case study

The verbatim ElevenLabs case-study prompt. It looks like a UI question; it's a workflow-modeling question, and the candidates who pass start by asking what a 'unit of work' is in dubbing. The entity model, the review-state machine, and the v1 cut.

C3.ai's reported 3-hour data science case, the round their candidates rate hardest. The winners aren't the best modelers; they're the ones who budget the clock, ship a baseline in hour one, and present like a consultant.

The round is conversational discovery plus live Excalidraw diagramming, and it's graded on sequence: candidates who draw before asking fail. The discovery battery, the voice-pipeline boxes worth drawing, and the latency budget that anchors the whole design.
