Guesstimate framework for APM interviews: Step-by-step breakdown
Question: 'Estimate the number of cups of tea consumed daily on your university campus.'
1. State clarifying assumptions (campus student population = 6,000; hosteler vs day scholar split = 80/20).
2. Segment by user personas (non-tea drinkers = 30%, light drinkers = 1 cup/day, heavy exam grinders = 3 cups/day).
3. Add faculty and canteen footfall.
4. Sanity check with canteen vendor batch sizes. Interviewers care about structured logic, not the exact number.
