Suggested Approach

Start by framing theScore as a sports media and betting app, then identify three core features that span content consumption, personalization, and monetization. For each, briefly explain its purpose and how it delivers value to users and the business.

Pro tip: Tie each feature to a key product metric (e.g., engagement, retention, conversion) to show you think like a PM, not just a user.

1. Clarify the app's value proposition

Begin by stating theScore's dual focus: real-time sports scores/news and integrated sports betting. This sets context for your feature choices.

2. Select three diverse features

Choose features that cover different user needs: live scores, personalized alerts, and betting integration. Avoid picking three similar features.

3. Describe each feature's core function

For each, explain what it does and how users interact with it. Keep descriptions concise and focused on user value.

4. Connect to product metrics

Link each feature to a metric it influences, such as daily active users, session length, or bet slip conversion. This shows business acumen.

5. Summarize strategic importance

Conclude by noting how these features together create a sticky ecosystem that drives engagement and monetization.

Key Points to Mention

  • Live scoreboards and real-time game updates
  • Personalized push notifications and team/player following
  • Integrated sports betting (odds, bet slip, and cash-out)
  • News feed and editorial content
  • Video highlights and analysis
  • User engagement metrics like DAU, session time, and conversion rates
