Questions about this template
When should panelists answer it?
After the interview and before the debrief meeting, each on their own. Once the first opinion is said out loud, others tend to anchor on it, so answers given before the meeting are the closer read.
What does a split on 'I saw evidence, not just confident answers' tell me?
It often shows that some panelists heard proof and others heard polish. Start the debrief there and ask the panel for the specific answers they relied on, before anyone argues about whether to advance the candidate.
