What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Prioritization Framework | Do you use a clear, articulable framework, or do you describe outcomes without explaining the logic that produced them? | Explicit criteria, trade-off reasoning, customer-back logic |
| Data-Driven Decisions | PM answers without data are weak. We flag decisions described as intuition-based with no quantitative grounding. | Metric reference, data source, hypothesis testing |
| Trade-off Clarity | Did you articulate what you gave up? A good PM answer names the alternative paths and explains why the chosen path was preferable. | Explicit trade-off naming, alternative consideration |
| Personal Contribution | What did you specifically decide or build, not the team? We flag 'we shipped' language and surface where you need to claim your specific role. | 'I decided', 'I recommended', 'I defined' |
How a session works
Step 1: Get your Block Product Management question
You are assigned questions based on where candidates for this role typically struggle most. Each session starts fresh with a new question targeting a different evaluation dimension.
Step 2: Answer by voice
Speak your answer as you would in a real interview. The AI listens for STAR structure and evaluation dimension signals in real time as you speak.
Step 3: Get scored dimension by dimension
Instant scores across all four rubric dimensions. Each gets a score, a flagged weakness, and a specific sentence-level fix, not 'be more specific' but which sentence to rewrite and why.
Step 4: Re-answer and track improvement
Revise based on feedback and answer again. See the before/after score change. Your weakness profile updates across sessions so practice becomes more targeted over time.
