Live coding evidence checklist

A rehearsal card for the evidence interviewers can record while you frame, build, verify and recover during a shared-screen round.

Use this in practice

Record one practice round and score only what became visible. Correct reasoning that stayed in your head cannot enter the interview packet.

Before typing

  • Name the ambiguity that changes the design.
  • State the working assumption if the interviewer leaves the choice with you.
  • Describe the smallest correct version you intend to build first.

While building

  • Explain only decisions with a real cost: choice, reason and tradeoff.
  • Name the state owner and the lifecycle that can invalidate the work.
  • Say what result would disprove the current approach before running it.

When the approach breaks

  • Stop repeating the same assumption.
  • Reduce the problem to the smallest failing case.
  • State what a hint changed and which part of the previous model was wrong.
  • Finish with what works, what was verified and what remains unsafe.
