Describe the task
Claude's ability to extract data from case materials, build financial models, and analyze your work allows you to practice cases and receive feedback. Let Claude take care of repetitve data entry and spreadsheet organization, so you can focus on the strategic thinking..
Upload your practice case study and tell Claude what you're working toward, whether that's interview prep, skill development, or learning proven frameworks.
I'm practicing for consulting interviews. Set up this practice scenario for me—using case I've uploaded, extract the data into an spreadsheet model with formulas and frameworks. Then, tell me what questions I should focus on.
After I finish my analysis and write my recommendation, I'll share it for feedback. Review it like a senior partner would: check my numbers, evaluate my logic, and tell me specifically what needs improvement.

Give Claude context
To receive tailored practice materials, provide Claude with your case materials for context.
Required context
Upload your practice study files so that Claude can analyze the case, find relevant data points, and build the tools you need to practice effectively.

What Claude creates
Claude builds a complete practice environment: a spreadsheet model with extracted data and analytical frameworks, plus structured guidance on what to analyze and how to approach your recommendation.
From Claude
I've set up your complete case practice workspace. Here's what I've created:
1. Financial Analysis Model
Your spreadsheet includes:
- Data extraction sheet: All key metrics from the case (revenue, costs, market data, customer segments) organized and labeled
- Calculation sheets: Profitability analysis with breakdown by business line, margin calculations, and growth projections
- Framework templates: Pre-built structures for break-even analysis, market sizing, and competitive positioning
- Scenario analysis: Adjustable assumption cells so you can test different strategies
- Dashboard summary: Key findings and metrics that should drive your recommendation
2. Your Practice Guide
Key Questions to Answer:
- What's driving the current profitability issue? (Use the data to quantify)
- Which business segment offers the best growth opportunity?
- What are the risks and how do you mitigate them?
- What does success look like in 12 months?
Analyses You Should Complete:
- Profitability breakdown by product line (the data's ready in your model)
- Customer segment economics (CAC vs. LTV by segment)
- Competitive positioning (use the market data I've extracted)
- Growth scenario modeling (adjust the assumptions and see impact)
Next Steps:
Work through your analysis using the Excel model—test scenarios, identify patterns in the data, and develop your strategic point of view. Once you've written your recommendation (even if it's rough), share it with me and I'll review it with senior partner-level feedback on both your analytical approach and strategic reasoning.
I'll look for: analytical rigor, logical structure, data usage, strategic insight, and practical implementability.

Follow up prompts
Continue the conversation with Claude to refine, expand, or explore further.
Compare your approach to alternative solutions
Ask Claude to describe other valid approaches so you can understand new ways to solve the same case. This helps to identify gaps in your methodology and expand your analytical toolkit.
What would a different but equally strong approach look like? Show me an alternative analytical path I could have taken.
Dive deeper into certain frameworks
Learn specific analytical techniques and how to apply them effectively when being tested or under pressure.
Walk me through how to use a profitability tree for this case. What should I be calculating at each branch? Show me what insights I'm looking for at each level.
Request a review on your work
Get specific feedback on logical gaps, weak conclusions, or missing analysis before you finalize your recommendation.
Here's my draft recommendation for the restaurant expansion case: [paste your analysis]. Is my logic sound? What assumptions am I making that I haven't tested? What would make this recommendation stronger?

Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting
Practice different case types
Use Claude to generate different types; profitability cases, market entry, growth strategy, pricing cases. This variety will enhance your learning by exposing you to different patterns and frameworks.
Store practice cases in a Project
Create a "Case Practice" Project and keep all your work there. You can compare across cases and see your progress over time. With Memory in Projects, Claude can remember and track your level of understanding to give more targeted feedback—like identifying which concepts or frameworks you often struggle with.
Enable Extended Thinking for detailed reviews
When you want thorough feedback on a complex recommendation, turn on Extended Thinking before asking. You get deeper analysis of your logic and more nuanced suggestions.
