The prompt

A Dubai-based online home-goods retailer serves the UAE and Saudi Arabia from one warehouse in Dubai, which will be full in two years. Should it expand in Dubai or open a new warehouse in Riyadh?

Candidate-led: you set up a cost-to-serve comparison and ask for the costs; the interviewer answers what you ask.

Practice with a partner

1. Send the interviewer link to a friend. They read the case aloud and hold the answers.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
