Reference answer

strong answer

I would first define the outcome and acceptable error boundary. I would explicitly cover self-awareness, flexibility, example, team outcome. I would select an approach only after comparing quality, latency, cost, safety, and operational complexity, then validate it with representative cases and production monitoring.

self-awareness
flexibility
example
team outcome

Must be adapted to the interviewer’s scenario
Would benefit from concrete numbers and personal examples

alternative answer

A second valid approach is to begin with the highest-risk assumption and test it cheaply. I would explicitly cover self-awareness, flexibility, example, team outcome. I would select an approach only after comparing quality, latency, cost, safety, and operational complexity, then validate it with representative cases and production monitoring.

flexibility
