Mock practical: a real launch exercise

Cursor's loop almost certainly hands you a take-home or live exercise, because the team runs on paid trial projects and wants to see the work, not hear about it. Treat the mock as the real thing: pick a feature, ship the artifact and be ready to defend it line by line.

The trap is producing a polished deck that says nothing a developer would believe. The bar is a differentiated positioning backed by an insight, copy a working engineer wouldn't roll their eyes at and a distribution plan that names channels and metrics. Build all three in one sitting under a clock.
