Auditing a Weak Case-Study Draft Against the Problem/Process/Decisions/Outcome Structure
A candidate's draft case-study script reads:
"The client wanted a redesign of their onboarding. I did user interviews, created personas, made journey maps, did wireframes, then high-fidelity mockups, then a prototype, then usability testing. Here's the final onboarding flow I designed. It was well received by the team."
- Identify which of the four sections (Problem, Process, Decisions and Tradeoffs, Outcome) are present, which are weak, and which are missing entirely.
- Rewrite the Problem statement to be strong, inventing plausible specific evidence.
- Rewrite one sentence to add a real Decisions and Tradeoffs moment — a specific choice, a rejected alternative, and the reasoning.
- Rewrite the Outcome statement to replace "well received by the team" with something stronger.
