Rationale

Dimension	Rationale
Reliability	Published by the British Dyslexia Association (leading UK dyslexia charity). First-person account, not research. BDA editorial oversight provides institutional credibility.
Relevance	Addresses dyslexia-specific interview challenges (recall, organization, stress amplification) relevant to STAR demands, but does not specifically mention STAR format.
Bias flags	Missing data concern: personal testimony only, no sample data or research citations. Low risk on COI — BDA is a well-established charity.
