Whenever you're ready, walk me through how you'd approach this.

Problem

Tell me about how you approach a situational question when there is no right or wrong answer. Explain how you identify the relevant factors, state your assumptions, weigh tradeoffs, and communicate a practical decision. I am looking for a structured approach that demonstrates judgment, adaptability, and ownership rather than an attempt to guess what the interviewer wants.
