Cracking the case doesn’t mean much, most candidates do. In fact I’ve interviewed candidates who didn’t crack it that I passed along. The focus is more on how you approach and we look holistically
If your structure doesn’t break down the problem into the logical drivers on a granular enough level, then you’ll be viewed as having “weak problem solving”. We are testing skills that are relevant to the job, not just if you can crack the case. Of my 7 McKinsey interviews, I only felt that we got to the end of the case twice.

Yeah especially for McK where the interview is very modular, we’re testing for specific skills. If your structure is poor or very generic you likely won’t pass.
