The prompt

A pharmacy chain in Brazil grew revenue last year, but its operating profit fell by a third. The chief financial officer asks why, and whether it should worry. You lead the case and ask for the lines you need.

Candidate-led: there is no exhibit up front. You ask for the income-statement lines and the store data, and the interviewer gives only what you ask for.

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.
