The client should pursue Option A due to stronger unit economics and lower execution risk...

01 — Interview

Practice in a format that feels closer to the real thing

Your AI interviewer behaves like a professional former consultant. It opens the case, listens to your clarifying questions, pushes back when you are vague, and guides you through structure, analysis, and recommendation.

  • Voice-first, browser-native with no app download
  • Realistic pacing that mirrors actual first-round timing
  • Multiple case types: market entry, profitability, M&A, operations, and more
  • Firm-specific styles, interviewer personalities, and adjustable intensity
  • Builds composure and judgment through deliberate repetition
AI:

Your client is a Nordic grocery chain considering entry into Germany. How would you approach this?

You:

Before I structure, I have a few clarifying questions. What is the client's core competitive advantage in Scandinavia?

AI:

Good question. They compete on private label quality and regional supplier relationships. Margin is about 3% above the Nordic average.

You:

Got it. I'd structure this around three areas: market attractiveness, competitive position, and entry mode...

Voice interviews are desktop-only

Live AI voice interviews require a desktop browser with a quality microphone — audio reliability is too important to compromise. Drills, frameworks, learning modules, and your score reports are fully available on mobile via the upcoming iOS and Android apps.

02 — Score

Feedback should be specific enough to change behavior

After every session, your full transcript is evaluated against the case rubric. You receive structured scores across six dimensions.

Problem Structuring

How clearly and completely you mapped the problem space.

Hypothesis Quality

Whether your hypotheses were logical, specific, and testable.

Quantitative Reasoning

Your math accuracy, estimation approach, and data interpretation.

Synthesis

How well you connected findings into a coherent recommendation.

Communication

Clarity, structure of speech, and conciseness under pressure.

Poise

How you handled ambiguity, pushback, and course corrections.

A separate behavioral score evaluates presence, communication habits, and delivery patterns across your session.

03 — Diagnose

Know exactly where you stand.

After each session, you receive a readiness band — a clear signal of where you fall on the path from beginner to interview-ready.

Your Top Gap

Quantitative Reasoning

You structured the market well but struggled with the size calculation. Practice framing estimates before doing the math.

Recommended Next Steps

  1. 1. Do a profitability case to practice cost/revenue decomposition
  2. 2. Review estimation frameworks for market sizing
  3. 3. Retake this case focusing on quant precision
04 — Coach

When you want help, not just a verdict.

Interview mode tells you how you performed. Coaching mode helps you improve while you practice.

Stage-by-stage feedback

Get coached after each section — structure, analysis, synthesis — so you know what to fix before moving on.

Retry weak moments

Practice your structure or recommendation again with guided support — then see how the second attempt compares.

Learn the patterns

The coach teaches reusable framework patterns and flags common mistakes drawn from the case data.

Build confidence with rigor

Encouraging but honest. The coach scores your estimated performance and tells you exactly where to focus next.

Same prompt, two modes

Interview vs. Coaching — what each sounds like.

Here's the same case prompt — a regional grocer with a profit drop — handled by each mode. Interview mode is terse and final-verdict. Coaching mode teaches while you practice.

Shared prompt

“Nordic Grocery is a regional chain. Their profit is down 14% year-over-year. Walk me through how you'd diagnose the problem.”

Interview ModeTerse, post-session verdict

You: “I'd split profit into revenue and costs, then break revenue into volume and price...”

AI: “Go ahead.”

You: “Meat segment lost $2M in margin this year...”

AI: “Margin dropped from 18% to 12%. What's driving it?”

You: “Beef prices are up 22% — we didn't pass it to customers...”

Post-session

Score 78. Structure was clean but you skipped the competitor data in exhibit 2. Top gap: synthesis. Practice plan issued.

Coaching ModeStage-by-stage, in-session

You: “I'd split profit into revenue and costs, then break revenue into volume and price...”

Coach: “Good instinct to split the P&L. Before you go further — the prompt says regional grocer. What does 'regional' hint at?”

You: “Local competition — maybe a new entrant.”

Coach: “Right, add competitive dynamics to your tree. Now move to data — what would you ask for first?”

You: “Margin trend by segment.”

Coach: “Meat margin went 18% → 12%. What's your working hypothesis?”

Mid-session

Coach flags patterns as they happen — you fix the gap in real time instead of reading about it afterward.

When to use which:interview mode for final-stage readiness reps where you want honest pressure; coaching mode when you're learning a new industry or dimension and want the mistakes named as you make them.

05 — Improve

Improve with purpose

Every session ends with next steps. Every gap has a drill. Every week has a plan.

Post-Session Analysis

Transcript coaching moments, filler word analysis, delivery insights, and custom weakness drills after every session.

500+ Practice Drills

Math, exhibits, structures, synthesis, speed rounds, and an interactive framework builder — all tied to your gaps.

AI Study Buddy

Ask concept questions, get framework help, or practice mental math anytime — available 24/7 at near-zero cost.

Progress Tracking

Score trajectory, readiness progression, milestones, trend alerts, and adaptive case recommendations.

Daily Prep System

Personalized daily tasks, spaced repetition scheduling, timeline-matched study plans, and a community leaderboard to keep you on track through your entire recruiting cycle.

06 — Organizations

Built for individual candidates. Designed to scale for organizations.

For consulting clubs and universities, CaseGrade offers cohort analytics, member management, readiness distribution views, competition modes, and pilot access for evaluation.

Practice is common. Measured readiness is not.
