So what drill

Every partner asks it: so what? Read a few numbers from a real business situation, then write what they mean and what to do, in one or two sentences and 40 words or fewer.

How it works

A round is 4 short situations: a cost going up, a price cut, a margin target, a profit table, an investment or a growth move. The numbers come from the industry briefs. Each answer gets five checks:

  1. Answer first: the first sentence says what it means or what to do
  2. Uses a number from the facts
  3. Names the action or decision
  4. Short: one or two sentences, 40 words or fewer
  5. No hedging filler (maybe, I think, it seems)

Example: “Contribution falls 15 percent, from INR 60 to INR 51 an order, so raise the delivery fee by INR 9 before the rider pay rise lands.”
