How to Ace the 1-Minute Casey Video Recommendation
The Casey chatbot ends with a 60-second recorded recommendation. Here is how to structure it.
The format
After the question sequence, Casey gives you a final business prompt and asks for a 1-minute spoken recommendation. You typically get 60 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to record. The recording auto-stops.
The structure that wins
Use a tight three-part frame:
- Recommendation (10s). State the answer in one sentence. "I recommend the client enter the German market via acquisition."
- Two or three reasons (35s). Each backed by a number from the case exhibits.
- Risks + next step (15s). Name the biggest risk and the immediate next step to validate it.
Delivery rules
- Look at the camera, not your notes.
- Speak at moderate pace — full sentences, no fillers.
- Do not narrate ("So basically what I would say is..."). Just say it.
- Use the 60s prep to write three bullet points, nothing more.
Practice routine
Record yourself answering 10 different prompts on your phone with a hard 60s timer. Watch them back. You will improve fast.
