I have some idea who I’m connecting/interacting with and how they communicate. I have some knowledge of the problem space, how we got here, and why we are solving this. It is unlikely this is the first time hearing of this issue. I know the team and/or technologies which will likely support the solution. I know the broader org goals and direction that might affect choices. I have safety to ideate, iterate, and draft solutions.

This is basically “hire me and you’ll see”. Well, the perspective of an employer is that 80% of candidates say so and only 20% of them are worth anywhere near their desired comp. I understand the sentiment, but learn to show yourself before the marriage even if that’s no use afterwards.

It's not a marriage. Both the employer and the employee can terminate employment at the drop of a hat.
