Readiness assessment
See what someone can do before signing them off
Assess the conversation, system actions and decisions together. Use a shared scorecard to make readiness decisions more consistent, with human review where judgement or risk requires it.

What changed
When this becomes a priority
Knowledge tests miss execution gaps
Someone can recall a rule but miss a critical step while speaking to a customer. Assess the applied task as well as the underlying knowledge.
Human assessments can use different standards
Different assessors can emphasise different behaviours. Define shared criteria and calibrate examples of acceptable performance before assessing a cohort.
Leaders need evidence beyond a completed exercise
Review why a learner passed, which errors remain and when escalation is appropriate. Keep the evidence tied to the responsibilities the person will take on.

Set criteria for this role and scenario. Use the feedback to guide another attempt or a conversation with a trainer.
Communication
Explain boundaries respectfully
System actions

Judgement
Escalate rather than bypass a critical check
