SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Recruiting and assessment products often overclaim leadership potential from thin evidence like a single conversation, a resume, or a screenshot. This Skill applies Claudio Fernández-Aráoz's publicly documented potential model (motivation, curiosity, insight, engagement, determination) to review whether evidence actually supports potential-related claims, and forces abstention when it does not. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence Sufficiency Gate: Requires a defined target role, multiple independent behavioral episodes, concrete outcomes, corroboration beyond self-description, and disconfirming evidence before any potential judgment is allowed. - Structured Review Workflow: Separates current performance, readiness for a named next role, and long-term potential, then scores each trait against a 0-4 rubric with explicit anti-patterns (e.g., verbosity is not curiosity, overwork is not determination). - Product and UI Review: Evaluates assessment interfaces for provenance, longitudinal views, counterevidence, and prominent uncertainty, rejecting single composite potential scores. - Use Case: A recruiter reviews a candidate profile generated from one interview transcript. The Skill returns abstain with score: null, flags the insufficient evidence, and recommends a structured follow-up question and an independent reference source instead of a speculative trait label. ## Quick Start Use executive-potential-evidence to review whether the evidence in this candidate file supports any claim about leadership potential, and abstain if it does not.

Frequently Asked Questions about executive-potential-evidence

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess executive potential from interview evidence?▼

Assess executive potential by requiring a defined target role, multiple independent behavioral episodes with concrete outcomes, and corroboration beyond self-description. Score motivation, curiosity, insight, engagement, and determination on a 0-4 rubric, and abstain if evidence sufficiency is below 3.

What is the Fernández-Aráoz potential model for leadership assessment?▼

The model evaluates the right motivation plus four traits: curiosity, insight, engagement, and determination. It emphasizes in-depth interviews, concrete examples, reference checks, and development context rather than snap impressions or resume prestige.

Can executive potential be assessed from a single conversation?▼

No. A single conversation or short episode is insufficient for a person-level potential judgment. The correct output in that case is abstain with a null score, plus a recommended follow-up question or additional evidence source.

How do I detect overclaiming in a leadership assessment product?▼

Check whether the product shows provenance, longitudinal evidence, counterexamples, and prominent uncertainty. Reject single composite potential scores, trait inference from writing style or appearance, and badges derived from resume prestige.

What are the limitations of trait-based potential scoring?▼

Public four-trait descriptions are a conceptual lens, not a validated instrument, and proprietary assessments cannot be reproduced. Scores require local criterion validation and should never be averaged to bypass an evidence sufficiency failure.
