I feel Kagi's entire point of the take home assignment is to see how people handled assignments if left to their own devices with little instructions to go off.

When good companies are trying to hire engineers, they don't hire based on skill alone. They also try to hire based on how a person performs given certain constraints like time and ambiguity.

Sharing a proposal and asking for more time was probably the polar opposite what they were looking for

I think a lot of product managers prefer to see simple, fast solutions to a take home assignment. Understandable and turned in on time.
