Top three gaps, one action each

Use "Top three gaps, one action each" to explain each part and the role it plays.

Step 1 of 3

Top three gaps, one action eachGap plan

Gap 1 (weakest)
Assign reps, not reading. A sub-3 in coding means three more timed primitives under the confirmed tool rules, recorded and re-scored - not another article.
Gap 2
Target the exact failure from the tape. If design lost on tradeoffs, redo one prompt focused only on defending cost and latency under pushback.
Gap 3
Build the missing story or check. If a values answer sounded rehearsed, rewrite it around a real number from your past work before you re-record.

Front-load the weakest. A 5 elsewhere cannot rescue a 2 here.

Re-confirm the logistics

Re-confirm the logisticsBefore you book

  1. 1Location and format. Confirm whether each round is remote or in person, where it happens, who joins and what you must produce.
  2. 2Tool rules. Confirm the editor, autocomplete, chat and other AI-tool rules for every technical round instead of reusing an old candidate's setup.
  3. 3Availability. Block only the time confirmed in the current schedule and leave enough margin to arrive rested and prepared.
A practice-readiness bar

Before the loop, aim to show three things in your recordings: coding under the confirmed constraints, a role-relevant design with tradeoffs and evals and a grounded account of your product experience and motivation. These are preparation goals, not published pass criteria.

QYour mock scores are: coding 5, AI-systems design 2, end-to-end build 4, values 4. How should you spend your prep week?
