Interview Scorecard Generator — illustrative example INPUT Create two interview criteria for a reporting role: data-quality investigation and written explanation. Use three rating anchors and an unassessed option; do not evaluate a real candidate. RESULT Data-quality investigation: 1 — identifies a symptom without testing its cause. 2 — proposes relevant checks and follows evidence. 3 — tests alternatives, explains limits and verifies the finding. Written explanation: 1 — conclusion or next step is unclear. 2 — explains the finding and action in understandable terms. 3 — adapts the explanation to the audience and preserves evidence and uncertainty. Use unassessed when the interview did not produce relevant evidence; record examples beside each rating. REVIEW Interview scorecards should use role-related criteria and observable evidence. Avoid vague culture-fit ratings or criteria introduced after meeting a candidate. This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
