How to structure your estimation answer
Interviewers care about a defensible model more than an exact number. State assumptions, keep units visible, and sanity-check the result.
- Clarify the geography, time period, population, and exact quantity being estimated.
- Choose a top-down or bottom-up model and write the equation before inserting numbers.
- Use rounded assumptions, explain their source, and keep units consistent through every calculation.
- Give a range, test the answer against a known benchmark, and name the assumption with the most sensitivity.
Practise this question under interview conditions. Answer it out loud against a timer with an AI interviewer that asks follow-ups, then review the scored report.
