Step 1: name the round you could lose
- SQL or OA: you can write queries, but you miss grain, joins, nulls, time windows, or edge cases under time pressure.
- Product case: you can brainstorm metrics, but you do not land on a decision, segment, risk, and recommendation.
- Metric debugging: you jump from a moved metric to a cause before checking definition, instrumentation, mix, and seasonality.
- Leadership story: your examples are true, but they sound task-level instead of showing ownership, judgment, and stakeholder influence.
Step 2: run one timed rep
- Set a 12-minute timer and answer out loud.
- Spend 3 minutes rewriting only the opener and recommendation.
- Run a 5-minute follow-up where you name what would change your mind.
- Use your own sanitized project or interview target for the second pass.
Choose the next rep.
Start with the failure mode in front of you. Do one rep before collecting more questions.

When the packet is worth it
Buy the Product Analytics packet when your risk is cases, metrics, experiments, SQL follow-ups, or recommendation structure. Buy the Leadership packet when your risk is conflict, failure, stakeholder influence, ambiguity, or final-round story pressure.
If you already received access through a coaching or mock-interview session, use that access instead of buying the same packet again.
