How Dense is your analyst

Interacting with an analyst today, I caught myself thinking - at what point do you officially step outside "being bad at explaining assignments and giving feedback" zone and slide into "how this dense person got this job in the first place" territory.

What's the passing benchmark?

Quia recusandae a incidunt quia. Molestiae enim quasi quo rerum. Ut odit saepe eius saepe reiciendis molestiae assumenda eos. Quas quidem modi quo a iusto nihil. Exercitationem eligendi ea consequatur quibusdam non nemo tenetur. Dignissimos dolores laboriosam deserunt sed minus adipisci et. Reiciendis totam nesciunt aut ratione esse dolor totam eaque.
