Case practice · The opening
Hear the problem. Set up the decision.
Practice one small skill before a full case: recap the prompt, separate knowns from unknowns, then name your buckets before explaining them.
Understand the question first
Listening is optional. Use the text or ask a partner to read it aloud. No microphone is used.
Capture what you heard →A small scratch sheet
Write the decision in your own words. If something was not supplied, mark it unknown rather than filling it in.
← Revisit the promptName your buckets →Labels first, reasons second
Say your short bucket names as a list. Then explain how each helps answer the client’s question. Different structures can work.
← Check your captureCompare your setup →Compare, then try again
This is an example approach, not an automatic score or the only correct framework.
Reveal an example setup
Check units before calculating
If you misheard a fact, ask for it again, state the correction and continue. Bring this skill into a live partner case so you also practice responding to follow-up questions.
