Your question is Investigating a Regional Signup Drop. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

Prime sign-ups dropped in one region - what is your plan to investigate?

Asked in the Loop: Case / Business Thinking stage. Given "for example" for the case round.

  1. Define the sign-up metric and the comparison period clearly.
  2. Explain how you would validate that the decline is real rather than a reporting or tracking issue.
  3. Decompose the movement across the acquisition funnel, customer segments, channels, devices, and time periods.
  4. State the analyses, hypotheses, and data you would prioritize first.
  5. Recommend actions and guardrail metrics based on possible findings.

Use a practical, structured investigation plan and distinguish diagnostic evidence from assumptions.
