Also uncover and consider possible solutions. - A draft case study analysis should include an introduction outlining the key problems and thesis, a background with relevant facts and issues, an evaluation of the case discussing what is and isn't working, and a proposed solution supported by evidence and recommendations for accomplishing it.
