# Candidate Rejection Feedback Consistency Check

## Inputs
Rejection feedback drafts, interview score records and the approved selection criteria for the role.

## Workflow
1. Match each feedback statement to a criterion and its recorded evidence.
2. Flag feedback citing criteria outside the role's approved set.
3. Confirm feedback stays factual and consistent across candidates at the same stage.
4. Return flagged drafts without sending feedback.

## Output contract
Candidate | feedback point | criterion | evidence exists | consistent | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional drafts: 5 candidates at the same stage; 4 cite scored criteria and 1 cites 'culture fit', which is not an approved criterion. Flag the one draft.

## Review gates
Re-check that every cited criterion exists in the requisition. Unrecorded impressions never become candidate feedback.
