Fictional practice, not an employer interview question.
A fictional asset-planning model assumes constant availability while historical data show substantial variation. Evaluate how that assumption changes the recommendation using invented figures.
Work through the case
Build or write this
Produce a sensitivity analysis, a source-quality note and a decision memo. Technical candidates can explain model limits; commercial candidates can compare scenarios; operations candidates can identify information needed from the field.
Stress-test the decision
Add uncertainty in both demand and availability. Explain which decision is robust and which requires more evidence. Keep the exercise analytical; do not propose procedures for hazardous operations.
Turn the exercise into application evidence
Use only your own work, public material or an authorized sandbox. Write the problem, your decision, the test and the limitation in a short case study. A diagram or a focused analysis is acceptable when code is not relevant to the role. Do not claim the exercise reproduces the employer's systems or guarantees an interview.
Prepare your application
For ExxonMobil, connect your application to the advertised technical or business discipline and operating context. Show a clear method, a reviewable result and appropriate escalation. Check site, rotation and qualification requirements individually rather than assuming all roles follow one office-based model.
