AI: 74/100. Concrete account example with portfolio size, cadence of reviews and a quantified growth outcome. Slightly light on senior-stakeholder strategy.

AI: 68/100. Honest account of a client on the verge of leaving; clear ownership and a structured recovery plan. Outcome stated but long-term relationship state left vague.
Overall: Answers are specific and grounded in real situations, with honest treatment of a near-loss. The retention answer would benefit from more detail on the long-term relationship repair.
