Great answers!
Here is the high-level technique you should focus on
1 read the exhibit with the interviewer and ask clarifying questions (e.g., if a data label is missing or something doesn't make sense), without interpreting it
2 take time (60-90s)
3 come up with 2-4 self-standing insights and present them to the interviewer. Each insight should start from a data point, interpret it and then end on a so what, meaning the implication of your data interpretation (could be a recommendation, an emerging hypothesis or next steps that would bring you closer to formulating a hypothesis)
4 at the end, ideally, take a step back try to connect the dots between these different insights and communicate what does all of this say about the client and their situation
If you're looking to perfect this, reach out. It's a critical component of the case interview, and if executed well, not only does it give you an edge as a candidate, but also sets you up to be a successful consultant.
Best,
