  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], [DEMO NETID]. Good morning, Austria. And to you, dear viewers, welcome to Express and also to the North. At a Ukrainian summit in Paris, the so-called coalition of the willy-willy, [DEMO STUDENT], [DEMO NETID]. 35 states take part

  3. Examiner

    Thanks. I heard [DEMO STUDENT], and I heard your Net ID as [DEMO NETID], which matches what I have. Great, hello...

  4. Caller

    Thank you.

  5. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are s...

  6. Caller

    I will now ask President Macron to inform you about the results.

  7. Examiner

    State your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  8. Caller

    When Maduro was sharply criticized, the USA was challenged to let him free. The Venezuelan police are driving the country to Nuremberg. I want to integrate the data into a new database.

  9. Examiner

    Hold on. What is the user job to be done for your Team B product, in one sentence?

  10. Caller

    To make the data great as a data product.

  11. Examiner

    Who is the user, specifically?

  12. Caller

    It is the controlling.

  13. Examiner

    What is the one concrete task the controlling user struggles with today that your product fixes?

  14. Caller

    Oh, it's the bad data quality. If it is not good, the project will fail.

  15. Examiner

    And why does that specific problem require A I?

  16. Caller

    AI improves the data quality because it can automatically detect errors and correct most of them.

  17. Examiner

    What is your North Star metric for this product?

  18. Caller

    It's a process improvement. Make it more efficient.

  19. Examiner

    Name the metric you would actually measure.

  20. Caller

    Time to completion.

  21. Examiner

    Good. Now, what is the counter metric that might tank if you over optimize that?
