Demonstrate leadership in data ambiguity

Describe a time you inherited an underperforming metric or model, disagreed with the team’s preferred fix, yet had to recommend a decision under a tight deadline.

• Summarize the situation, the specific disagreement, and quantified risks of each path.
• Explain how you influenced PM/Eng/Marketing stakeholders using data, experiments, and clear trade‑offs.
• Detail the safeguards you implemented (fail‑fast triggers, kill‑switches, guardrails) and how you managed accountability.
• Share the outcome with concrete metrics and a retrospective on what you’d change next time.
