Final readiness checklist
Name the key items in "Final readiness checklist", then explain why each one matters.
Step 1 of 2
Final readiness checklist
- I can tell one build-something story in 90 seconds with a single quantified metric and a reuse line.
- I can whiteboard enrich→score→route end to end, name the failure modes unprompted and generalize it to a primitive.
- I can build (or script) the sample flow so it survives dirty data, a dead provider, a 429 and a dedup collision.
- I can add one AI step that beats a deterministic rule and explain the guardrail that fails closed.
- I can write the funnel query at the right grain, handle nulls on purpose and state what the number misses.
- Every behavioral story is true, specific, quantified and survives its toughest follow-up.
Interview move - the go/no-go call
Make an honest go/no-go on each box above. "Go" means you'd be comfortable doing it live tomorrow; anything else is a "drill." In the last 48 hours, do not re-read the modules you already know - that feels productive and changes nothing. Spend the time on your two weakest stages: re-record the screen, re-run the design cold or have someone stress your stories. The candidate who drills the gap, not the comfort, is the one who ships from week one.
