How these map to the role

These are the real cases of an internal dev-productivity DS: an ill-formed question you frame into a causal, honest answer for engineering leadership. The recurring instinct: productivity is multidimensional and contested — measure it objectively and causally, distrust perception and single metrics, and hold conclusions loosely.

Each answer is a coaching walkthrough: a Sample answer (clarify → approach → simulated back-and-forth → clear call), then a Deep dive with illustrative example, then a Grading rubric.
