[edit]. Initial thoughts:
- "data wrangling" scoring difficult given this task - more weight to "rationale", that's more important the "performance", here.
- not enough focus on communication capabilities
- really need something on validation
- "proficiency" measure you use is pretty much impossible to accurately evaluate from your example question
- way too much weight to modeling section overall
Of course more abstractly you want to validate the entire process - but I was referring to those two, as it is hard to see how to address the latter in a format like this.
