Structured cases — framework, math, and a crisp recommendation.
Start a session with Simone →“Our client's profits fell 20% in a year. Where do we start?”
Every session ends with a written report scored on these three axes, with the transcript attached so you can see what earned each mark.
MECE framework laid out before diving in, logical flow, synthesis over rambling, and a clear top-down recommendation (answer first, then support, then risks).

Practical business sense, comfort with ambiguity, and composure when pressed with 'so what?' or thrown a curveball.
