Synthesis and the final recommendation
Nearly every case ends with "so what should the client do?" The answer has a fixed shape — conclusion first, then exactly three reasons, then risks and next steps as an add-on — and the most common way to fail it is to give four reasons, or to lead with the reasoning and make the interviewer wait for the point.
What you'll be able to do
- Deliver a recommendation conclusion-first, in the four-beat structure practitioners actually teach
- Hold yourself to three reasons and know why a fourth weakens the answer
- Attach risks and next steps as an add-on rather than letting them replace a reason
- Synthesise mid-case, at the end of each exhibit, so the final recommendation assembles itself

This walkthrough runs about 22 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
