Example phrasing
Strong — specific, evidenced, role-appropriate
“Delivered the OKR-committed Q3 platform migration on time, ran a clean 1:1 cadence with all eight reports, promoted one senior to staff via documented evidence, and held service availability at 99.92% through a major regional outage event.”
Weak — vague, unevidenced, generic
“Strong engineering leader.”
