Seven frameworks. Learn them cold. Use them sharp.
Every consulting interview runs on frameworks. They’re not magic — just structured ways to think through complex problems without missing anything important. Internalize why each one works, and you can adapt on the fly.
Each framework, fully explained.
Structure, worked example with real numbers, common mistakes, and practice prompts.
Profitability
Revenue and cost trees, broken down to the smallest moveable lever without losing MECE.
Market Entry
Size the prize, assess fit, pick a mode of entry, and pressure-test the path to scale.
M&A / Investment
Synergy logic, valuation sanity checks, and the integration risks partners actually grill you on.
Pricing Strategy
Cost-plus, competitor-anchored, value-based: when each applies and the math behind it.
Operations & Cost Reduction
Decompose the cost base, diagnose by function, and sequence the fix without resorting to across-the-board cuts.
Growth Strategy (Ansoff)
The 2×2 nobody uses right. Market penetration, development, product, diversification, with real triggers.
Market Sizing
Estimate any number from first principles: top-down, bottom-up, and the sanity check that saves you.

Reading frameworks gets you halfway. The other half is reps — guided cases that build the muscle memory interviews demand.
