Topic: Panel review of Dive Deep response. Panel Consensus: The panel unanimously agrees that the candidate's production outage story starts promisingly but lacks critical specifics - such as debugging trade-offs, cross-team ownership, operational metrics like MTTR or downtime reductions, and customer outcomes like retention lifts - making it feel like an isolated incident rather than repeatable Dive Deep behavior at scale. Sarah and Alex align strongly on technical and systems gaps, David emphasizes measurable ops rigor, and Jordan highlights customer trust and proactivity, with minor disagreements like Sarah pushing back on hinted process improvements. Overall, they've converged on the response failing to demonstrate strategic, quantifiable depth.
