I feel this interviewing process mostly mirrors a typical interview day for most startups (or did some years ago).

I’m glad you took the time to iterate and document the work involved to accomplish a welcoming and safe space — did this evolve into company guidelines? Do get domain experts to help with the interview. I also wouldn’t ditch the white board so easily, let know the candidate before hand, and make it collaborative, even initially drive. Brainstorming ideas can be an engaging activity, discussing architectures can introduce a small part of the systems the candidate will interact with.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
