Product Sense I — Design

CaseMedium~30 minDesigned by experts

About this interview

A case interview on Product Sense, 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

Run the Clarify→Strategy→Users→Pain points→Solutions→MVP sequence without naming the framework out loud
Ground a design in one specific, non-generic user segment (e.g. 'dual-remote-working households with a child aged 5-10 and no nearby family support') rather than a broad demographic
Generate three meaningfully distinct solutions including one moonshot, then defensibly cut two down to a single MVP
Justify the MVP cut on which assumption it validates cheapest, not on which idea is biggest
Hold ground on a stated MVP cut when probed ('what would make this fail?') without collapsing into feature-list sprawl

What to expect

You'll be asked to design a brand-new consumer product from a blank page -- no existing app, no data, no prior version to critique.

This case tests the instincts real product-sense interviews are built around: narrowing to a specific user rather than 'everyone,' naming pain points that are genuinely different from each other, and actually cutting your own ideas down to one buildable first version.

Good practice for any 'design a product for X' prompt you'll hit in a real loop.
