What this question tests

Tests product design for fast time to value in a workflow tool aimed at a GTM audience under time pressure.

How to approach it

  1. Define success precisely: a GTM team member sees their first real, enriched list of prospects within their initial session, not just a completed setup wizard.
  2. Identify the entry point: ask what kind of list they want to build, for example target accounts or contacts in a specific role, using plain language rather than a blank spreadsheet.
  3. Pre populate a working example: show a sample enrichment run on their actual uploaded list or a suggested list immediately, so they see real output fast.
  4. Default to sensible enrichment fields for their stated goal, like company size and job title for an account list, rather than asking them to configure fields manually.
  5. Make the first win visible and exportable: let them immediately see, filter, and export the enriched list, reinforcing that real value was created in the first session.
