How to Check Score Band Borderline Cases With Claude

Preparation-only workflow using reviewed files and explicit outputs. Uploading Markdown is reference context, not a native skill installation or permission to act.

Review candidates within one band of the cut line before applying the cut.

1. Read the workflow and source

Open the complete free skill and authored Markdown download, its inputs and review gates. Read Claude project documentation for current file, plan and privacy limits. Account access is not tested here.

2. Start with approved reference files

Create a separate conversation or project for this one job. Upload the public Markdown as reference if your account supports files. This is not a plugin installation. Do not mix clients or place credentials and private records into a reusable setup instruction.

3. Run the fictional acceptance test

Fictional cut line 70, band 3 points. Scores 68 and 72 sit inside the band; excluding 68 while advancing 72 treats a 4-point spread as settled when the band says it needs review.

4. Use a narrow request

Use the attached Candidate Score Band Borderline Review and supplied fictional inputs only. Return the output contract, source IDs, original values, formulas and unknowns. No retrieval, sign-in, send, share, account change, payment or real decision.

5. Review before real data

Check each source row, unchanged original value, missing fact and arithmetic. A successful fictional result is a readiness check, not proof of real-account compatibility. Only then use authorized minimum-necessary real exports, confirm retention/access and ask the responsible owner to review the result.

Where this guide stops

No sending, sharing, ledger/CRM changes, account sign-in or spending is authorized by this guide. A separate request and the required approval govern real actions. Keep an evidence copy of the input version and reviewed output.
