Interview Prompt

Models trained on any single hospital's patients keep failing to generalize, so the clinical research team wants one model and one set of population statistics drawn from 40 hospitals in 8 countries. Design the pipeline that trains the models and computes the statistics across every site.

Summary

Patient data stays local. Insights have to be global.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
