As reminder list this could be very useful, but practically speaking, without some guidance around expected answers with red and yellow flags this might not be all that valuable.

For example are there answers someone should actually care about, or are these questions to ask to just make it appear that you are engaged?

Do you have a data warehouse?

What if the company says, "No"? What if they say "Yes"? Are either answer a red flag?

What’s your P95 latency?

What if they say "100ms"? What if they say "5s"? Is either a red flag? What if they ask "Are you asking about first response, fist meaningful paint, largest contentful paint, or page complete?

This list would be great if you added some guidance around what might be the ramifications of certain answers. Even just something as simple as: "If the answer here is "No", you might want to dive deeper into such and such."

Keep up the good work.
