A short fictional banking example shows the learning loop: investigate, attempt, compare and revise. Then explore the free practice workspace yourself.
No account or payment needed. Self-guided practice, not live coaching or human marking.
01 / INVESTIGATE · FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
One customer. Two loan applications.
Operations reports duplicate applications. Before recommending a fix, separate the observation from your hypothesis.
Submission history
Two requests were recorded five seconds apart for the same customer and loan amount.
What is still unknown?
Were these retries of one intended application? Was the confirmation delayed? What should happen on a retry?
02 / ATTEMPT
03 / Compare with a worked requirement and test
Proposed requirement: When a customer retries submission of the same intended application, preserve one application and show its current status. Confirm how a retry is identified and how long that rule applies with the relevant stakeholders.
Example acceptance test: Given one application has been accepted, when the same submission is retried within the agreed retry window, then no second application is created and the existing application reference is returned.
Challenge the answer: How should the system distinguish a retry from a genuinely new application? What happens if the first response is lost? These details need clarification before implementation.
04 / See how to explain this in an interview
“In a simulated banking project, I investigated duplicate submissions by comparing a customer report with request history. I proposed retry behaviour, made the open assumptions visible, and described an acceptance test. I would confirm the retry window and application identity with stakeholders before treating the requirement as agreed.”
