Interesting which firm is doing this? To answer your question, watch youtube videos on structuring drills, chart/graph interpretation, market sizing, and concluding/delivery of the final recommendation.

CraftingCases.com has a Youtube with these videos and free resources on their website to help you. Probably look at Yale SOM Consulting Club videos too
