      "each interview scheduled for ${CANDIDATE} against ${REQUISITION} is correctly recorded against interviewer and candidate availability",
      "interview panel assignments and interviewer invitation responses for ${INTERVIEW_PANEL} are correctly tracked",
      "feedback and ${SCORECARD} results submitted by each interviewer are correctly captured and aggregated for the ${INTERVIEW_ROUND}",
      "outcome decisions — advance, reject or recommend for offer — are correctly recorded and routed to the next stage",
      "deliberately invalid entries — missing interviewers, scheduling conflicts, late feedback, duplicate interviews — are correctly rejected or flagged rather than silently accepted",

    "scope_note": "A negative or security Interview scenario passes when Oracle correctly enforces the expected data, eligibility or security rule; this test does not attempt to certify a specific Oracle application defect. Where an entry or validation appears unexpected or its cause is unclear, it is treated as requiring further investigation and supporting evidence rather than a confirmed conclusion. This page catalogs 22 individual Interview scenarios as a single comprehensive reference rather than as separate indexable pages, and uses only masked or synthetic candidate and interviewer data throughout."
