Red flags are deal-breakers you will actually walk on. In practice: if you never walk, they were not flags. They were a podcast. Qualification without exit is a quiz.

Method

1. Name two you will leave on. Leave.
2. Don't announce the list. Use it.
3. Crime, contempt, a hard no — those are not 'tests.'

Failure mode

Collecting red flags as a hobby while staying.
