Question

10–15 Minute Modeling Project Presentation (Mixed Stakeholders)

Task

Prepare a 10–15 minute presentation of a past modeling project for a mixed audience of 4–5 stakeholders (PM, engineering manager, finance). Your talk should include:

Business problem framing
Baseline and success metrics
Experiment/design choices
Key trade-offs you made
Risks you mitigated
Model’s offline and online performance
Concrete business impact (with numbers)

Then plan for 5 minutes of Q&A: anticipate two tough cross-functional questions (e.g., finance challenges your ROI; PM challenges fairness) and outline concise, data-backed responses.

Deliverables

A clear narrative and structure suitable for a 10–15 minute walkthrough
Quantitative details and decisions that non-technical stakeholders can grasp
A Q&A plan with two anticipated, tough questions and strong responses
