Are your 7 PM stories ready?

Mid-career PMs need 7 archetypal stories ready for any behavioral interview. Paste what you have. We'll critique each, mark your gaps, and tell you which story to lead with.

1Failure

A meaningful failure where you owned it. What went wrong, what you learned, what changed.

2Disagreement with your manager

A substantive disagreement and how it resolved. Show your actual reasoning, not just deference.

3Disagreement with engineering or design

Cross-functional conflict and the resolution mechanism — not just "we talked it out."

4Prioritization under constraints

Competing priorities. What you chose, what you cut, and the logic behind it.

5Missed deadline

Root cause and recovery. Avoid blame-deflecting; own your part.

6Team success you drove

A team win — and your specific contribution, not just "the team shipped X."

7Product design judgment

Design tradeoffs and articulated principles, not just feature description.

Fill in at least 3 stories (currently 0).

How it works

1

Paste what you've got

Up to 7 stories - one per archetype. Skip the ones you haven't built yet. As long as you have 3, we can map your gaps.

2

We mark every archetype

Failure. Disagreement with manager. Disagreement with eng. Prioritization. Missed deadline. Team success. Product design. Each marked covered, partial, or missing.

3

See your strongest story and your weakest

We pick the one to lead with and the one that needs the most work, with one-line feedback on each. No vanity score - just where to focus.

What this tool does not do

This is a 90-second gap map. The full Story Studio is a coaching loop.

Coaches each story until it's interview-ready

Inside the product, the AI runs a guided build per story - asks for the missing metric, challenges vague actions, won't save until it holds up under follow-up pressure.

Pressure-tests them in mock rounds

Once stories are in your library, mock rounds pull from them and push three follow-ups deep - the same way a real interviewer would probe.

Tracks coverage as your library grows

Story Studio shows live coverage across every behavioral theme and tells you exactly which archetype to build next.

Questions

Why these 7 archetypes?

These are the consensus categories from PM hiring threads on Blind, Reddit, and the broader candidate community. Whatever the exact wording an interviewer uses, behavioral questions almost always land in one of these seven buckets.

Is this really free?

The gap map is free - no email required. The full STAR critique with framework recommendations is sent by email after a confirmation click. After that, the live coaching loop is inside the 7-day trial.

Will my stories be used to train AI?

No. Your input is sent to our LLM provider to generate the critique, then dropped. We don't store the text of your stories.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT will give you generic STAR feedback. This maps your library against the seven archetypes interviewers actually rotate through, picks your strongest and weakest, and tells you which one to lead with - the way a coach would.
