What's inside

Built to find the traits you can't train.

WEIGHTED

8 competencies, weighted by what converts

Empathy, communication, and warmth carry 3× weight. LASIK knowledge is trainable — personality isn't.

HARD STOPS

Non-negotiables flagged on the sheet

A 1 or 2 on any non-negotiable ends the conversation — regardless of the total. No rationalizing past it.

FILLABLE

Auto-calculating PDF

Type a 1–5 and the points and total calculate themselves. Evidence fields keep every score honest.

DECIDE

Interview prompts & decision bands

Page two gives you behavioral questions for every trait — plus clear hire / second-interview / pass thresholds.

“Hire for personality. Train for everything else.

Your coordinator is the highest-leverage seat in the refractive funnel. Every consultation they touch either becomes surgery — or doesn't. This scorecard keeps the interview focused on the traits that actually move that number.
