Every Placed session ends with a calibrated, evidence-grounded report. Here's exactly what one looks like — across all four tracks. No cherry-picking, no inflation.

grader summary

Strong algorithmic instincts and good edge-case discipline. Communication is the gap — a senior loop expects you to narrate the trade-offs, not just land the answer.

Problem Understanding8/10

✓Clarified input constraints and edge cases upfront.

Problem Solving8/10

✓Moved to an O(n) hash-map approach after a brief brute-force detour.

Code Quality7/10

—Readable, but variable names like `m` and `t` made the hash-map intent unclear.

Communication5/10

—Two silent stretches of 60+ seconds. Didn't narrate the switch from brute force.

Testing8/10

✓Walked through positive, negative, and duplicate-value cases before claiming done.

top 3 improvements

1.Narrate every decision, especially when changing approach.
2.Name variables for the role they play (`seen` and `complement`, not `m` and `t`).
3.State complexity out loud once — bar-raisers want to hear it, not infer it.

closing note

“Solid algorithmic and testing instincts. The gap is communication: a senior loop expects you to think out loud, not just to land the right answer.”
