What this question tests

Basic product design fundamentals: picking a user and pain point, then designing a focused solution with a success metric.

Pick a specific user, like a first-time visitor unfamiliar with the museum's layout, rather than 'museum visitors' broadly.
Identify their pain point: not knowing what to prioritize seeing in limited time, and missing context on exhibits.
Propose a focused feature: a personalized, time-boxed tour generator based on interests and available time, with context via geolocation or QR codes.
Consider institutional value: ticketing integration, membership upsell, or gift-shop cross-promotion.
Define success as percent of visitors completing a generated tour, or average dwell time per exhibit.

Narrows to one specific user and moment, a time-boxed first visit, rather than a generic museum app.
Ties the feature to a measurable visitor-experience outcome, not just novelty.
Considers the museum's business side alongside the visitor experience.

Designing a generic info app with no prioritization or personalization, missing the pain point of limited time.
No success metric, leaving the design unfalsifiable.

How would this work for a visitor with no smartphone or poor connectivity inside the building?
How would you personalize the tour without requiring a lengthy setup?
