Interview Prompt

Press sheets keep going out half-full because new orders reach the ganging step too late, and the operations team hears about missed delivery promises from customers. We make 30 million unique print products a year across 10 acquired brands, ganging many customer orders onto each press sheet. Design the pipeline.

Summary

One press run, many orders. Group them right.

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
