How good is this person, compared with their peers?
The CV
Silent. A CV has no scale, so there is nothing to compare.
The Passport
Assessment bands by dimension, with a percentile against the role cohort.
The death of the CV
The first résumé is generally credited to Leonardo da Vinci, who wrote to the Duke of Milan listing what he could build. Five centuries later, a chief executive being considered for a $2 billion group is still evaluated on the same instrument: a document they wrote about themselves, which no one has checked, and which cannot be compared with anyone else's.
It is not that the CV is old. It is that the CV answers the wrong question. It tells a board what you have done. A board is trying to decide what you can be trusted to lead.
Exhibit A
This is a strong CV — better than most that reach a search committee. Select any marked claim.

The six questions
Silent. A CV has no scale, so there is nothing to compare.
Assessment bands by dimension, with a percentile against the role cohort.
A verb. “Led a large international business.”
Largest P&L owned in USD, headcount, countries, ownership contexts, regulatory intensity.
A noun. “Turnaround specialist.”
Situations led, each with ownership, scale, year and a quantified outcome.
None, at the point it matters.
Every claim carries a verification level, a date and a verifier.
“Open to international opportunities.”
Work authorisation per market, and a corridor state with the condition named.
The document has already been forwarded three times.
Blind by default. Identity moves only on consent, scoped, expiring and audited.
The replacement
This is a real projection from the live disclosure service — the blind layer, exactly as a verified board receives it. The redactions are not styling. Those fields were never sent to this page.
EP-7F2A-91CD-4KQBands only. Raw responses, weights and development feedback never leave the assessment service.
One is written by the candidate and believed by default. The other is assembled from verified evidence, scored against peers, controlled by its holder, and released only to a named board for a named mandate — with an audit trail of who saw what, and when.
