The final-round case from the first minute to the recommendation: structure, quick math, reading the data, a full worked deal, integration, and how to critique a deal that already happened.

1The shape of the caseA corp dev case is one question, should we do this deal, answered in four parts. The structure is simple; what interviewers watch is whether you reach a decision.8 min
2Case math in your headProSix calculations carry most cases: multiples, premiums, payback, growth, accretion by yield, and percent changes. Practice them until they are boring.9 min
3Reading the target one-pagerProCases often hand you a page of numbers. Read it for five things in the same order every time, and say what each one means for the deal.9 min

4A full worked caseProOne case from start to finish, with the numbers: a snacks company deciding whether to buy a smaller rival at the seller's asking price.13 min
5Integration inside the caseProA case that ends at the price misses half the job. Strong candidates name what has to go right after closing and put a cost on it.10 min
6Deal critique and the recommendationProInterviewers ask you to judge a deal that already happened. A good critique separates a bad decision from bad luck and ends with what you would have done differently.10 min
