What Goodfit does for case rounds and analyst retention
Goodfit runs a first case round with every applicant
The AI sets a short business problem and asks follow-up questions about the numbers. Consultants spend their interview hours on candidates who can break a problem into parts.
Case round · Coffee chain profit drop
Hannah Weiss · Business Analyst
Live transcript
Sales held steady but profit fell 15%. Where do you look first?
Costs. I would split them into beans, labor and rent, then see which grew faster than sales.
Follow-up
Labor costs grew 20%. What would you ask the client next?
Send a partner one link that shows why someone was cut
Each case answer gets a score on your rubric, with the candidate’s quote and the time in the recording. When a partner asks about a referral, you send that page.

New analysts practice presenting to a doubtful client
In AI roleplay, a client pushes back on the analyst’s findings. Goodfit scores every attempt on leading with the answer, handling pushback and using the numbers. You see scores rise before a partner or client hears them.

Exit calls show which managers analysts leave
Each leaving analyst gets a confidential call about why they are going. HR leadership sees the reasons ranked for the firm and for each engagement manager. Managers never see a named analyst’s answers.

How Springworks replaced its first interview rounds
Springworks“Earlier we had to review every assignment, get on screening calls, and then coordinate two more panel rounds. Now the AI handles that first layer for us. The portal instantly shows whether a candidate is a good fit or not, and we can directly schedule the final interview the next day.”
