How the practice case works

The case is The Friday Brief. Carrow Health Group runs outpatient clinics, and you play the CEO's executive assistant. The suite's assistant feature wrote this week's brief: it sorted 150 messages, changed the calendar, drafted replies, and recommends auto-apply from Monday.

You check its twelve findings against the inbox, the calendar, the travel and the CEO's standing rules. Each gets one verdict: Supported, Contradicted, Not established or Needs specialist review. Then you write the corrected weekly brief, with the changes to keep and the ones to reverse. The answer key grades every finding.

By week 13

  • A task map of your own week, with a Hand off, Pair, Own or Cut call on every task.
  • A finished, checked weekly brief you can show as a portfolio piece.
  • Thirteen weekly sprints done, each with a kick-off and a review.
  • A wins log, a review summary and a plan for the talk with your executive.
  • Runway and adjacent moves to weigh, such as a chief of staff track, operations or project coordination, or office manager with budget authority.

The honest part

The two main research measures disagree on how exposed this role is, and the e-book shows both. This kit does not promise a job, a raise or a promotion, and no guarantee comes with it. The case is invented, so label your brief as simulated practice. Use the prompts in prompts.docx only in tools your company has approved, and strip names and private details first.

Free updates, for as long as you own the kit

AI tools change fast, so the kits do too. We update every kit at least once a month, and often more than once. Every update is free.

You get an email with a fresh download link each time a new version is ready.
