Changing your recommendation is fine when the evidence changes. In fact, updating your view can show good judgment if you explain clearly what new information caused the shift.

The important distinction is between changing because of evidence and changing because you feel uncertain. Anchor the final recommendation in the strongest facts from the case and name the specific insight that changed your conclusion.

A concise synthesis could say, "I initially favored expansion, but the capacity data changes my view because the required investment would erase the near-term return." That makes the evolution logical rather than inconsistent.

Do not defend an old answer just for consistency. Be consistent with the evidence. For more on final recommendations, see the case interview guide.

Updating the answer is better than forcing the original hypothesis after the data changed.
