Whiteboard-ready DFT reasoning: scan architecture, coverage debates, silicon mismatch triage, and senior Q&A.
Start with the topic hub for architecture and ownership context.
Use mechanism and reports pages to map assumptions to metrics.
Use debug and worked examples for real closure patterns.
Finish with checklist and silicon impact before release decisions.

Candidate improved from tool-only answers to mechanism-first narratives by using metric->artifact->decision template.
Always state assumptions
Name cross-team owners
Discuss risk and fallback plan
Ask: what evidence proves this DFT decision is safe for production?
