What topper case studies look like
What gets checked
- Stakeholders named, with what each stands to lose.
- Ethical issues as values in tension, not a list of words.
- Options, at least three, each with merits and demerits.
- Your choice, justified, and what you would do first.
- Length close to the 310 words toppers write.
How toppers built theirs
Opens by naming the case a daily Faustian bargain facing women at work, lists Karan's ethical dilemmas as nine numbered points, then works through three options for part (b) each laid out as a merit/demerit table, picks a course of action via a yes/no flowchart, and closes part (c) with a bracketed list of XYZ Corp's responsibilities and a Rig Veda line on respecting women.

Opens by naming the case a persistent development-versus-conservation dilemma, lists eight numbered ethical dilemmas for part (a), evaluates three alternatives to the metro depot for part (b) each in a merit/demerit table before a course-of-action versus why table, and closes part (c) with a bracketed list of approaches to balance urban development with environmental conservation, ending on a Rig Veda and Bible line about trusteeship of the environment.

Opens by tying the case to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine controversy and naming it a capitalism issue of beating others at what cost, maps stakeholders in a radiating diagram for part (a), lists nine numbered ethical issues for part (b), and closes part (c) with two options each in a merit/demerit table, a mixed option chosen with four supporting points, and a closing why with three points on convergence of interests.
