Build case frameworks from first principles

This course teaches you to build a case structure for any prompt, including industries you’ve never worked in, and to answer brainstorming questions with ideas that are organized instead of just listed. It has 36 video lessons (7 hours) and 100 drills with sample answers.

Memorized frameworks rarely fit the actual question, and they leave you stuck when the case moves somewhere unexpected. Interviewers notice. The course replaces them with a repeatable 4-step process for building broad and deep frameworks from first principles. It then shows you how to communicate your structure and move into the analysis.

What’s inside

  • 36 video lessons: how frameworks are scored, the problem with memorized frameworks, the 4-step process, broad and deep frameworks, probing and moving on from the structure, communication, and brainstorming
  • Five guided practice examples where a framework is built live, plus guided communication examples
  • 100 drills: 70 framework prompts and 30 brainstorming questions, from standard cases to very creative ones
  • Sample answers: read each prompt or listen to it as an audio recording, then compare your answer with detailed sample answers (sometimes more than one per prompt) and a suggestion for driving the analysis further

How to work through it

  1. Watch the two free Start Here lessons, then the section on memorized frameworks. It explains why the rest of the course works the way it does.
  2. Learn the 4-step process before you open any drill.
  3. In each guided practice example, pause after the prompt and build your own framework first. Then compare.
  4. In the drills, give yourself the time you’d ask for in an interview, say your framework out loud, then open the sample answer.
  5. Mix your drills: industries you know, industries you don’t, and brainstorming questions.
