Start with the question you heard
The case hub brings prompt listening, framework setup, business vocabulary, scratch-sheet math and focused practice into separate guides.
Harper · October 16, 2026 update
A clearer path from case prompt to practice.
Choose the part of casing you want to work on, explore a worked example, then try a focused exercise. The case hub, reference library and practice pages now have distinct jobs.
Explore the case hub →
Understand the business before choosing a tool
The library connects business problems, industry terminology and company examples. Open an explanation when you need it, then follow the practice handoff into Case Studio.
Work through a market-entry decision
Use the applied examples to distinguish the reachable market, barriers and entry modes. The break-even example connects the calculation to a daily operating target.
Choose a focused practice guide
- Hear and clarify
- Listening and clarifying questions help separate the objective from supporting detail.
- Set up and calculate
- Frameworks show how to adapt a structure; Numbers brings the setup onto a scratch sheet.
- Name and rehearse
- Look up business words, then choose a focused drill.
- Access and limits
- These guides are public. Exercises are practice material, not employer assessments. Private club materials remain separate; a Harper account does not grant access to them.

Recruiting · Turn preparation into practice
More than another folder of links.
Move from exploring a path to trying the work. Consulting resources, worked cases and guided assessment practice sit alongside preparation for conversations and interviews.
Consulting practice
Understand the answer and the reasoning.
Try a small problem, inspect the reasoning and take the same approach into a fuller case.
Work through a case →Try a 30-second example
Prices rise 10%. Volume falls 10%.
What happens to revenue?
Starting revenue100× 1.10 price × 0.90 volume
Reveal the reasoning
99 Revenue falls 1%.
The higher price applies only to the units still sold. The changes multiply; they do not cancel.
Profit would require cost information.
Try it: work a case, then inspect the reasoning
Follow the worked examples and practice questions. Use the explanations to check how you reached an answer and what to work on next.
Consulting prep in one place
Find coffee-chat preparation, the consulting tips companion and original digital-assessment exercises. These are practice materials, not actual firm tests or a promise of interview outcomes.
Follow up with something specific
Thank-you examples cover consulting and tech coffee chats, interviews, speakers, introductions and case partners. Preview why each works, then adapt the details in your own draft.
And when you just need that link
