- Design a citation system so lawyers can fully trust Harvey's outputs.Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Design a Workflow Builder that lets non-technical lawyers automate recurring tasks.Harvey · Product design · Medium
- A top law firm says Vault’s AI search is promising, but attorneys still avoid using it in high-stakes matters. How would you diagnose whether the trust gap comes from retrieval quality, citation and explanation UX, permissioning concerns, workflow fit, or change management, and how would you prioritize the first product changes?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Several top law firm customers say they will not expand Harvey without stronger identity and access management. How would you prioritize and scope SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and audit logging for the first two releases of Command Center, and how would you balance enterprise security requirements against implementation complexity and admin usability?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Lawyers will rarely ask for 'better queuing' or 'stronger isolation,' but they will care deeply about accuracy, latency, reliability, auditability, and security. How would you uncover those needs and translate them into clear infrastructure product requirements and prioritized engineering work? Be specific about discovery methods, requirement framing, and how you would separate must-haves from nice-to-haves.Harvey · Product design · Hard
- You have 4 weeks with a strategic customer in a new professional-services vertical to identify one workflow for an AI-agent pilot. How would you run discovery, score candidate workflows, and decide whether to solve the problem by configuring Harvey’s existing capabilities, building a reusable extension, or not pursuing a bespoke solution at all?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Design the core dashboard experience for Command Center for a large regulated legal customer. What information should be visible on the default admin view, how would you organize adoption, access, and governance signals, and how would you make the dashboard simple enough to use regularly but trustworthy enough for operational decision-making?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Design the first version of a Command Center dashboard for enterprise admins at a large law firm. What core views would you include to show adoption, risky or non-compliant usage, and governance coverage, and how would you make the dashboard actionable for Harvey’s Customer Success and Sales teams without turning it into a generic BI report?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- A global law firm wants Harvey for M&A diligence, but each partner runs diligence differently. How would you identify one pilot workflow to target, decide which parts Harvey should handle versus leave manual, and define the criteria for expanding from pilot to broader rollout?Harvey · Product design · Hard
- Harvey wants to launch a new AI product for legal teams, but customer needs are still ambiguous. How would you define an MVP that solves one concrete workflow end-to-end, respects enterprise data and security constraints, and creates value for both practitioners and economic buyers? Be specific about the target user, job to be done, scope cuts, and what you would defer.Harvey · Product design · Hard
- A top law firm is willing to pilot Vault, but attorneys are hesitant to move matter documents into a new system because of security concerns, ethical walls, permissions complexity, and workflow disruption. How would you diagnose the biggest adoption blockers, what evidence would you gather, and how would you prioritize the first product changes to improve rollout success?Harvey · Product design · Hard
Strategy questions (20)
- How should Harvey price for law firms vs. in-house legal teams?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- How would you grow Harvey adoption among conservative, risk-averse law firms?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- You inherit Vault with strong customer interest but limited engineering capacity. How would you set Vault’s product vision and a 12-month roadmap across file management, AI search/Q&A, document extraction, secure sharing, and platform investments like permissions, indexing, and integrations? Walk through your prioritization framework, major bets, and what you would explicitly defer.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey can fund only one major integration track next: deeper iManage support, broader SharePoint coverage, or cross-platform capabilities like sync, permissions mapping, and admin controls. How would you decide what to build first, and what tradeoffs would you make across customer demand, implementation effort, security risk, and strategic leverage?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey’s Command Center needs to serve three jobs for enterprise admins: understanding adoption, managing users and access, and enforcing governance. How would you define the product strategy and first 12-month roadmap for Command Center, and what framework would you use to make trade-offs across those three areas for Harvey’s largest legal customers?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- You inherit a platform where teams lack visibility into request failures, latency regressions, customer-impacting incidents, and model-quality degradation. How would you define the product scope for observability, decide what to ship first, and ensure the work improves customer outcomes rather than just adding internal tooling?