Crafting Cases (YouTube channel)
by Bruno Nogueira and Julio Chan · Crafting Cases
Video channel from two ex-McKinsey and ex-Bain consultants teaching case structuring by building issue trees from first principles instead of memorising frameworks, with worked examples, diagnoses of common structuring errors, and full case walkthroughs. It teaches the generative skill (decomposing a problem into a custom logic tree) that the firms actually score, rather than the framework lists that MBB interviewers penalise.
