Distill for MBA Case Studies
Distill turns a long case study into a clear summary, the key facts and decisions, and a plain-English explanation in seconds — so you walk into class with the situation, the protagonist's decision, and the relevant numbers already in hand, ready to actually discuss it.
Cases are long on purpose
A case buries the decision inside pages of context, exhibits, and backstory — that's the point, and it's also why prepping three a night is brutal. The skill is separating the decision and the facts that bear on it from the surrounding narrative, fast.
Paste the case and Distill gives you the summary, the key facts and the decision on the table, and a plain-English read of any dense exhibit or passage.
Preparation, not a substitute for thinking
The grade comes from your analysis and your stance in the discussion — Distill can't and shouldn't do that part. What it does is get you to the starting line faster, so your prep time goes into forming a view and pressure-testing it, not into locating the basic facts. Read the case; let Distill make the read efficient.
Frequently asked questions
Can Distill summarize a business case study?
Yes. Paste the case and get a summary, the key facts and the decision at issue, and a plain-English explanation of dense sections — so you can focus prep on forming your analysis.
Will it do my analysis for me?
No, and it shouldn't — the analysis is what's graded and what you're there to learn. It handles the mechanical read so your time goes to thinking, not locating facts.
Does it handle exhibits and financials?
It explains dense passages and tables in plain English to orient you. Verify the specific numbers against the case before you build on them.
Is there a free version?
Yes, Distill is free to start, with Pro for higher limits during heavy case loads.
The slow part of an MBA isn't the thinking — it's reading three long cases a night to find the decision in each. Distill does it in seconds — paste a chapter, case, transcript, or PDF and get the summary, key ideas, or a plain-English explanation. Free to start.
