Practical project brief

The practical project is the decision round - at Cursor, finalists often do an intensive, paid, hands-on build with the team. This section is a self-administered version of that brief, with the realism injected on purpose, because a clean sample list teaches you nothing about how you behave when a provider dies mid-run.

Give yourself a fixed window (2–3 hours), a 200-row sample list and the constraints below. Build it in Clay if that's your tool or script it - the team cares that it works and that you can defend it, not which logo you used.
