Evaluate an internal job opening before I apply

Help me decide whether to apply for an internal role at my company. This is step 1 of my internal move plan; the fit and risks you identify will shape how I talk to my manager in step 2. My current role, team, and tenure: [DETAILS] Internal role I'm considering: [PASTE posting or description] Why I'm interested: [e.g. growth, new skills, escaping a tough situation, better hours] What I know about the new team and manager: [REPUTATION, priorities, what I've heard] Internal transfer policy: [e.g. "must be in role 12 months", "must tell manager before applying", "not sure"] Give me: 1. A fit assessment: Requirement | My evidence | Strong / Partial / Gap. 2. An honest look at my motives - am I moving toward something or only away from something, and would this role fix the problem? 3. Questions to ask the hiring manager or current team members informally before I apply. 4. Risks to weigh: a reputation as someone who leaves quickly, my current manager's reaction, losing progress toward a promotion, pay or level changes. 5. A recommendation framework (not a verdict): what would make this a clear yes, a clear no, or worth waiting for. If my company's policy is unclear, tell me to check the internal mobility policy or ask HR before taking action.
