The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Should FarmDrop pivot to a B2B model supplying offices, or persevere with its D2C subscription model by improving retention?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply entrepreneurial decision-making frameworks (pivot vs. persevere)
- Analyze unit economics to evaluate venture viability
- Develop a business model canvas for a new venture direction
- Work collaboratively to synthesize data and make a strategic recommendation
