“This one takes a bit to wrap your head around.”
“I went straight to features and had to course-correct myself mid-answer.”
“My first instinct was to jump straight into features, audio cues, braille buttons, haptic feedback, and I kind of just listed things without grounding it in actual user needs first.”
“This one tripped me up more than I expected.”
“I went straight to market sizing and segmentation, which in hindsight was probably the wrong first move.”
“I spent the first minute trying to figure out who the actual user was.”
“I kind of rambled at first because I tried to cover everything at once.”
“This one hit harder than I expected.”
“I went straight to distribution and streaming, which in hindsight felt a bit too obvious.”
“This one is basically three questions duct-taped together and they expect you to hold all of it at once.”
