There is a thing called gross vs net performance.
Gross performance is your performance on that particular day, with the particular temperature, engine performance, pilot skills, etc.. that can all vary
Net performance is considered to be the worst possible performance among a million flights.
It is a requirement that net performance meets the standard (not gross performance)
So basically you have a one in a million chance that your gross performance will not reach the standard (standard = 35ft at the departure end of runway)

How you would be supposed to notice you're not meeting this net performance requirement, I unfortunately don't know.
