This question evaluates end-to-end ML ownership and operational troubleshooting skills, including detection of data and modeling issues, trade-off analysis, and evidence-based impact measurement within the Machine Learning/MLOps domain.

What were the most significant challenges you faced during model development (e.g., data quality issues, leakage, class imbalance, overfitting/underfitting, non-stationarity, limited labels, latency/throughput constraints)? How did you detect them, what alternatives did you consider, what solution did you implement, and what evidence shows it worked (before/after metrics)?
