Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Pivot Research Strategy After Contradictory Data. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You're leading a research effort and the first round of data comes back pointing in the opposite direction of your initial hypothesis. You now need to decide whether to change the research plan, how to communicate that shift, and how to keep the work credible and useful for decision-makers.
Explain a time you had to pivot your research strategy because the initial data contradicted your hypothesis.
