A decision that “passes the sunlight test” is one that is logical, rational, and fair. How do you “Hold decisions to the sunlight test”? You imagine yourself explaining your idea or decision in front of everyone at The MathWorks, and you ask yourself if they would understand your rationale. Commonly, you will hear people say, “Will that pass the sunlight test?”
