Problem

Scenario

You're working on a product where a proposed growth change is helping one important metric, but users are starting to feel more friction or dissatisfaction in the experience. The team is split between pushing the initiative because the headline number looks better and pulling it back because the product feels worse.

Question

What would you do if a growth initiative improved one metric but made the overall user experience worse?

What This Tests

  • Ability to balance KPIs against user needs
  • Judgment on product trade-offs
  • Use of explicit success criteria and guardrails
  • Decision-making under ambiguous evidence
