Focus on identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with Medium's core mission of fostering quality content and community engagement. Consider metrics related to user engagement, such as time spent reading, the number of articles published, and user interactions (likes, comments, shares). Additionally, think about retention metrics, like monthly active users and subscription growth, to assess the platform's ability to keep readers and writers engaged over time. Be prepared to discuss how these metrics can be tracked and analyzed to inform product decisions and improve user experience.
