Every exercise takes 2–3 minutes and follows the same rhythm. You can answer by voice or text.

​
1) Context

Short, clear setup so you can engage confidently. You might see:
  • A situation: what’s happening and why it matters
  • Your lens: role, audience, or constraints
  • Optional visual: chart, quote, or simple diagram
Goal: Give you enough to think out loud without Googling.

​
2) Debate

1–3 questions that prompt your reasoning — not trivia. Common patterns:
  • Trade‑offs: “What do we gain vs. what do we risk?”
  • Assumptions: “What bet are we making about behavior?”
  • Options: “What else could we do?”
  • Hypotheses: “What could explain this?”
  • Data: “What would you measure and why?”
There’s rarely a single right answer. What matters is clarity, structure, and judgment.

​
3) Debrief

Actionable feedback that helps you improve on the next rep:
  • What you covered well vs. what to try next time
  • How your answer maps to key skills
  • A concise “Socratify take” showing expert reasoning
You earn XP and add evidence toward skill proficiency.

​
Example (abbreviated)

Context: “You’re a PM at a consumer app. The team wants to add a paywall to the most‑used feature.” Debate:
  • What’s the core trade‑off? (revenue vs. engagement; churn risk; equity considerations)
  • What metrics would you watch in the first two weeks?
  • What’s the minimum viable experiment?
Debrief: Highlights if you identified the right trade‑offs, connected metrics to decisions, and proposed a realistic experiment. Want to browse the types of exercises you’ll encounter? → /exercise-types/index
