Case Interview Frameworks for Every Case Type: The Framework Library
One whole-business tree, tailored for eight case types and hybrids, each with what the client is deciding, the branches kept, where to start and the question the case turns on.
The whole tree, with every option on it.
- Share of revenue from each
This page is the full index behind Level 2, Frameworks: the whole tree once, then the branches that light up for each case type and for hybrids.
Use it to check a framework, never to recite one: the keep-or-cut test still decides what survives for this client.

Deciding: why profit fell (or sits below target), and what to do about it.
Kept: revenue by product (price, quantity, mix) · cost (variable per unit, the fixed lines) · the market as one check.
Start: where the change is; usually revenue.
Turns on: industry problem or company problem? Operations is where the fix comes from, not a branch.
Example: a chain of twelve laundromats with two years of falling profit.
