Hard rule fires: Jason's entire qualified career (2016–2026) was at Altitude Co, a commercial carpentry firm doing apartment towers and hospitals for tier-one commercial builders. The CV cover note itself states 'primarily on commercial building sites' and lists commercial-mentality tasks (fire doors, hardware, skirting, framing). There is no architectural residential exposure visible — not through apprenticeship, not through side work, not through employer mix. Per Ry's Automatic No tier: 'No residential experience at all — purely commercial background.' Per Ed's rubric, this is the textbook 'commercial-only mindset' decline archetype (matches Declined Example 1 almost exactly). Compounding concerns: the separate cover letter text contradicts the CV by claiming 10 years of renovation and architectural new builds — this either reflects a generic cover letter pasted across applications or an attempt to overstate fit, both of which are red flags on care and accountability. He is also currently labouring for a tiling company, suggesting he left or was let go from Altitude Co recently with no explanation given. Decline with high confidence. No call.
