Case viewer

Read the brief, then put up to three outputs side by side, each with the LLM judge’s verdict on every check. Highlights mark what a PM had to fix.

The brief

Build a clickable prototype that lets a patient move an existing appointment to another available slot in one flow. Deliver a single self-contained HTML file that opens straight into the flow in a browser: no design canvas, artboard or "play" step. Use made-up data.

ScenarioSam Patel has a GP appointment with Dr Amira Khan at Harbour Medical Centre on Tuesday 6 October at 09:30 and needs to move it. Show the next seven days of availability; at least one of those days is fully booked.

ConstraintsDesigned for a mobile screen, about 390px wide. No login, sign-up or account screens. Show a clear "no slots available" state for a fully booked day. The original appointment stays booked until the patient confirms, and the confirmation shows the new time.

What a strong answer does

A working mobile rebooking flow: pick a new slot, confirm, and see the new time confirmed; a fully booked day says so clearly; nothing beyond rebooking.

The PM job

Getting a clickable prototype in front of users or stakeholders fast.

Why it matters

A prototype that looks right but whose core interaction is broken wastes a research session. This task rewards working behaviour over polish.

What good looks like

The core interaction works end to end
Respects the stated constraints and scope
Handles the empty and error states named in the brief
Says what it's testing and what's faked
Looks like something you'd share: clear hierarchy, none of the stock AI-template look

Deliberately not measured

Production code quality
Design to a requested style: the brief never asks for one, so this measures default taste

Capability tested

Turning a spec into a usable interactive artefact

The failure we’re looking for

An attractive shell with a broken or absent core interaction

Grading

Browser checks (interaction and design) and decision model, calibrated against a blind PM review

This task measures the whole setup. Tools, instructions and skills in the harness do real work here, so read the harness as carefully as the model name.
