Students run a company for twelve fiscal years against calibrated rivals. Every formula is published. Every claim is tested. When they lose share, the reason is a row in a table, not a mystery.
Demand weights, cost curves, scoring ladders — printed inside the game, live from the engine's own parameters. Students optimize against rules they can read, and grade disputes end in arithmetic.
READ THE METHOD →Before any release, five rival strategies play sixty seeded seasons and each must win its share. A red team of AI adversaries attacks the economy for exploits. The results are published, not promised.
SEE THE GATE RESULTS →The built-in coach asks questions instead of answering them — and every transcript is visible to the instructor. Help that teaches, with an audit trail.
HOW INSTRUCTORS USE IT →Confirmed AI-assisted misconduct in higher education has roughly tripled in two years, and research keeps finding that "authentic assessment" alone doesn't stop it. Our answer is structural, not hopeful: exams run in per-student worlds with engine-verified questions, so there is no answer key to share — and the AI coach's every conversation is visible to the instructor, so help is a teaching record instead of a loophole.
Actual engine output for one midsize model in one seeded world — the same chart students see before locking every pricing decision. The hump is where the margin lives. The cliff past the published ceiling is where buyers stop shopping you. There is a best price inside every band; finding it is the game.
Thesis, plants, doctrine, hires, and a raise. The wizard writes your S-1 and the analysts write your history.
Nine decision areas a year, each with engine-computed charts showing the projected effect before you commit.
The year runs for everyone at once: a staged reveal, an analyst recap, and a factor-by-factor answer to "why did I lose share?"
Five published measures, targets known in advance, points shown to the decimal.
Six EV makers, twelve years, from your Year 6 IPO to the final scoreboard. Batteries, tariffs, price wars, union talks, and a used market that remembers what you built.
"The grading is unusually transparent. There is no partial credit for stories; the arithmetic is the story." · Haverford & Locke, initiating coverage
Six airlines. Fuel hedges, seats that spoil the night the plane takes off, alliances, groundings, and an emissions bill that grows every year.
