Four behavioral prompts, four themes
Use the evidence to decide "Which four behavioral themes should your prepared stories map to for the Cursor values round and what makes a story land?" Explain the choice plainly.
Step 1 of 2
Four behavioral prompts, four themesrehearse one tight story per theme
"Tell me about a finding nobody wanted to hear."
Show you surfaced the uncomfortable result and followed the data over the loudest opinion
End on what the team did once they accepted it
"A study fell apart mid-flight - what did you do?"
Show self-direction with no one assigning you the fix
Flat org, no narrow job descriptions: prove you don't wait for permission
"You had 48 hours and no clean data. Go."
Show a good-enough study that still drove a decision
Bias to ship insight, not to perfect the method
"You disagreed with a PM's roadmap call. What happened?"
Change a cross-functional decision with evidence, not title
End on the decision that moved and the relationship intact
Run every behavioral story on a compressed STAR: ten seconds of situation, the bulk on the action and your specific judgment, a hard stop on the measurable result. If you're past ninety seconds and haven't reached the outcome, you over-built the setup. Land the plane.
