I like this case interview, haven't seen any example with this kind fast pace and high pressure. I do think Pascal did a good job, especially picking up confidence quickly after lost during calculation phase. Although he speak fast, he do articulate hypothesis and structure clearly.

Hey Management Consulted Team, great work with the interviews. However, it would be helpful if you could rate this interview on a scale of 10, and give it a pass / fail rating so that we know if such an interview is acceptable at a firm such as BCG or not. Also, I have a few questions here: 1. Why are they calculating "cumulative revenue"? Growth is always calculated on annual revenues so don't even understand the logic of cumulative revenue. The revenue would shoot up for 1 year where I get all the license fee, however, thereafter it will drastically fall and year 5 or 10 revenue is old model is significant higher than the new model 2. They didn't account for 4% growth in the market, which should be a part of old model 3. There was never a discussion on annual growth in the whole interview. Why didn't the interviewer push the discussion in that direction?

yeah, the case is weird. The cumulative revenue doesnt make sense at all?

The math was totally wrong IMO, correct me if I’m wrong please. The first year we expect a total of 50 million. 10mill from the existing 5 clients that don’t switch and 40 mill from the 10 clients adopting the new model paying an upfront of 4 million. I don’t expect that they would pay a maintenance fee in the first year as the software was just installed, therefore, going forward we would be expecting a total annual revenue of 14m under the new model. 10m from the 5 clients using the old model and 4m from 400k subscription fees from 10 clients in the new model. In year 3 I expect the cumulative revenue to be 78mil : 50 from first year, 14 from the second and another 14 from the third year. The 5th year should be 106 million following the same analogy and the 10th year should be 176 million. I would appreciate a response please

Why doesn't she simply ask him to calculate the cumulative revenue? Feel like her not being explicit threw him off. He's not really wrong to cite annual figures given the client's objective of annual revenue growth. And is it normal not to give any time to prep the final recommendation? I found the interviewer a little harsh in this case.

he does give hypotheses after most of his issues though.. do you need an overarching hypothesis for the whole framework?
