The path to the offer
One interviewer. Every room that stands between you and the job.
Ned looks the same on the live case, the debrief, the drill, and the screens. That is the point. You stop switching tools and start getting better.
01
Sit the live case
UrbanBrew. About 18 minutes. He asks out loud. You answer out loud. This is the room, not a worksheet with a mic.
Start the free case →
02
Read the debrief
Seven scores. The leak named. Quotes from what you said. Then one drill — not another full case.
See a guided run →
03
Drill what leaked
Structure, math, exhibits, sizing, synthesis. Compare to the model as often as you want. Official grades for three days on free.
Open the drill rooms →
04
Clear the screens
Casey, CCA, Sea Wolf, Red Rock, SOVA, PEI. The tests that happen before anyone sits you across a table.

How you practice
Pick the room that matches how ready you are
One scored case is included. Live if you want the real pressure. Guided if you want hints. Learning if you have never cased. The EV Charging walkthrough is free and does not spend the credit. Never sat a case? The five steps, with GreenBite said out loud, are on how to do a case interview.
Live interview
Recommended. Ned asks. You answer out loud. Then the 7-score debrief.
Guided
Safest first rep. Typed, hints on every turn, same debrief after.
Learning
Six checkpoints on GreenBite before he throws you into the case.

Before anyone interviews you
Beat the online assessments
A lot of BCG processes run CCA and Casey before a live case. McKinsey still screens with Solve-style games. Start those without spending your case credit.

They will ask how the model works
McKinsey, BCG, and Bain now test AI literacy in generalist cases — not only at QuantumBlack, BCG X, or Vector. Twelve minutes on how machine learning actually works. Then one original case.

Meet Ned
A partner who still remembers freezing in question one
Ned’s first consulting interview was a humiliation in slow motion: a market-size he had never practiced, a profitability exhibit that hid the real driver in the footnote, and a fit question he answered like a student instead of a colleague. He still got the offer. He never forgot the feeling.
As a partner he is mostly a figurehead with a dinner reservation. He wows clients at fine-dining tables after dark — the origination, the reassurance, the bottle that says the relationship is safe. The daytime calendar looks full and is not. CoachNed is what he built with the leftover hours.
He wanted the first-interview version of himself to have a ruthless, patient interviewer on demand: AI-simulated cases, scored debriefs, and course material that names the next rep. Not a marketplace of human coaches. Ned, on tap, until the room feels familiar.
The full storyCoachNed is Ned’s independent project. It is not affiliated with Deloitte, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or any other firm named here for interview-style practice. The cases on this site are AI-simulated.

Still on the fence?
Is this enough to replace a private case coach?
No. Use CoachNed for volume: spoken cases, scored debriefs, and drills on the leak. Use a case buddy so your answers survive an unpredictable human. If you have real MBB interviews, one or two excellent former-interviewer sessions still beat another month of only AI. Do not optimize for a 7/7 here. Optimize for the room.
Which plan should I choose if interviews are coming soon?
Monthly Pro at $49/mo if you only need a few weeks of cases. The 90-Day Sprint at $120 is the recruiting-season default (and includes Casey). Annual Pro at $249 is the better buy if you are recruiting across cycles.
Why not just buy one or two live coaching calls?
Do both, in that order. Learn the mechanics here for $49 a month, then spend $200–$400 on one or two strong human sessions to catch what the AI will miss: presence, hint-taking, whether you sound like someone they would put in front of a CEO. Twenty mediocre AI cases do not beat one excellent diagnosis — and one coaching hour does not beat daily reps.
Will I know what to practice next, or am I on my own?
Every debrief names what broke down, maps it to a drill, and can hand the thread to Ned so the next rep is specific.
Does unlimited really include cases, drills, voice, and chat with Ned?
Yes. Monthly, 90-Day Sprint, and Annual include unlimited full cases, unlimited drills, unlimited chat with Ned, voice mode, AI debriefs, free resources, and Learning Mode. BCG Casey’s 10-case library comes with Sprint and Annual, not Monthly. If you want it on Monthly, grab the $69 Casey Pack.
What if I only want to test it before committing?
A free account includes a full first case with a scored debrief, no card. There is also a $20 starter bundle (5 case credits) and a $29 drill pack. Monthly is cancel-anytime, with a 7-day refund if you have completed fewer than 2 full cases and fewer than 10 drills.
Is this built for McKinsey, BCG, and Bain-style prep?
Yes. Structuring, business judgment, quant, exhibits, synthesis, and client communication, plus original practice for Casey, CCA, McKinsey Solve games, and Bain SOVA. CoachNed is independent and unaffiliated with those firms, and it is not a Deloitte product.
Can I cancel if I choose Monthly?
Yes, from Settings or the Stripe billing portal. Access continues through the end of the period. Sprint is the lower-commitment full-access option for one recruiting season.
Why does this cost less than $2/day?
A McKinsey Business Analyst year-1 package is typically $130k+ total comp. Three months of Sprint is $120, well under $2/day, and a rounding error versus one coaching hour.
Will my practice history and context carry forward?
Yes. History, scores, debriefs, and your editable notes for Ned stay on the account so recommendations reflect what you have already done.
