The prompt

Hollin & Rye runs 180 bakery cafés across the UK. The CEO is asking whether to close the 30 weakest stores. It is your final round, and the partner says: "Forget the slides. What would you tell the CEO on Monday?"

Partner-led: an open, conversational case. The partner gives a few numbers when asked, pushes back twice, and wants a clear answer.

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.
