Execution I — Metrics & Diagnostics

CaseMedium~30 minDesigned by experts

About this interview

A case interview on Execution & Metrics, pitched at the medium level. A voice AI interviewer leads the conversation, adapts its questions to your answers, keeps you on topic, and afterward gives you honest, specific feedback on where you were strong and where to improve. Expect roughly 30 minutes.

What you'll be assessed on

Build a metric tree with one North Star, 2-4 driver metrics, and at least one guardrail metric on request
Diagnose a metric drop using the four-step MECE order: data integrity → internal product changes → segment concentration → external factors
Read a revealed platform/segment breakdown, verify the weighted arithmetic reconciles to the headline number, and identify where the decline concentrates
State a falsifiable root-cause conclusion with a named piece of evidence that would overturn it, rather than stopping at 'need more data'
Convert a confirmed root cause into a concrete next-24-hours action distinct from the next-quarter action

What to expect

A grocery-delivery app's checkout completion rate dropped noticeably in a single quarter, and it's your job to figure out why before recommending any fix.

This case walks you through a real diagnostic sequence: ruling out a tracking artifact first, reading a disclosed data table to see where a decline actually concentrates, and turning a confirmed root cause into an immediate fix and a longer-term process change.

You'll also be asked to build a metric tree from scratch -- a North Star, its drivers, and the guardrail that keeps a fix from quietly making something else worse.
