What is this?

I was curious to know how many times "case" and related concepts are mentioned within Harvard Business School's youtube videos. I was trying to prove a point that the school is almost comically insufferable about how great case-based discussions are. The script is quick and messy.

Results

These are really imperfect because transcripts through this method aren't always accurate, a number of videos had no transcripts, and a great number of them were missing significant portions of the content of the video. And yet.. almost 1 and a half times a video over the past ~16 years :sweat-smile:
