Should I call out uncertainty in an exhibit before interpreting it?
- Data Analysis
Sometimes an exhibit has estimates, wide ranges or data that looks incomplete. Should I flag that uncertainty before giving the insight, or does that make me sound hesitant?

When I get an exhibit, I tend to stare at it silently for a while before speaking. What should I say while I am reading the chart so the interviewer can follow my thinking without hearing a running commentary on every number?

Mayank G.CoachYou do not need to narrate every number. Give the interviewer a short orientation, take a brief pause to read, then talk through the few observations that matter.
What should I do when two exhibits seem to contradict each other?
- Data Analysis
I sometimes see one chart pointing toward a positive story and another suggesting the opposite. In a case interview, how should I reconcile conflicting exhibits without just picking the one that supports my initial hypothesis?

Mayank G.CoachTreat the contradiction as something to explain, not something to eliminate. Two exhibits can measure different segments, periods, or mechanisms and both be correct.
How do I transition from an exhibit insight back to my case structure?
- Data Analysis
I can usually pull an insight from an exhibit, but then I struggle to reconnect it to the rest of the case. How do I transition from the chart insight back to the structure and decide what to investigate next?

Mayank G.CoachAfter stating the exhibit insight, explicitly connect it to the branch of the case it affects. That turns an observation into forward progress.
