Pass on Patrick Culp for now (no black mark), re-engage in 3-6 months

Situation

In the Round Table hiring debrief for candidates Ben Howard and Patrick Culp, Peter decided to pass on Patrick Culp for now - explicitly not a hard rejection - with intent to re-engage him in three to six months. Stated reason: he wants breadth of past experience coming into Nathan org right now. Peter committed to co-drafting the decline and re-engage message with Bree Clasen.

Reasoning

Confirmed by Peter. This applies his standing diversification direction (broaden beyond Amazon backgrounds) to a specific candidate: Culp did not add the breadth Peter wants right now, so he is a not-yet rather than a no. The no-black-mark, come-back-in-3-6-months framing keeps the candidate warm for a future req, consistent with treating talent as a pipeline rather than a one-shot yes or no.

Additional Context

Hiring-panel debrief; Nathan is hiring manager but Peter made the pass-for-now call in his own voice and took ownership of the candidate message.

Observed Evidence

Peter: I would pass on him for now. But it is not a pass on him with a black mark... come back to him in three to six months. / Bree, you and I can work on that message.
