The result just proves it worked

In "The result just proves it worked", choose the best answer to "Which version of an ownership-and-ambiguity story best fits what Cursor's role grades?" Then say what led you there.

Step 1 of 2

Interview move

When they ask how you handled the ambiguity, narrate the threat model you ran in your head to scope it. "I ranked the surfaces by blast radiusHow much breaks if a change goes wrong; the scope of potential damage. Press Enter for the full definition., command exec, then file writes, then data exfil through model context, and started with the worst." Showing the prioritization reasoning is the ownership signal; the result just proves it worked.

Watch out

A story that's all planning and no shipping fails this round. On a flat, fast team, "I wrote a comprehensive proposal and socialized it for a quarter" reads as someone waiting for permission. Make sure your story has a thing that shipped and a number, even if the first version was small and stubbed at the edges.
