People may practice the use of standard frameworks like STAR, profitability analyses, Porter’s Five Forces, or any other analytical tool generally referred to by recruiters in consulting or corporate sectors.

On top of that, detailed performance scores are there to help the candidates measure their creativity, communication, and critical thinking. They can keep a record of their past attempts and observe progress over time and Meanwhile, teachers have been able to achieve their grading work for student case submissions quicker through the platform. One of the professors, for instance, cut the time of his evaluation from ten minutes to approximately two minutes. 

Maryland Today. Up till now, STRATPATH AI has been instrumental for more than 200 students from a variety of courses. The team is aiming to increase the number of users to 1,000 by December 2025.
