For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we speak about mathematical precision.
As counter-intuitive as this sounds, mathematical precision in cases hurts most candidates. Many candidates focus heavily on being mathematically correct because it is far easier to see if your answer of $230MM is the same as the prescribed answer of $250MM.

They are not the same and candidates should focus on being analytic, as explained in this podcast.
