Design a Personal-Finance Product for Gig Workers

What interviewers evaluate

• Do you scope 'gig worker' to a concrete segment before designing?
• Do you find the structural insight (volatile income, zero employer scaffolding) vs generic budgeting pains?
• Does the product mechanic actually absorb volatility, or just visualize it?
• Do you reason about the business model fit for a cash-constrained user base?
• Do you define outcome metrics, not engagement metrics?
