Case Study Rubric Checker

Case study rubric checker: from analysis to recommendation

Case studies are graded on the journey from analysis to recommendation. Rubrica checks whether your draft moves cleanly from the situation, through the analysis, to a defensible recommendation — and whether each step is supported.

What markers actually look for in a case study

  • A clear framing of the case: who, what, where, what's the central problem.

  • Application of relevant frameworks or theory — not just description of the situation.

  • Evidence drawn from the case itself, integrated with external sources where the rubric allows.

  • A recommendation that follows logically from the analysis and is feasible in context.

  • Awareness of stakeholders, ethics, and limitations of the recommendation.

Common rubric criteria for a case study

Most case study rubrics weight some version of these. Upload yours and Rubrica will score your draft against the exact criteria your marker uses.

Application of theory or frameworks

Strong case studies don't just name a framework (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, ethical decision-making models) — they apply it to the case and surface insight from it.

Depth of analysis

Surface-level analysis lists facts; depth analysis explains why those facts matter. Markers look for "so what" reasoning attached to every observation about the case.

Quality of recommendation

The recommendation must be specific, defensible, feasible, and clearly connected to the analysis. Generic advice ("the company should improve communication") loses marks.

Use of evidence from the case

Direct references to facts, numbers, and quotes from the case itself signal that you've read it carefully. Pure external evidence without case grounding loses marks.

How the case study rubric checker works

1. Upload

Drop in your assignment brief, the rubric your tutor will use, and your current case study draft. PDFs, Word files, and plain text all work.

2. Analyse

Rubrica reads all three together and scores your draft against every rubric criterion specific to the case study format.

3. Revise

You get a per-criterion score and a specific list of what to change before submission. Revisions on the same assignment are free.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for business, nursing, law, and social work case studies?

Yes. The format and weighting differ — nursing case studies emphasise care planning, law case studies emphasise legal reasoning, business emphasises strategic recommendation — but Rubrica reads your discipline's specific rubric and adapts.

What if the case study has multiple parts (e.g. analysis and reflection)?

Upload the full rubric and your full draft. Rubrica scores each section against the relevant criteria and shows you which section is strongest and which needs the most revision time.

Can it check my use of frameworks like SWOT or PESTEL?

Yes — but it checks how you apply the framework, not whether you used the right one. If your rubric specifies a framework, make sure your draft applies it explicitly.

Stop guessing. Score your case study against the rubric.
