Topic: Panel review of Invent and Simplify response. Panel Consensus: The panel agrees the candidate excelled in starting with the customer problem, using funnel dropoff metrics to scope a high-impact onboarding opportunity, and delivering an outcome-focused simplification with solid trade-offs in complexity and maintainability. They concur that the rationale emerged only after probing and that stronger emphasis on simplicity, iteration plans, and post-launch validation would elevate it. Disagreements focus on the severity of glossing over engineering pushback (Alex sees as key gap) versus results validating the approach (others more forgiving), and the need for direct articulation of org-scale impact (Sarah) versus customer/stakeholder trade-offs (Marcus).
