Stress-test a candidate positioning against track record and market

Packaged know-how that tells an agent how to do a job well.

You might say…

The positioning felt right in my head — this is where I find out if it's actually earned by the work or just aspirational.

What it does

Takes a candidate problem-type or domain focus plus your track record and pressure-tests it against evidence, market demand, and what must be de-emphasised to commit.

Trigger: Use during the decision sitting to interrogate a candidate direction before committing; needs the gap analysis as context.

I/O: Candidate positioning + track record + market context → stress-test verdict with evidence gaps and de-emphasis requirements flagged

Recognise the problem?

The primitives are the commodity part. The fastest next step is a conversation about composing them into something that works for you.
