Why observed practice

Structure fails more candidates than mathematics does.

Generic frameworks and untailored issue trees drive more rejections than calculation errors. Knowing the craft is the start. Using it under pressure, with someone watching, is where the gaps show and get fixed.

What interviews actually score

Six dimensions. Scored, then discussed after you leave.

Interviewers score all six, then compare notes once the door closes. Getting to a number is the minimum. How you got there is the assessment. Select a dimension to see what separates the bar from below it.

01 · Structure
Is ambiguity made solvable?

Can you take a vague question and turn it into a plan that could actually be worked? Interviewers look for a structure built for this client and this question, not a framework recalled from a book.

Below the barRecites the textbook tree, whatever the question.
Above the barBuilds branches around this client, then says which to test first.
Sample scorecard

What you receive after every session.

Six dimensions, each placed against the bar with a specific note, and one focus for next time. Switch between sessions to see how a fictional candidate moves toward the bar.

ScorecardCandidate A · Fictional practice case · Session two
Sample
Structure
At the bar
Clear first structure. Tailor the second branch to the client rather than the textbook.
Judgment
Below the bar
Spent too long on a minor cost line. Ask which lever moves the answer before you calculate.
Communication
Above the bar
Led with the answer and signposted well. Keep the synthesis this tight.
Business sense
At the bar
Good sanity check on the market size. Say what the number means for the decision.
Presence
At the bar
Calm under challenge. Slow down in the first minute.
Coachability
Above the bar
Took the hint on the second prompt and rebuilt quickly.
Focus for next session
Prioritise before you calculate. Open each analysis by naming the lever you expect to matter most and why.
