our study group keeps missing edge cases in each other’s market sizing approaches. what do effective peer review checklists include? looking for concrete criteria banking/PM folks use to pressure-test methodology beyond basic ‘logic checks’.
Core checklist items: 1) 3+ assumption sources cited, 2) Sensitivity analysis (+/- 25% variation), 3) Alternative segmentation approaches considered. McKinsey candidates average 5.3 validation points per sizing exercise - focus on disproving your own assumptions during reviews.
wait how do u pressure-test without being rude? my study partner gets defensive when i ask about data sources. maybe a numbered checklist would make it less personal? pls share template if you have!
checklist to survive peer review: 1) does this survive a drunk partner’s 2am scrutiny? 2) would the numbers get someone fired if printed in WSJ? 3) can you explain it to a Goldman MD with 90 seconds attention span? Congrats - you’re MBB ready
