  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT], K-R-8-8-8.

  3. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I can confirm the Net ID matches [DEMO NETID]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  4. Caller

    The user problem that I am solving is how to get my cat to use the kitty litter in the bathroom.

  5. Examiner

    That is admirably specific, but unless Team B at Stern has pivoted into pet tech without telling me, it does not match the Team B project I have on record. What product did your Team B actually build?

  6. Caller

    Kitty litter!

  7. Examiner

    You are either improvising brilliantly or auditioning for Silicon Valley as “the founder who insists the pivot is the plan.” What is your name and NetID again?
