How would you answer?
Choose your interview. Say your answer out loud, then compare the reasoning.
Try the same answer in 15, 45 and 90 seconds. Keep the decision and evidence; change how much detail you include.
Management Consulting
Suppose a retailer's revenue is growing, but profit is falling. What would you investigate first?
Turn a broad problem into a focused investigation.
Clarify the profit measure and period. Separate revenue from costs, then check whether the decline is concentrated in a product, channel or store group. Prioritise the branch with the largest change before listing fixes.
Check your own answer
- Did I clarify the profit measure and comparison period?
- Did I explain which revenue or cost branch I would check first, and why?
- Did I ask for evidence that would change my next step?
Now try the follow-up
Revenue rose 10%, but gross profit was flat. What does that tell you, and what would you ask for next?

Case Math Practice

What to prepare for an MBB case interview
A complete case is a chain of decisions. Build each link, then test whether you can move between them without waiting for the interviewer to repair the logic.
Case math and exhibits
Set up equations with units, calculate accurately, read charts and explain what the result changes in the case.
Commercial judgment and synthesis
Turn evidence into implications, compare options and give an answer-first recommendation with risk and next action.
PEI and fit
Prepare specific leadership, influence, conflict and motivation stories that remain credible under detailed follow-up.

Three preparation mistakes to remove first
- Using a memorised framework before defining the client decision.
- Stopping after a correct calculation instead of stating the implication.
- Giving a long recap when the interviewer needs a recommendation, risk and next step.
