What makes a strong case-study analysis
A clear problem statement, a MECE breakdown of the key issues, evidence-backed analysis, and a specific recommendation with the risks named. The reviewer scores your write-up on exactly these dimensions.
Structure your write-up
Lead with the recommendation, then support it: the situation, the drivers you analyzed, the trade-offs, and the implementation risks. The reviewer flags where the logic jumps or the conclusion isn't earned.
Practice the real thing
A written analysis is great practice, but consulting interviews are live. Run a full timed case to pressure-test the same skills out loud.
