Not standalone questions but estimation is often required as part of the cases

Agree. To add on, it’s never like “estimate the number of chocolate bars sold each day in Chicago”. But your case math may indicate company X will need to sell Y more chocolate bars each day in Chicago to achieve their goals, and you will need to internally gauge whether that is reasonable to achieve, hard to achieve, or impossible to achieve. That gauge is most easily done if you can estimate well

Not often

Sorry, just wanted to clarify.
I meant, does McKinsey ask market-sizing questions?

Thank you:)
