Why they fit
No criterion reached a clear-evidence score (3/5 or higher) on the PM rubric.
2
Where they fall short
- Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −20 pts
There is no evidence in the CV of the candidate creating tools, templates, processes, or operating models that were adopted or reused by others.
- Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −20 pts
Evidence for this criterion is not present in the CV. The CV does not show any examples of driving an ambiguous, cross-functional issue or escalation from identification through to closure and follow-up.
- Evidence-Led Decisions −16 pts
The CV shows engagement with A/B testing and qualitative research, but provides no concrete example of a decision being changed, stopped, or prioritized because of evidence.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted | AI reasoning | Evidence from CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent Decision Ownership | 30% | 1/5 | 6.0/30 | The CV shows the candidate leading a redesign within a sub-area, but notes significant cross-team dependency on other PMs. There is no evidence of consequential decisions, trade-offs made under uncertainty, or independent calls made without senior oversight. |
|
| Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result | 20% | 3/5 | 12.0/20 | The CV offers one clear example linking the candidate's action to a quantified result: redesigning the discovery flow resulted in an 11% conversion rate improvement in an A/B test. However, there are no repeated examples demonstrating this across broader operational or business problems. |
|
| Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal | 20% | 1/5 | 4.0/20 | While the candidate employs A/B testing and monthly user research, there is no evidence detailing what was pursued, stopped, or materially reversed based on that evidence. |
|
| Creates Systems Others Run | 15% | 0/5 | 0.0/15 | There is no evidence in the CV of designing or implementing a repeatable process, standard, or system that was subsequently adopted and operated by other team members. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure | 15% | 0/5 | 0.0/15 | Evidence is not present. The CV does not detail any instances of escalation handling, incident post-mortems, or driving cross-functional resolution under pressure. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Total | 100% | 22 | The candidate demonstrates strong user research fundamentals and one clear example of delivering a quantified conversion lift through an A/B tested redesign. However, the CV lacks evidence of independent decision ownership, evidence-based direction reversals, system creation, and high-pressure stakeholder alignment. Overall, the profile does not provide sufficient evidence against the Senior Product Manager rubric criteria. | ||
