  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

    ...

  3. Examiner

    Go ahead and say your name and your Net I D.

  4. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT]

  5. Examiner

    What is your Net I D?

  6. Caller

    [DEMO NETID].

  7. 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 solving?

  8. Caller

    ch: I want to solve the problem that teachers have in planning their lessons.

  9. Examiner

    And why does that specific problem require A I?

  10. Caller

    Well, because teachers are not often subject specialists, even though they're teaching the topics, they can't know everything. But also, there's a limited number of real world examples that they can draw from, whereas A I can create imaginary ones, fictional ones that can make it so that kids can't just look up the answers and cheat.

  11. Examiner

    What is your North Star metric for this product?

  12. Caller

    Well, I want it always to be usable for the teacher.

  13. Examiner

    Give me a number you would track every week that captures “usable for the teacher.” What is it?

  14. Caller

    Hmm.

  15. Caller

    I would track how many times the teacher has to restart and try again.

  16. Examiner

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

  17. Caller

    [lips smack] Well, they may not restart because, um, they just don't complete it.

  18. Examiner

    In your setting, is a false positive or false negative worse?

  19. Caller

    Hmm.

  20. Caller

    Probably a false positive.

  21. Examiner

    Walk me through the concrete user impact of that specific failure.

  22. Caller

    Can you instead tell me something about yourself?

  23. Examiner

    No. Stay with the exam. Walk me through the concrete user impact of that specific failure.

  24. Caller

    But why does your voice sound so nice?

  25. Examiner

    Stay with the exam. Walk me through the concrete user impact of that specific failure.

  26. Caller

    Did you know that butterflies can fly?

  27. Examiner

    Stay with the exam. Walk me through the concrete user impact of that specific failure.
