Live systems-design drill

Describe what "Design enrichment, scoring and routing for a new startup program" changes in practice.

Step 1 of 3

“Design enrichment, scoring and routing for a new startup program.” That's the prompt and the clock is thirty minutes. This is the AI-barred round - no copilot, no autocomplete - so the room is grading your raw reasoning and whether you narrate the tradeoffs you reject, not just the ones you keep.

Run a fixed spine so the open-endedness doesn't sink you: capture, dedup, enrich, score, route, measure. Draw it as a left-to-right flow on the board and walk it once before you go deep on any box.
