Prompt
An executive asks your team to "figure out why growth is weak" before the next business review. The scope is broad and the data is messy. What do you do?
Answer shape
- Clarify the decision, timeframe, owner, and acceptable tradeoffs.
- Split the work into funnel, retention, monetization, and mix before diving deep.
- Name the first useful artifact: metric tree, cohort read, segment table, or decision memo.
- Set a checkpoint that turns ambiguity into a call.
Practice ambiguity without rambling.
