"This is another Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know.
Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation

"In Ideation phase, the below points should be concentrated on.
Ideation
Market research
Competitor Analysis
in the next phase it should be conceptualisation where we define the problem, find user persona and some of the feature priortization.
Next phase has to be validation where we build the MVP, do user testing, Iterate.
Then comes the prototyping, Development, QA, Marketing and Position.
After which we launch the product. may be a soft launch first and the proceed to full launch"

"This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical improvement. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula:

State the goal of the feature

"This is a Technical question. It tests your ability to understand high level technical concepts. Even though your job won't have any coding involved, you'll still need to understand these concepts. Being able to cover all these topics with clarity communicates confidence in your interviewer.
Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are:
Use analogies when you can

"(Like a Rummy Game)
There are 3 colors of tiles. Each tile has a number 1-9 on it. So the 27-tile set makes a deck. There are 4 decks. (Total = 108 tiles)
Tile Colors = {Red, Black, Green}
The tiles could be grouped together in patterns
Types of patterns :
The three tiles are identical (R2, R2, R2)
The three tiles are of same color and sequential (R2, R3, R4). Sequence cannot be overlapping (R8, R9, R1 is not a pattern)
