Subject and technical command
Check fluency with the tools they will coach on: ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Claude, retrieval setups, prompt patterns, evaluation of outputs, and where hallucination risk bites specific workflows.
Evidence to listen for
- Knows the material or discipline well beyond the level they teach
- Holds the qualifications, licences, or certifications required, and they are current
- Can answer an unexpected question honestly rather than bluffing

Five-point scoring guide
Knowledge barely ahead of the learners; bluffs when asked something unexpected.
Adequate on the syllabus only; gaps show under questioning.
Solid command of the material for the level taught.
Depth well beyond the taught level; comfortable being asked anything.
Names models and features precisely, explains failure modes such as context loss or hallucination, and maps each tool to concrete team tasks.
