Yes. CaseXcel is in a free public beta while we finalize the business entity. Every feature on the pricing page is unlocked - no paid plans during beta, no credit card required.

Every beta user gets 3 AI Interviewer sessions per month. The quota resets on the 1st of each calendar month. Practice cases, case scoring, progress tracking, and the readiness passport are unlimited.

Your account, practice history, readiness score, and all progress data stay with you. When paid tiers launch, we'll give beta users a grace period and announce the transition well in advance. Nothing is wiped.

When our AI provider is overloaded or our daily usage cap is reached, we fall back to rule-based scoring and templated coaching instead of failing outright. You still get a score and feedback - it's just less nuanced than the full AI response. Your quota isn't charged for fallback sessions.

A multi-turn mock interview powered by Claude. It plays one of six persona archetypes (MBB Partner, Tier 2 Strategy, Big 4 Senior Manager, Analytics Interviewer, Senior Hiring Manager, FAANG Hiring Manager), probes your answers, and debriefs you at the end with structure, quant, and communication scores.

Around 15–25 minutes depending on how deep the interviewer probes. You can end a session any time; your partial transcript is saved.

Yes - when you start a case, pick the persona that matches your target firm. The default is inferred from your profile's target firm setting.

Each AI turn typically takes 2–5 seconds. If it's been more than 30 seconds, refresh the page - your session state is saved and you can resume from where you left off. If the problem persists, contact us.

Structure (0-100) - how cleanly you organized your thinking, used frameworks, and broke down the problem. Quantitative - how often and how well you used numbers, estimates, and calculations. Communication - pacing, clarity, and how well you explained your reasoning. Your overall score is a weighted average (40/30/30).

The scorer looks for explicit numbers, units, and estimation language in your response. If you did the math in your head without typing it out, the scorer can't see it. Next time, write out your assumptions and the rough numbers - even "call it 10M users × $50 ARPU = $500M revenue" counts.

A single 0–100 number that aggregates your last ~10 cases across all three dimensions. It's your best signal of interview-day readiness. Target 75+ before sitting a real interview.

Yes - the Progress page shows your score trend over time, your weakest dimension, and your phase status. Use that to pick your next practice case.
