"Thanks for the question.
I would like to start off by asking some clarifying questions:
When we say a holiday season, are we referring to the 15 registered holidays in a year? or the holiday season on Mid November until January 15 for thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year?
When we say a medium-sized company, are we referring to a US company or an international company?
When we say how much productivity is lost, is it in terms of revenue, production, hours, engagement?

Use analogies when you can
Break your solution into clear, bite-size steps

Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation
**Breakdown components of your equat"

"How would you place Amazon Alex hardware in a car, if car software integration was not an option?
Let me understand the context and the situation
Is Amazon really trying to experiment if they could be a new device category in the cars (or)
Is it that they did not get the right partnerships that led to this decision (assuming this is the case)
What could be the objectives why Amazon will get interested in this?
Apple and Google are getting entrenched in this space and Amazon has almost n"
