    "Clarifying and Assumptions When we say New York City, does this mean just Downtown New York or also the suburbs? Assumption: It means Downtown New York only. Is the bike-sharing service like Uber, where people share their own bikes, or is it a service run by a company with bike stands on street corners? Assumption: It’s run by a private company with bike stands on street corners. Will the bike-sharing service start as free, or will we charge people from the beginning?"

    "The VR/AR industry is poised to explode and a wearable tech has steadily entered the mainstream. As a CEO of a healthtech startup, I would build a product that serves both industries - the 'middleware' between the plethora of smart watches / fitness trackers and the increasing number of VR/AR workout applications. This product would make it easy for apps to record key health metrics for their users without integrating with the countless wearable tech brands on the market."

This sometimes led to inefficiencies, as I would have to backtrack or redo work because the insights weren't completely aligned with stakeholder needs. I"

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"
