Frequently asked questions

A written case interview you take on your own, followed by a report that recomputes every number you said and compares it against the case’s fixed answer key.

Backsolved opens to its first users in September 2026. The case engine, the scoring and the reports are built and tested; accounts and payment are being finished now. Email [email protected] to be told the day the free case opens.

About 30 to 40 minutes if you work straight through. You can leave and come back — the session waits for you.

Typed. Speaking a case aloud is a real skill and this is not the tool for it; this is for the reasoning and the numbers.

Profitability diagnostics, market entry, and M&A valuation to begin with, each with a distinct interviewer style, and more being added. Every case has its own written ground truth and its own tolerance-bounded figures.

Yes, as often as you like while your access is live. The answer key does not move between attempts, so a second run is a fair comparison against the first.

Equations you typed are recomputed. Figures you cited are compared to the case’s key within a per-figure tolerance. Values you gave twice with different numbers are flagged against each other. All three are done by ordinary arithmetic in code, not by a language model.

Playing the interviewer, and writing the qualitative commentary on your structure, intuition and synthesis. It is told your measured results rather than asked to work them out. We are explicit about this split because it is the whole reason to use this rather than a chatbot.

Tell us. Send the case name and the line to [email protected]. Number extraction from free-typed English is a best-effort process and there are phrasings it will read incorrectly. We fix the ones we can reproduce and we would rather hear about it than not.

No. Nothing can, and a tool that claims to is lying to you. It will tell you whether your arithmetic held up, which drivers you missed, and where your reasoning drifted — which are things you can actually act on before the round that counts.
