Turn the comment prompt into a causal estimate of collaboration

Causal inferenceHard

Problem. Leadership quotes a finding: teams that collaborate in month one are 6.5x more likely to become a customer. You believe it is confounded. You cannot randomize whether a team collaborates. But you did randomize a prompt that made teams collaborate more. Can you get a causal number out of that, and what does it actually mean?

Before you reveal: say your answer out loud, as if you were in the real interview — get your reasoning across clearly first. There is no single correct answer: reading what the interviewer is really after and defending your own thinking is what makes an answer strong.
