Data Driven Problem Solving and Recommendations Questions

Use data to define business problems, form and test hypotheses, identify root causes, and produce clear, prioritized, evidence based recommendations. Candidates should be able to translate a business question into measurable metrics, choose appropriate analyses, segment and compare cohorts, validate assumptions, quantify expected impact and implementation effort, and surface limitations or data quality issues. Good answers explain the analysis steps, any assumptions made, how results would be validated, and the communication approach to ensure stakeholders can act on the recommendation.
