BCG Casey Simulator

A sequential case with live exhibits. Commit to each answer and the case moves on. No going back.

The brief

UrbanBrew, a 140-store regional coffee chain, saw EBITDA fall from $24M to $12M in 2024 even though revenue grew from $225M to $240M. The CEO wants to know why, and what to do about it in the next two quarters. You'll pick a structure for the CEO, read the category and EBITDA-bridge exhibits, run the recovery math, make a prioritization call, brainstorm root causes, and deliver a final recommendation.

  • 1The full case runs 6 questions in about 25 minutes. The first 2 are free and need no account.
  • 2It is forward-only. Commit to an answer and the case moves on, exactly like the real chatbot.
  • 3Each question carries a target time. Going over is not penalised, but it is recorded.

Casey is one of two things BCG sends before an interview. The other is the CCA — see the CCA simulator and how both are used in BCG screening.
