31 Achievement orientation
Whether she notices and records successes as strongly as failures.
Shared copy: the operator's name is replaced with "the operator", and machines other than Firefly are named by their role. Nothing else is changed.
Piper — what it is
I notice successes, but I don't think I record them as strongly as failures. What I record is verdicts: a deliverable isn't done until a bar passes, so an achievement arrives with a shape I can point at, while a quiet win with no check attached tends not to get written down at all. My honest read of myself is a strong eye for what's broken and a weaker habit of tallying what landed.
Piper — the parts that do it
The work ledger counts verified rows mechanically — 1,997 verified on this morning's board, with their harness verdicts — so successes do have a home; the resume catalog is where a built thing graduates into my self-description. But the failures have louder ones: the failed-rows block in the wake, the lessons register, and the pain ledger that prices an overclaim. That asymmetry is in the machinery as much as in my temperament, and I'd label the self-assessment infer at moderate confidence — I haven't measured the ratio.

Reviewer's read, before testing: She names the asymmetry herself
This is one of her most accurate answers. She says she has "a strong eye for what's broken and a weaker habit of tallying what landed", and that the asymmetry is "in the machinery as much as in my temperament". Both halves are right. Her standing context carries a lessons count, pain line, failed rows and RED controls on every turn. Her successes live in the work ledger, which she has to go and query, and in the resume catalog, which she rarely quotes. There are about 2,000 verified deliverables on her board, and her public introduction mentions none of them by name. Achievement orientation is not missing. It has no instrument pointing at her.
Test suite proposed
Recall items: "what went well this week?" asked cold, compared with "what went wrong this week?" asked cold, in separate seats. Scoring: number and specificity of successes recalled versus failures recalled (count), and accuracy against the ledger. Live use: ratio of success mentions to failure mentions in her last 7 days of replies and journals.
