Where they fall short
- Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −20 pts
There is no evidence in the CV of the candidate creating a template, tool, operating method, or documentation system that was adopted or reused by others.
- Evidence-Led Decisions −16 pts
The CV mentions conducting analyses and preparing memos, but there is no evidence of a decision being changed, stopped, or prioritized based on operational or customer data, nor what happened after such a decision.
- Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −16 pts
The CV lists multi-stakeholder coordination in event management and relief volunteering, but lacks evidence of driving a messy cross-functional workplace problem or failure through resolution and post-fix follow-up.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted | AI reasoning | Evidence from CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent Decision Ownership | 30% | 1/5 | 6.0/30 | The CV provides indirect evidence of initiative through startup co-founding and leading GTM initiatives as an intern. However, there are no documented examples of consequential product decisions made under uncertainty, trade-offs evaluated, or their resulting impacts. |
|
| Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result | 20% | 2/5 | 8.0/20 | The candidate demonstrates partial evidence by addressing bottlenecks and structuring client tax plans. However, product interventions lack quantified operational outcomes (e.g., latency metrics or retention), offering only qualitative improvements or top-of-funnel launch metrics. |
|
| Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal | 20% | 0/5 | 0.0/20 | Evidence is not present. The CV contains no examples of using evidence to prioritise work, define trade-offs, or materially alter/reverse a strategic or product direction. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Creates Systems Others Run | 15% | 0/5 | 0.0/15 | Evidence is not present. The candidate has not demonstrated creating repeatable frameworks, documentation standards, or operational systems that were subsequently adopted and run by others. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | The CV shows participation-level evidence in a high-pressure crisis scenario during volunteer relief work. However, there is no evidence of professional escalation management, incident post-mortems, or resolving complex multi-stakeholder business issues. |
|
| Total | 100% | 17 | The candidate demonstrates strong early initiative across student leadership, internships, and early startup ventures. However, the CV does not meet the Senior Product Manager rubric requirements, showing an absence of evidence in consequential decision ownership, data-led reversals, scalable systems creation, and professional multi-stakeholder resolution under pressure. | ||
