## How to use

Each row is one eligible interviewer. Columns are the competency IDs from `1-competency-library.md`. Each cell is the level band(s) the interviewer is calibrated to score that competency on. Empty cell = not calibrated; the skill will not assign.

The skill reads this matrix in step 4 (interviewer assignment) and matches by:

1. Calibration fit (interviewer is calibrated on the competency at the candidate's level band).
2. Load — at most one stage per loop per interviewer.
3. Diversity — at least one interviewer from outside the hiring team when the eligible pool allows.

## Pool

## Calibration discipline

When you add an interviewer or extend an interviewer's coverage:

- They sit shadow on at least 2 interviews at the new level band, then reverse-shadow (they score, the calibrated interviewer audits) on at least 2 more.
- Both calibrated interviewer and new interviewer sign off in the matrix before the cell is added.
- Retire a calibration band if the interviewer has not used it in 6 months. The "Last interview" column is the trigger to re-calibrate.

## Outside-the-hiring-team rule

The skill prefers at least one interviewer outside the hiring team per loop, to reduce consensus bias in debriefs. To make this work:

- Tag each interviewer's `Team` accurately.
- Ensure the eligible pool for each role family includes at least 2 outside-team interviewers per must-have competency at the role's level. If it does not, the skill will assign in-team only and surface a TODO ("expand cross-team calibration for {competency}").
