The first verdict sets the room
The first opinion in a debrief is not independent evidence. Casey opens a fictional hiring panel by calling a candidate an easy yes. Otto turns later comments into supporting bullets. Ollie notices that an interviewer’s unanswered concern has disappeared, even though nobody discussed the example behind it.
Why it looked good
The summary sounds like quick agreement. Later comments may be following the opening verdict rather than adding independent observations.
Q1 · What is this really for?
What evidence does each interviewer have about the work this role requires?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who owns the recommendation, and have they heard each interviewer’s notes before calling it agreement?
The next move
Ollie asks each interviewer to share their recorded observations before Casey revisits the recommendation. The unanswered concern stays visible.
