There are one or more grammatical or syntax peculiarities in the template answer proposed in TFA:
“I’m still trying to establish whether this role is a good fit for me. Why? What is this role worth to your company?”
The "Why?" is non-sequitously sandwiched in-between a statement of personal intent and a question that seeks to deflect back to the interviewer, reversing the question.
Leaving aside the issues of whether each of those pieces is strategically sound or likely to work, the syntax of the response requires (a) unscrambling, and (b) refinement.
