22 questions

Choose a group based on the evidence you need. Groups follow existing question formats, not difficulty or mandatory prerequisites. Each batch has up to eight questions.

Judgment and options10

Compare goals, constraints, options, and trade-offs.

Questions 1–8

You realize your status report omitted a risk that could change the decision, and executives have already relied on it. How would you correct it?
A leader asks you to show only favorable segments and describe an insignificant result as a trend. How would you respond and preserve factual accuracy?
The final pre-launch test has intermittent failures, and a lead wants to hide the results to avoid delaying approval. What would you do?
An operations review shows shorter average handling time but longer waits for a small high-risk group. A partner wants to report only the average. How would you respond?
A partner plans to describe an unverified analysis in public materials as a “customer-validated result” and asks you to confirm the technical wording. How would you respond?
A quarterly target was missed. A leader proposes excluding refunds and cancellations from the main conversion rate, calling it more representative of core customers. How would you assess and communicate the change?
At a quarterly review, you predicted a change would lift conversion. A later segmented experiment shows no overall lift and harm to one segment. How would you correct the conclusion?
You find a colleague omitted one class of refunds from business results already sent to leadership. They suggest quietly replacing the file. How would you ensure the conclusion and decision record are corrected?

Questions 9–10

You find a delay risk in a project you own, and your manager has been pleased with progress so far. When and how would you raise it?
An experiment report shows target conversion, but a review finds that the query includes only users who completed the flow. A leader is about to request scale-up. How would you respond?

Experience and reflection12

Use past facts to examine contribution, results, and learning.

Questions 1–8

You discover that last week’s configuration change made part of a report inaccurate. Worried about appearing unreliable, you tried to correct it alone first; the impact is still unknown. What would you do now?
A deduplication change makes conversion look higher, but historical data has not been recalculated. How would you present the result?
In promotion calibration, you cite evidence supporting a teammate but later realize a relevant project issue was omitted. How would you correct it?
Tell me about a time you proactively corrected something you had said or a metric definition you had used. How did you find it, and how did you tell the people affected?
A launch event you supported described a metric increase after release as an improvement “caused by the feature,” but the team had no control group and had not ruled out a concurrent campaign. How would you decide whether to correct the claim and work with marketing and business owners?
An access setting may have exposed some customers’ data to others, but scope is unconfirmed. Your manager worries early notice will cause alarm. How would you handle escalation and customer communication?
Your history includes a gap, a layoff, or a part that does not look good. How do you explain it truthfully, without avoiding it and without over-explaining?
Your quarterly report says a target was met. You later discover that the data pipeline changed the definition of “active customer” midway through the period; recalculating with the old definition puts the result below target. How would you correct the report, inform decision-makers, and repair the process?

Questions 9–12

A quarterly update describes correlation as causal growth. The owner wants to publish on time and validate later. How would you respond?
The team defines “resolved” as replying to a customer even if the issue remains, making service metrics look good. How would you correct this?
In a joint report, a customer asks to remove data showing their process caused failures or they will not approve publication. How would you handle accuracy, relationship, and contract?
A business owner wants a fixed customer date while technical estimates still depend on unverified work. How would you communicate a credible range and enable a decision?
