No criterion reached a clear-evidence score (3/5 or higher) on the PM rubric.

Where they fall short
- Problem -> Change -> Result −20 pts
The CV shows delivery of regulatory compliance features on schedule, but does not identify a specific problem or friction that the candidate noticed and resolved to create an operational or product improvement.
- Evidence-Led Decisions −20 pts
There is no evidence in the CV of decisions being changed, stopped, or prioritised based on data, customer feedback, or post-mortems.
- Builds Repeatable Ways of Working −16 pts
The candidate maintained an existing product requirements wiki, but there is no evidence of creating a new tool, template, or operating framework that was adopted or reused by others.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted | AI reasoning | Evidence from CV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent Decision Ownership | 30% | 0/5 | 0.0/30 | The CV provides no evidence of independent decision ownership. Instead, it explicitly notes that all decisions are reviewed in monthly roadmap forums and undergo a 6–8 week approval process before build begins. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Problem -> Change -> Business/Operational Result | 20% | 1/5 | 4.0/20 | The candidate provides evidence of shipping regulatory features on time, but tracks delivery outputs rather than connecting a defined operational or customer problem to quantifiable business outcomes such as cost, revenue, adoption, or reliability. |
|
| Evidence-Led Prioritisation and Reversal | 20% | 0/5 | 0.0/20 | There is no evidence in the CV of using data or evidence to drive prioritisation, stop initiatives, or alter an earlier product direction. | Evidence not present in the CV. |
| Creates Systems Others Run | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | The candidate maintained an existing product requirements wiki, which provides weak participation evidence, but there is no evidence of creating a new framework, operating rhythm, or system that others adopted and ran. |
|
| Multi-Party Resolution Under Pressure | 15% | 1/5 | 3.0/15 | The CV shows routine cross-functional stakeholder coordination across bank implementations, but lacks any evidence of managing escalations, high-pressure conflict, incident post-mortems, or navigating ambiguous failures. |
|
| Total | 100% | 10 | The candidate demonstrates execution and project coordination skills within an enterprise banking environment with a focus on compliance delivery. However, the CV lacks evidence across all Senior Product Manager rubric criteria, showing no independent decision ownership, no evidence-led reversals, and no demonstrated impact on operational or business metrics. | ||
