Evaluate Qualitative Factors for Ride-Sharing Partnership
Overview
This question evaluates a data scientist's qualitative due diligence, strategic judgment, and cross‑functional leadership skills in assessing a potential bank partnership with a ride‑sharing provider, covering brand fit, customer overlap, implementation complexity, legal/compliance risk, and expected lift.
Partnership Evaluation Scenario
You are assessing whether a retail bank should partner with a ride‑sharing company (e.g., Lyft) for co-marketing, rewards, or product integration. This is an early, pre‑commitment screening focused on qualitative due diligence (not a full financial model).
Question
What qualitative factors should be evaluated before deciding to pursue the partnership? Address brand fit, customer overlap, implementation complexity, legal/compliance risk, and expected lift. Add any other considerations you deem critical.
