What this question tests

Product improvement for an online grocery marketplace: identifying friction specific to grocery shopping, like freshness and substitutions.

How to approach it

  1. Identify the user: time-pressed households doing weekly grocery shopping online, often price and freshness sensitive.
  2. Name pain points specific to grocery: unreliable delivery windows, out-of-stock items substituted poorly, and produce freshness inconsistency.
  3. Propose a solution: a smarter substitution flow where users pre-approve specific alternate items per product, instead of the app choosing at delivery time.
  4. Propose a second improvement: real time delivery slot accuracy with proactive notification if a slot will be missed.
  5. Prioritize substitutions first since poor substitutions are a top driver of repeat-order dissatisfaction in grocery e-commerce.
  6. Define success as reduction in substitution-related complaints and increase in repeat weekly order rate.
