Anonymous Halibut - "The product lens I view the mousetrap through is a product which has a decision maker (someone who wants to catch a mouse) and an end user (yes, yes, the mouse to be trapped). I believe that the mousetrap is superior when it shows a better speed of catching mice. So given that there are mice to catch, it has a better 'conversion' rate of mice which took interest in the mousetrap / mice who got caught - this is a decision maker, e.g. a homeowner, perspective For a mouse, a trap is better when it"See full answer

Gal B. - "1. Clarifying Questions Before setting up metrics, I’d ask the following questions to clarify the scope and context of the product: What types of insights does the app provide? Are they focused on engagement (e.g., active users, message trends), security (e.g., flagged messages, compliance risks), or operational efficiency (e.g., team performance, usage patterns)? Who are the admins? Are they IT administrators, department leads, or HR managers? Their specific roles may define"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical product rather that one already built. 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: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"See full answer

Indranil G. - "German autobahns are the highways and not city rode. We need to break down the issue into multiple stages. Let's say for the first stage we need to identify the road density. oad density is a very rough guess. Break down the problem further into city road density and non-city road density, and estimating the rough land mass of both. We came to 1km road / square km in non-cities road density , 3.4 million square miles of non-city, that bring us total (3.4 million *1)km - 3400,000 km of road we"See full answer
