Is it fair to put me in a position where I make the sole decision on who we employ based on me knowing about 1/5 of the information so that I can inevitably be pointed at if they don't achieve the seemingly impossible 4/4

Well you already know my feelings about this sort of environment 😁.
Can I offer a friendly reminder - make sure to write everything down as you go through this, to cover yourself with HR & management in 6 months' time...
Yeah, that's not fair on you at all. Sounds like at least some people are aware the Big Thing is poorly defined and are looking to shift blame if/when it falls apart.

At best you’re looking for a good problem solver with some technical skills.
The problem, as ever, is the culture around blame.
That kind of experiment only works when the culture allows for it. Empathy anyone?
