Case Cracker

Case Analyzer

Describe a business problem — get the right framework, approach, and solution steps explained simply.

How this works

This is a rule-based study guide, not a live AI model. It matches your problem to one of 7 common case types (profitability, market entry, M&A, pricing, growth, market sizing, operations) using keywords, then recommends the framework chain and step-by-step approach from standard consulting methodology — the same structures McKinsey, BCG, and Bain teach (hypothesis-driven thinking, MECE, issue trees). It adapts advice for your chosen geography, because regulation, market norms, and common pitfalls differ between India, the US, and the UK.

Interview formats: McKinsey interviews are typically interviewer-led (they guide the structure), while BCG and Bain are typically candidate-led (you drive the framework) — though formats often vary by role and office. This tool trains you for both.

Framework Library

frameworks used in real consulting — from must-know core to rare situational tools. Each one shows when to use it, the steps, and where it comes from. 30 include a clickable link to the original source; the rest cite the original book or paper (more links coming).

Case Library

Official free practice cases published by firms on their own sites (with links), plus original practice cases written for this app. Cases marked 'original' are fictional teaching scenarios.
