Estimate the number of transactions processed by a single cashier at a busy, standard-sized supermarket during one hour of peak time.
A guesstimate case is an interview problem where candidates are asked to approximate the size, volume, or value of a market, product, or phenomenon with limited data. The focus is not on the exact number but on demonstrating structured thinking, logical assumptions, and step-by-step calculations. Candidates are expected to clarify scope, break the problem into components, make reasonable assumptions, perform rough math, and provide a range, all while clearly communicating their reasoning and highlighting key insights.
To ensure you have the best possible experience, treat this simulation like the real thing. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
Grab a Pen and Paper: This is essential. You'll need it to structure your thoughts, perform calculations, and take notes on the information you receive.
Find a Quiet Space: The AI interviewer is sensitive to voice input and will be interrupted if it detects noise, therefore find a quiet spot and give the interview as you would for any other interview.
Think Out Loud: Your thought process is what's being evaluated. Verbalize your structure, your hypotheses, and your math so the interviewer can follow your logic.
The Persona is a Test: Your AI interviewer will be professional and demanding. This is intentional to simulate the pressure of a real consulting interview. Stay confident and trust your analysis.
The AI is a Tool, Not a Person: Our simulation is highly advanced, but it's not perfect. If it seems to misunderstand something, simply clarify your question and continue with your logical approach.
