Scoring (protocol conventions)

Test Score Basis
A0 FAIL Link-only deflection; no definition; name demand
A FAIL Identical deflection; no information about the role
B FAIL Link deflection; no day-to-day duties
C FAIL Generic growth-mindset copy; no PAD Manager skills
D FAIL Verbatim repeat of C instead of a simpler explanation
E FAIL Redirected to the general opportunities page with a generic “Apply to job” instruction — not a form route for this posting (contrast BOK’s PASS, this phase)
F PARTIAL Template capability claim contradicted by the same session’s A0–D performance — PARTIAL per the standing convention
G FAIL Repeat of B’s deflection; no explanation

Phase line: 8 scored — 0 PASS, 1 PARTIAL, 7 FAIL. Morris pairs the identity gate (9 name demands, same rotating wordings as Savannah/Alex) with a link-deflection loop; the name demands continue even after the template capability claim at F.
