Your decision

Why they fit

Problem -> Change -> Result 25%
The candidate provides clear examples of identifying friction, driving redesigns, and achieving measurable results in both error reduction and adoption.
Gets to the Source Before Designing the Fix 15%
The CV contains a clear example linking firsthand research (40+ user interviews with target users) directly to a redesign of the input portal and a measurable result.

Where they fall short

Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −20 pts
There is no evidence in the CV of the candidate managing an ambiguous, cross-functional issue, escalation, or failure through to completion and follow-up.
Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −16 pts
The candidate built a competitive analysis framework and managed a feedback loop, but there is no evidence that these systems or tools were subsequently adopted or reused by others as a repeatable operating practice.
Evidence-Led Decisions −12 pts
The CV shows that redesigns were informed by interviews and competitive analysis, but does not provide clear evidence of decisions being explicitly changed, stopped, or reprioritised due to data or evidence.

Rubric breakdown: SPM

PM (applied)SPM

Criterion	Weight	Score	Weighted	AI reasoning	Evidence from CV
Independent Decision Ownership	30%	1/5	6.0/30	The CV shows module ownership within a structured team reporting to a Director of Product with shared roadmap responsibility. There is no evidence of consequential decisions, trade-offs, or navigating ambiguity made independently without a senior layer.	“Works within a 6-person PM team; reports to Director of Product; owns one module with shared roadmap responsibility”
Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result	20%	4/5	16.0/20	The candidate provides clear examples directly connecting their discovery and redesign efforts to measurable operational results, specifically reducing portal data entry errors by 31% and doubling mobile leave adoption.	“Redesigned the payroll input portal based on 40+ user interviews with payroll managers and finance teams; reduced data entry errors by 31%” “Owned discovery and spec for the mobile leave application flow; redesign reduced submission friction and increased mobile adoption from 34% to 67%”
Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal	20%	2/5	8.0/20	The candidate demonstrates using user interviews and competitive analysis to inform product decisions. However, the CV completely lacks any example where evidence led to stopping a project, pivoting, or materially reversing a prior direction.	“Redesigned the payroll input portal based on 40+ user interviews with payroll managers and finance teams; reduced data entry errors by 31%” “Built competitive analysis framework for the HR tech market; presented findings to CPO quarterly”
Creates Systems Others Run	15%	2/5	6.0/15	The candidate built a competitive analysis framework and established an enterprise feedback loop. However, there is no evidence that these processes became self-sustaining systems adopted and run by others without the candidate's active involvement.	“Built competitive analysis framework for the HR tech market; presented findings to CPO quarterly” “Quarterly Business Reviews with 5 key enterprise accounts; manages product feedback loop with the enterprise customer success team”
Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure	15%	1/5	3.0/15	The candidate participates in regular cross-functional touchpoints such as QBRs and regulatory launch schedules. Evidence of managing high-stakes multi-party escalations, incidents, or resolving conflict under pressure is absent.	“Quarterly Business Reviews with 5 key enterprise accounts; manages product feedback loop with the enterprise customer success team”
Total	100%		39	The candidate demonstrates strong standard execution and quantifiable outcomes in feature adoption and error reduction within B2B SaaS. However, the CV falls short of the Senior PM rubric requirements around independent decision ownership, evidence-based direction reversals, creating self-sustaining operational systems, and handling multi-party crises under pressure.
