Road to offer
A technically skilled developer can build a useful subset (guided cases, voice transcription, LLM debriefs, drills) in a few months, but reproducing the product's content volume, analytics, and brand-driven trust is expensive and time-consuming.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Student runs a guided case or voice case → system records answers and timers → backend scores and generates an AI debrief → store progress and recommend drills
What it still won’t have
- Large production case & drill bank and curated firm-specific content
- Polished UX and product polish (voice-mode reliability, debrief presentation)
- Proprietary platform analytics and published outcome signals
- Brand recognition and existing user base/trust
What remains hard
- Brand trust

Runnable build prompt
Build a self-hosted consulting case interview practice app using Next.js + React frontend, Postgres + Prisma backend on a single DigitalOcean droplet (or Render) with Stripe for subscriptions, OpenAI (or preferred LLM) for AI debriefs, and a speech-to-text API (OpenAI Whisper or AssemblyAI) for voice case transcription. In scope: guided case flow with step timing and state save, voice recording widget + upload + transcription pipeline, LLM-based debrief generation returning a 7-category scorecard and textual feedback, timed drill engine with instant scoring, user accounts and progress storage, subscription checkout and access control, admin import for case/drill content, basic analytics dashboard, input validation, error handling, and unit/integration tests for core flows. Out of scope: training proprietary models, large-scale multi-tenant infra, and a full 600+ drill content import (seed with 40 guided cases and 100 drills). Include logging, retry/backoff for external APIs, secure storage of recordings, and CI tests.

- Partly verdict base52

- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score59
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
