Compare Two Candidates' CVs Against the Same Job Spec

Both CVs look strong in isolation, and the panel meeting is in an hour with no shared way to compare them. This scores each candidate against the actual must-haves in the spec, flags what is worth probing in interview, and gives you a lean with the reasoning stated plainly, so the discussion starts from evidence rather than gut feel.

Job spec: {JOB_SPEC}
Candidate A: {CANDIDATE_A_CV}
Candidate B: {CANDIDATE_B_CV}
</paste>

<task>
**Compare the two candidates:**
1. Score each candidate against the must-have requirements in the spec, not the nice-to-haves
2. Identify what each candidate would bring that is not on the spec at all, and whether it matters
3. Flag any gaps or inconsistencies worth probing in interview for each candidate
4. Give a lean, not a verdict, with the reasoning stated plainly

<output_format>
- A requirements comparison scoring each candidate against must-haves
- A short note on what each brings beyond the spec
- Interview questions to probe gaps, two or three per candidate
- A lean with reasoning, not a final decision
