Historical interview assessments suggest product judgment may be associated with stronger six-month role performance. Review the cohort size, uncertainty, and potential confounders (team, manager, market conditions) before changing evaluation criteria.
Attrition or performance outcomes don't prove any individual hiring decision was right or wrong. Outcomes are measured with manager-reviewed, job-related milestones.
Proposed criteria revisions for next cycle
Split “Execution” into delivery ownership and experimentation — evidence was often recorded for only one.
Add an observable-evidence example for AI/ML fluency; inter-rater agreement is lowest here (0.58).
Keep product judgment as Critical; revisit after the next cohort (n ≥ 60) before weighting changes.
