Use this scorecard after practice cases to evaluate performance consistently. Rate each dimension from 1 to 5: 1 = major weakness, 3 = acceptable, and 5 = consistently strong.
Evaluation Dimensions
- Problem Definition: Clarifies the objective, scope, constraints, and success criteria.
- Structure: Creates a logical, tailored, and reasonably complete approach.
- Prioritization: Focuses first on the issues most likely to affect the answer.
- Quantitative Analysis: Sets up calculations correctly, computes accurately, tracks units, and interprets results.
- Exhibit Interpretation: Identifies the headline, supporting evidence, and business implication.
- Business Judgment: Connects analysis to customers, competition, economics, feasibility, and risk.
- Creativity: Generates structured, relevant, and non-obvious ideas when appropriate.
- Synthesis: Connects findings into clear conclusions and logical next steps.
- Communication: Communicates concisely, clearly, and answer-first.
- Final Recommendation: Provides a direct recommendation supported by evidence, risks, and next steps.
Overall score: Add the ten ratings for a total out of 50, but focus more on recurring weaknesses than the total itself.
Final principle: Use the scorecard to identify patterns across multiple cases and convert low-scoring dimensions into targeted drills.
