Do you think it's normal to structure same type of cases in similar but different ways time to time i practice, covering necessary parts but covering them under different concept buckets...

Do you think it's a bad sign or sign of flexibiltiy which can be positive?

Hi,

Your question is confusing..

If you are talking about a real interview - you have just one case per interview and the interviewer will not see your flexibility anyway.

In addition, the Universe of the cases is much broader than you think and even similar case types will have different structures depending on the:

  • Objective
  • Additional objectives and limitations
  • Context
  • Industry

Best!
