A written consulting-style case interview that recomputes every number against a fixed answer key, then delivers a detailed arithmetic and reasoning report.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

Each case reportedly stores its figures, drivers, and acceptable tolerances before the candidate begins, allowing equations to be recomputed rather than judged by a language model’s agreement. The sample retail-banking report identifies a 100× margin error, compares a claimed $50M increase with the case key, and marks a 9% default-rate estimate against a 7.4% ground truth. The page says the session takes roughly 30–40 minutes and includes a full transcript annotation.
