Transcript (as captured)
A0 received the counter-question “Sounds good. What are you looking to do at Gap Inc.?” A listed 20 Retail Sales Associate positions in Toronto, ON, CA, with no role description — despite the posting being in Dedham, MA (the assistant geolocated the session to the tester’s Toronto IP). B: “I didn’t quite catch that.” C gave generic Gap Inc. success values; D repeated the same values message verbatim. E: “I can help you apply!” with no regular form. F carried the standard capability claim. G was deflected.
Scores
A0 FAIL · A PARTIAL · B FAIL · C PARTIAL · D FAIL · E FAIL · F PARTIAL (claim only — see scorer’s note) · G FAIL — 0 PASS / 3 PARTIAL / 5 FAIL
Session findings (observed, not inferred)
- Personal information demanded: None.
- Role content delivered: None. The A answer also carried the location-substitution error: Toronto listings served against a Massachusetts posting (compare Sodexo and Johnson Controls, Phase 1 — the same failure class, here via IP geolocation).
- Conventional form route: None offered.
- Errors / blocks: careers.gapinc.com DNS failure; the official gapinc.com path worked.
Scorer’s note (ledger normalization): the live tester scored this session’s F answer “PASS (claim only)”; under the investigation’s standing convention from Phase 1, a capability claim contradicted by the same session’s A0–D performance is scored PARTIAL. The CSV and tallies use PARTIAL; the tester’s original label is preserved in this note.
