But what is a "larger scale" effort, if not a large number of
"smaller scale" efforts effectively interlinked together?

I would agree that a good result at the coffee procedure test
would not ensure a good result at a more complex effort,
but it seems to me that a really awful result at the small
procedure might be an indication of potential problems for
the larger one. If it is a meaningful indication of anything at
all.

The problem I see with this approach is that, while it may find the best person at writing procedure to make coffee, if the objective is to find someone who is good at writing procedure for complex computer systems, it will probably screen out the best candidates, as it focuses on secondary skills.

People who excel at larger scale TWing efforts are not the best at smaller scale TWing efforts.
