Introduction4:22
An intro into what we will learn during this course and how we think about frameworking overall.
Classic vs. Unconventional Case Types2:51
A breakdown of how to think about classic case types and unconventional case types (similarly and differently!)
How to Structure and Framework10:29
So how do we actually framework? And what does it actually mean? Let's throw out MECE and actually talk in layman's terms about how to framework.
Being Objective-Driven6:24
Objective, objective, objective. Nothing is more important than actually answering the question - surprisingly easier said than done!
Structure Down vs. Build Up Approach4:30
Two proprietary approaches to effectively framework - only found here!
Unconventional and Illegal Buckets6:57
What buckets should you never use? Which buckets should be avoided so as to successfuly framework and navigate a case? You'll also be provided with 8 "universal" frameworks that can be leveraged across a multitude of unconventional/unexpected case type.

Robber/Thief Exercise8:02
Welcome to non-business prompts! Here, we take out the distraction of business terminology/concepts (ROI, Breakeven, Oil & Gas, margin, etc.) and focus on the CORE skills of frameworking. By focusing on just structured thinking and cutting out the noise, we can much more effectively learn how to framework.
Practice Prompts

How to Practice3:06
Practice makes perfect! Here's how you can become a frameworking whizz.

Not All Case Types Are Created Equal3:40
You have probably seen frameworks for Market Entry, Growth, etc. Think that you can take an online Market Entry framework and copy-paste it any time you hear Market Entry? Not so fast!
One Sentence Summary For Main Case Types4:18
Simple is hard. Complicated is easy. Here is a simplified, one sentence summary, for every major case type.
World of Frameworks Walkthrough46:41
Arguably the most valuable resource in this course! Get a complete, hollistic, interconnected overview of every major case type AND how they connect/interact with each other.

How To Use Frameworking Exercises4:33
It's time to put your case interview frameworking skills to the test! instructions on how to use the frameworking exercises.
Bullet Proof Incorporated - Exercise10:34
The first of your growth prompt practice exercises. Make sure to pause the video after the prompt, work on the framework yourself, and then hit play when you're ready to hear the answer(s).
EV Passenger Vehicle - Exercise9:08
Ready to try again? Copy-paste the frameworks from the prior lesson at your own peril.
Rare Disease - Exercise8:35
Third time's the charm. But wait, the framework for this growth prompt is completely different to the prior two?
Ride-Hailing App - Exercise5:34
Let's see if you can truly create your own tailored framework to this prompt. Again, you can't copy-paste but rather have to break this problem down yourself!

Dental Insurance - Exercise11:29
Moving on the profitability. Test your frameworking here. Revenue and Cost does NOT make a profitability framework.
Food Delivery Company - Exercise5:15
Take two.
Korean OEM - Exercise6:24
Remember, copy-paste won't work here - think for yourself!
Shared Office Space - Exercise5:40
If WeWork comes to mind, you're probably right.
Wireless Carrier - Exercise11:25
We've given you a 5th exercise here just for good luck! Really LISTEN to the clues in this prompt.

Where to Source - Exercise5:14
Remember, 50% or more of cases nowadays are unconventional. Gone are the days of just being able to learn the classic case types!
Sales Structure - Exercise7:28
Try not to guess. Try not to have random buckets. Rather, break down this problem like you would in real life.
Digitization Program - Exercise8:45
A taste of a more technical case interview topic, like Platinion. But fair game in a generalist case interview!
National Education System - Exercise9:00
Straight off of McKinsey's website.
Ride-Hailing Stickiness - Exercise5:25
Uber, Lyft, and, yes, absolutely a prompt you could see in a real case interview.
