Alice

A case interview that pushes back.

Alice runs a live, spoken case the way the room runs it. She probes when your structure is loose, waits while you think, and will not rescue you from a wrong number. Ninety seconds after you finish, a written debrief scored against the hire bar.

The debrief is the product.

Every session is scored against the bar a real interviewer would apply, with the missed insight quoted in your own words and the stronger answer written out for you.

Your failure patterns carry across sessions, so the second interview starts where the first one ended.

“Prices are per 500 ml bottle. The premium segment is twice the revenue pool it first appears to be. You anchored on the volume column and never looked back.”

Ten cases

A case counts when you run it to the end and send the feedback that follows.

Your first case takes ten minutes.

Headphones, a quiet room, and something you have not rehearsed.
