Tests designing systems that unify unstructured UX artifacts into a queryable graph. Cover: ingestion with transcription, a metadata schema linking insights to evidence, and faceted cross-type search. Red flag: a flat file dump without structured tagging.

This tests whether you can architect a knowledge system that makes heterogeneous UX research discoverable and interconnected. A strong answer covers an ingestion pipeline with automated transcription and entity extraction, a unified metadata schema linking insights to raw evidence via shared taxonomies, and a faceted indexing layer enabling cross-referencing by participant, theme, or study. Red flag: describing a generic document store like SharePoint with folders but no structured relationships or search affordances across data types.
