clearer status transparency and recovery flows, increasing successful verifications by 36% while maintaining regulatory adherence.” “Partnered with regional, engineering, and compliance teams to launch digital payment experiences across Peru, Panama, and Argentina, driving 24–28% transaction growth across markets.”
Total	100%		49	The candidate is exceptionally strong at driving measurable business and operational results from concrete customer problems, showcasing significant revenue and conversion gains. Fit is weaker on organizational processes, decision ownership under uncertainty, and managing multi-party escalations under pressure, where the CV provides only partial or indirect evidence against the rubric criteria.

Scoring scale

0: No evidence in the CV
1: Indirect or participation-only evidence

5: Repeated, strong examples fully matching the description, with results

Weighted contribution = score ÷ 5 × weight. Every quote is checked against the CV text; if none can be verified, the score is capped at 1.
