Force-fit Netflix into the BIQ picker on the current question bank - #72

This is a force fit, on purpose, so Netflix shows up in the BIQ picker. It does not add question text, example packs, or a schema change. The borrowed questions do not ask the Netflix practices. That gap is the strain.

The principles side is kindel/principles#90 (branch force-fit-netflix, company block 10000). Source of the words: https://www.jobs.netflix.com/culture. The proposed questions for Tig to write are in that pull request, not in this bank.

What changed

scripts/sync_from_principles.py added the netflix company shell: set title "Culture Memo," the first-sentence preamble, twenty principles with empty questions, facets stamped from data/facets.json, and aliases from the principle terms plus the facet label. .kindel/last-sync.txt records principles commit 588aad05a93ac59c137fcb4b9872f132f7832d3a.

The diff adds sixteen keys to facetQuestions in data/questions.json. The sync added thirteen. Later edits added bold-bet, let-them-decide, and ask-who-disagrees. Each key lists existing question ids that already have Junior, Senior, and Exec packs. No new id was minted. The seven Netflix principles on existing facets were left to inherit the donor list. Adding ids on those facets would have required every company on the facet to carry them. Three Netflix facets have no facetQuestions key: for-its-audience, after-a-setback, and cut-the-extra-step.

Where the force fit strains

1. item_for in scripts/sync_from_principles.py was not changed, so howTo says "Pick two or three questions per assigned Culture Memo." kind is lp because the set name does not end in Value or Factor. Both are in data/questions.json. "Culture Memo" is our label. The page heading is "The Best Work of Our Lives."

2. Stored questions on every Netflix principle are empty. That is what the sync does. A new facet resolves only through facetQuestions. The ids above are the nearest existing questions, and they ask a neighboring behavior. The keeper test questions ask about a low performer. They do not ask "would you fight to keep them?" Context not control asks about deciding without a manager. It does not ask about giving context and leaving the call with the team. Artistic expression asks about a novel approach. It does not ask about supporting a slate you find objectionable. Almost no rules asks about doing the work with fewer resources. It does not ask about "Act in Netflix's best interests."

3. Principles on an existing facet inherit that facet's whole donor list. Judgment inherits Are Right, A Lot. Candor inherits Earn Trust, including questions that are not about feedback. Great and Always Better inherits the better-every-day donor. Inclusion inherits GitLab belonging. There is no per-principle filter in this bank.

4. Sync copies the facet label into aliases. "are right a lot" finds Netflix Judgment. "earn trust" finds Candor. "belonging" finds Inclusion. "have backbone, disagree and commit" finds Disagree Then Commit. "better every day" finds Great and Always Better. The alias is how the facet is named, not how Netflix names the principle. See the alias lists in data/questions.json.

5. The preamble in data/questions.json is one sentence. The memo's sentence about four core principles cannot be stored without an em dash sentence in front of it. The picker introduces a twenty-principle set whose preamble does not say four.

6. Practices the memo states and this bank cannot ask, because there is no question text and no pack: the keeper test, context not control as giving context, farming for dissent and whose opinion weighs more, artistic expression and the slate, the five-word expenses policy, the Dream Team standard, the informed captain, extraordinary candor, top of market pay, and improving the culture rather than preserving it. The principles pull request lists the questions to write. They are not in this diff.

Porridge is unchanged. Its picker reads the principles index. Singles stay 404 until a porridge sync.
