Growth Constraints and Diagnosis Questions

Covers methods and frameworks for diagnosing why product or business growth is slowing or stalling and for identifying the highest impact constraints to address. Candidates should be able to distinguish demand side issues from product side issues and monetization or retention problems, use funnel based thinking to map conversion and drop off points, analyze acquisition channels for cost and quality, evaluate activation and engagement metrics, and quantify retention and churn drivers. Emphasis is on root cause analysis techniques such as cohort analysis, funnel decomposition, experiments and instrumentation, hypothesis driven problem solving, and prioritization of constraints by impact and effort to guide strategy. For senior and staff levels include deeper diagnostics that connect metrics to underlying causes such as go to market execution, product experience, onboarding flows, pricing models, and market size or awareness limitations.
