How long should you run InterviewMan before your first legal panel?

Preface. I'm a newly licensed lawyer working as a junior associate at a mid sized litigation firm. I got an interview at an in house counsel role through a referral, fellow candidates from my school shared what their final rounds of interviews looked like, the format is (so far) manageable, and i'm getting decent signal on the scenario types. However, i am considering whether to commit the InterviewMan annual before the final round. I did a dry run with a coworker to confirm nothing showed on the screen share, the prompt latency was a beat on my Mac and the framing on a fake regulatory question landed clean, and i don't want to get pigeon holed into running the panel cold this early into my pivot. I've been reading threads on r/InterviewHacking with decent stories of lawyers who used the tool. My question is if i commit now, at what point in my prep is it okay to lean fully on the prompt during the video call? Theoretically i'd like to get through a few real rounds first, but if i was able to find a stable rhythm sooner would it be looked down upon if i ran it during the final interview after only six or eight real interview experiences? I don't want to rehearse my answers with my coworker and then feel like i wasted both our time, and i also don't want to walk in over reliant on the prompt. Any advice is appreciated!
