case interviews

Consulting cases across common categories.

Each run walks the real interview arc — stem, clarifiers, framework, data rounds with a so-what, then an answer-first recommendation. The arithmetic is exactly the kind the techniques on this site are built for.

Pick a case type

Profitability decline

lvl 1

Profit = Revenue − Cost

Break a shrinking profit into price, volume and cost, then find the segment dragging the average down.

Run a case →

Market sizing

lvl 1

Population → households → units → $

Build a defensible top-down estimate out loud, then sanity-check it per person.

Run a case →

Market / product entry

lvl 2

Attractive? Can we win? Worth it?

Size the prize, run the unit economics, and test breakeven and payback.

Run a case →

Pricing move

lvl 2

Δ price vs. Δ volume

Trade a price increase against elasticity using contribution margin, not revenue.

Run a case →

M&A / private equity

lvl 3

Multiple, synergies, payback

Value a target off EBITDA, add synergies as a perpetuity, and find the real entry multiple.

Run a case →

Growth strategy

lvl 2

Rank the levers on profit

Compare three growth levers on incremental profit rather than incremental revenue.

Run a case →

Operations & cost

lvl 2

Capacity, utilisation, unit cost

Find the idle capacity behind a rising unit cost and put a number on recovering it.

Run a case →

Chart interpretation

lvl 1

Read it, compute it, so-what it

Turn a two-year segment exhibit into growth, share and contribution to growth.

Run a case →

TMT: telecom, tech & media

lvl 3

ARPU, churn, LTV/CAC, capex payback

Sector cases of  TMT: subscriber economics, churn treadmill, and whether a network or content build pays back.

Run a case →

Valuation: DCF & multiples

lvl 3

CAPM → WACC → EV → equity

Put the finance models to work: build a discount rate from CAPM, value the cash flows as a perpetuity, bridge EV to equity, and cross-check against comparable multiples.

Run a case →

Data & analytics

lvl 3

Lift, standard error, regression

A statistics case: judge whether an A/B test result is signal or noise, size it in money, and stress-test the regression behind next year's plan.

Run a case →

Organisational diagnosis

lvl 3

Why the transformation did not land

A post-mortem case: trace promised savings to the P&L, find the leakage, and name the incentive and decision-rights failure behind it.
