Define and integrate room ranking factors evaluates metric design, causal reasoning, experiment setup, diagnostics, SQL/statistical checks, and recommendations in a realistic interview setting. A strong answer states assumptions, handles edge cases, explains trade-offs, and shows how to validate the result clearly.

Propose a ranking system for assigning rooms to meeting requests. Identify and justify priority factors such as room usage count, historical meeting duration fit, capacity match, equipment availability, and proximity. Describe how to combine these into a scoring function, how to handle cold-start and ties, and how you would run an experiment (e.g., A/B test) to validate and tune the weights.
