Which of the following answer variants best demonstrates strong Dive Deep competency with clear ownership, scope boundary, and quantification? A) "I was reviewing system metrics and noticed a latency increase. I escalated to the platform team. They fixed the issue and latency improved." B) "We noticed a drop in API success rates and investigated as a team. We found a bug and deployed a fix. Customer complaints decreased." C) "I found an issue outside my team and decided to fix it myself. I traced the root cause and deployed a patch. The problem resolved after the fix." D) "During routine review, I spotted a 0.3% webhook failure rate outside my team with no open tickets. I traced a race condition, wrote a fix, and coordinated rollout with Platform. The failure rate dropped to zero, protecting $8K/week in revenue."

  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -- only D explicitly states outside own team with no ticket.
  2. Step 2: Identify ownership -- D uses 'I' throughout, others use 'we' or escalate.

  4. Step 4: Confirm specificity -- D details race condition and coordination steps.
