Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, and you're exactly right. We put the case study early on purpose. Rather than lean on a resume or a first-impression conversation, we'd rather see how you actually structure a problem, prioritize across competing demands, and communicate your reasoning. For a role juggling different clients, that's the most honest preview of the work we can offer and it gives you a way to stand out that a polished interview answer can't. I understand front-loading it feels a little unusual. If you're curious about the full reasoning, we wrote it up here: https://creatingvalue.substack.com/p/how-we-hire-at-clipboard. Thanks for taking the time to interview with us, and for sharing your perspective.
