What does 'ready' look like?

A consultant has spent twelve hours reading slides for a competency assessment. The evaluation requires explaining a live troubleshooting decision and handling follow-up questions.

How should they judge readiness?

Build your readiness plan

Use a non-sensitive task. Notes are not saved or sent; copy or download them before leaving.

Fictional example. Use the structure with your own observations and limits.

What must you demonstrate?: Explain an integration fault, separate observations from hypotheses and choose a safe next check.
What can you do cold, today?: On a sample case without notes, I described the symptom but could not name a result that separated two causes.
What will you rehearse in the same format as the assessment?: Explain another public case aloud, then answer a follow-up about an inconclusive result. Change the system and data details rather than memorising the first answer.
What would count as improved performance?: A reviewer can identify two plausible explanations, the separating check and its stop condition in my answer. Any missing part remains a preparation gap.
When and how will you check again?: Try a fresh case tomorrow and compare those same criteria. Keep the final evening for named gaps and logistics rather than adding a new syllabus.
