    "I have worked with ML when I was a PM for Customer Due Diligence and it required recalibration to improve the matching logic (for screening and Proof of business matching with Google) and threshold analysis. In this scenario we had to extract past True positive, False positive decisions from operations and run threshold analysis to come up with a new threshold to match better and remove the noise i.e. False positives. Taking this new threshold for matching, the ML algorithm is receiving feedback"

This new, reasoning skills introduce a small delay in its response and explains what it does during the delay but I do not really think that it is "thinking" any differently than before, except that it is constrained by some purported rules when asked to summarise certain b"

    "Here's some thought on what I'll be doing in this situation: Identify the root cause (I'll try to assess WHY the engineers don't action these tickets). In order to identify the potential reasons, I'd have 1:1s with team members, observe participation and engagement in backlog grooming sessions and check in with leads and my peers. Lack of clarity on requirements or acceptance criteria. Skill gaps. Dependency on other teams or missing prerequisites. Team capaci"

    "If I could only talk to one customer of my product, I will pick that customer who was earlier a loyal user of my product but now engaging less or have left the product recently. As a PM, two most important metrics that show that your product is worthy for your users are retention & monetisation. If I am seeing a Loyal user not engaging any more with my platform, it shows that either that user has found 10X better substitute to satisfy the same need or that user is not liking my platform any mor"
