It would be to create a high level outline of the model, which isn't too bad. The issue is mostly with coming up with what questions I would have for "the client" and spelling out what my strategy/framework for building the model would be. I've thought about it and I don't have any questions, and what is there to narrate about my modeling strategy...?

This is for a dev consulting role.

 

Thanks for the feedback! The thing with this task is that it's a case study where the setup is that a "client" asks you to build model. You don't have to actually build it yet. Instead - you have a first round of exploratory questions for said client that you need to know in order to fully understand their request in order to eventually build the model. So all I need to deliver for this case study is a set of questions to the client and a rough sketch/narrative of the framework I'd use to (eventually) build the model. The difficult part is with how... vague the prompt is. I don't know what questions to ask (I don't have any?), and the "sketch" of the dev model that I would give is what's probably a pretty standard dev model.

This is final round, thankfully lol.

Pretty asinine if I actually had to build it lol.
