CoachNed Opens AI Consulting Interview Practice to Candidates, First Scored Case Free

New platform uses live voice cases and seven-dimension debriefs so applicants can rehearse the room before first-round interviews.

EASTVALE, CA, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CoachNed today opened a public platform for consulting interview prep built around one interviewer, live voice cases, and a scored debrief after every run. The first scored case is free and does not require a card.

Consulting first rounds still fail on the same few things: a weak structure, messy math, a missed exhibit, and a close that sounds like a student instead of a colleague. Most candidates bounce between PDFs, leaked cases, and expensive hourly coaches. CoachNed is built as the volume layer in between. A candidate sits a full case out loud, gets seven scores with the leak named, then drills that leak instead of sitting another unfocused case.

The library now includes 64 cases and more than 550 drills, plus original practice for the screens that happen before anyone sits across a table: BCG-style Casey and CCA, McKinsey Solve-style games, Bain SOVA, and PEI-style behavioral. An AI literacy module was added after firms began asking generalist candidates how models actually work, not only those applying to specialist digital teams.

The company says more than 2,100 candidates have used the product and more than 30,000 sessions have been run. Monthly access starts at $49. A 90-day sprint is $120. Annual access is $249. Starter credit packs remain available for people who do not want a subscription.

"The first interview is where offers die, and most people walk in having never said a case out loud," said Ned Fox, founder of CoachNed. "I wanted the first-interview version of myself to have a ruthless, patient interviewer on demand. Sit the case. Read the debrief. Drill the leak. Then go do it with a human."

CoachNed is independent practice software. It is not affiliated with McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte, or any other firm named on the site for interview-style practice. The cases are AI-simulated.
