The candidate’s verified technical execution or domain depth does not meet the established baseline for the role level.

Reviewers perform hurried 5-minute scans of complex 15-hour take-home projects, missing subtle architectural patterns and tests.

Enforce strict 3-hour scope limits on take-homes, compensate candidates for extended samples, and grade submissions blind.
