We keep picking founders who interview well and execute poorly

Purpose
Get a pre-interview screen that predicts founder follow-through before spending limited interview hours.

Running founder selection for the next cohort and I don’t want to repeat the last one. We tried a full rubric—traction, coachability, founder-market fit—and still ended up with two teams who killed the interview and did nothing for eight weeks. I can’t spend more hours on this. What’s the first cut you’d use before a call to filter for follow-through? Not the full rubric, just the one signal you trust.
