Most candidates prepping for consulting interviews have one major blind spot: structure. You might be brilliant at math and analysis, but if your case structure is shaky—missing MECE logic, skipping guide steps, or jumping to conclusions—you're leaving points on the table.

At CasePrepared, we built our AI case interview feedback system to solve this exact problem. Our AI doesn't just simulate a case; it listens, analyzes, and gives detailed feedback on your structure and logic—immediately.

Why Structure Matters More Than You Think

In most MBB interviews, the first 60 seconds of your case response determines how your interviewer perceives your thinking. Are you organized? Are you confident? Do you have a clear plan for solving the problem? If your structure is scattered or incomplete, it's incredibly difficult to recover—even if your analysis is solid.

Unfortunately, most mock partners don't catch subtle structural flaws. They might miss that you didn't bucket costs properly. Or that your issue tree wasn't MECE. That's why so many candidates plateau even after dozens of practice sessions.

CasePrepared Evaluator: Trained to Catch What You Miss

Our AI evaluator is built around a four-part rubric used by real consulting interviewers:

  1. Structure – Did you segment the problem clearly and logically?
  2. Analysis – Did you apply frameworks effectively?
  3. Communication – Was your response organized and concise?
  4. Synthesis – Did you summarize insights and recommend next steps?

Let's focus on the Structure component—because it's where the majority of candidates make the most avoidable mistakes.

Here are five structural errors the CasePrepared AI consistently flags:

  • Missing a revenue/cost breakdown when asked to diagnose a profitability issue
  • Lacking MECE logic (e.g. overlapping or unclear buckets) in your issue tree
  • Jumping to a framework without first clarifying the objective and context
  • Using generic buckets (e.g. "marketing, operations, strategy") without tailoring
  • Skipping a recap of the structure before analysis, losing clarity

Instant, Unbiased Feedback—Every Time

After each response, the AI gives you a score and a short rationale. It highlights where structure was weak or incomplete and suggests what should have been added. The feedback is instant—usually in under 600 milliseconds—so you can immediately do another round and improve on the spot.

That kind of fast iteration is what makes top candidates improve so quickly. You don't need to book another peer mock or wait for coaching feedback. You can self-correct in the moment and build true pattern recognition.

"The evaluator flagged that I was missing segmentation on costs—and I'd never realized it."
"It told me I wasn't being MECE in my buckets, which no one else had ever called out."