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey is being pushed to ship new platform capabilities faster, while enterprise customers are escalating concerns about uptime, latency, and trust. As the PM for Core Platform, how would you build a 12-month infrastructure roadmap that balances reliability, performance, security, and feature velocity? Walk through your prioritization framework, the inputs you would use, and how you would handle tradeoffs when these goals conflict.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- After several custom deployments in adjacent verticals, how would you identify which patterns should become core product, which should remain configurable templates, and which should stay services-only? Walk through how you would translate that into a reusable vertical offering, including packaging and pricing principles.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Assume you join Harvey tomorrow and have 60 days to shape the Command Center vision. How would you work with enterprise admins, security stakeholders, Sales, and Customer Success to identify the highest-value admin pain points, and how would you turn that input into a roadmap that executives and engineers will both support?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey is preparing to launch a new agentic AI capability for legal teams in 6 weeks. How would you partner with product, engineering, legal, executives, and go-to-market to shape the announcement? Please cover how you would decide the announcement angle, pressure-test claims, line up proof points and customer evidence, prepare spokespeople, sequence outreach across tech/business/legal media, and manage launch risks if the product details are still moving.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey has to explain the same product advancement to two audiences with very different needs: AI insiders who care how the system works, and lawyers who care whether it is reliable, safe, and useful in practice. How would you build a communications strategy that keeps one core product narrative while tailoring proof points, language, channels, and spokespersons for each audience? Walk through your audience segmentation, message hierarchy, launch assets, and how you would handle tensions between technical transparency and customer clarity.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- A top-20 law firm needs an admin feature to pass a security review in 6 weeks, but IT wants SCIM, Security wants immutable audit logs, Design wants a simpler workflow, and Engineering says all of it cannot ship in time. How would you drive alignment, decide what ships now vs later, and communicate that decision internally and to the customer?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- A global law firm says it will not expand Harvey beyond one practice group until Command Center has stronger identity and access management. How would you decide the MVP and sequencing across SSO, SCIM, RBAC, audit logging, and granular access controls, and what trade-offs would you make with Engineering and Security?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey can only make one major Command Center investment in the next 2 quarters: usage/adoption analytics, identity and access administration, or governance/compliance controls. How would you define the 12-month product strategy, sequence those three areas, and justify the trade-offs for large law firms and legal departments?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Three strategic clients each want custom workflow support this quarter, but your team can only deeply support one and lightly support another. How would you prioritize across client value, learning value, and reusability for the core product, and what would you explicitly say no to?Harvey · Strategy · Medium
- A law firm is enthusiastic about Harvey but hesitant to deploy because of privacy, governance, and reliability concerns. How would you scope the initial deployment, sequence risk-reduction steps, and make tradeoffs between speed, trust, and workflow ambition so the engagement keeps moving?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- During a deployment, partners ask for matter-specific features, associates want faster execution, legal ops wants adoption reporting, and the CIO wants stronger controls. How would you turn that feedback into roadmap recommendations and decide which requests are scalable product investments versus client-specific services work?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey can only fund 2-3 ecosystem bets in the next 12 months. How would you identify and prioritize the first 0→1 integrations or data partnerships to build across the core app, Word Add-In, and Outlook plugin for enterprise legal teams? Walk through your framework and how you would balance customer pull, workflow frequency, implementation cost, and strategic defensibility.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Vault underpins how law firms store and use sensitive documents in Harvey. How would you define Vault’s product vision and a 12-month roadmap across ingestion/file management, search and Q&A, extraction, and secure sharing? Walk through how you’d segment customer needs, choose platform vs. feature investments, and handle high-priority requests from top firms without fragmenting the product.Harvey · Strategy · Hard
- Harvey can build only a small number of partner integrations next half. How would you prioritize which enterprise legal integrations to build first, and what rubric would you use to weigh customer demand, workflow criticality, distribution or revenue upside, implementation cost, maintenance burden, and strategic control of the platform?Harvey · Strategy · Hard
