Design a Consensus System
Design a Consensus System — A Staff+ playbook focused on when to use consensus, consistency primitive selection, operational cost of Raft/Paxos, and minimizing the consensus domain — not just algorithm explanation.
This playbook is part of the full calibration library.
Staff interviews are decided on nuance — tradeoff framing, ownership boundaries, and failure anticipation. This topic includes evaluator-grade breakdowns and drill sections available with full calibration access.
What's inside this playbook
- •Staff-level tradeoff analysis and failure mode reasoning
- •L5 vs L6 calibration tables for this specific topic
- •Practice drills with Staff-level evaluation criteria
