Simulations
Job simulations you play with your class or on your own: Business Analytics — Master, Startup Lab, Analyst Day, DevOps/Cloud Engineer Simulation, Legal Day…
- Business Analytics — Master (Business analytics, instructor-led) — EverydayCart: Your team runs a retailer for two weeks, using Excel, SQL, Python and Power BI to decide prices, stock and deals with rival teams. 2 weeks, 2–8 teams.
- Startup Lab (Entrepreneurship, self-serve) — Your own startup: Run your real startup like an accelerator: an AI Program Director, daily briefs, stand-ups, board meetings with AI investors and a Demo Day. Interview customers, ship an MVP and win a first paying customer, alone or with up to four co-founders. 90 days, self-paced, Team of 1–5.
- Analyst Day (Business analytics, self-serve) — A company generated for your play: Spend 09:00 to 18:00 as a data analyst: an AI manager, CFO and stakeholders send work, meetings and decisions. Answer with SQL, Excel, Python, Power BI, Word and PowerPoint on data with planted issues, then get a full debrief. One workday (about 3 hours), Solo.
- DevOps/Cloud Engineer Simulation (Cloud & DevOps, self-serve) — Kestrel Pay, a fintech: Be the DevOps/cloud engineer: AI colleagues page you, ask for changes and review your work while you find and fix real misconfigurations in a sandbox in your own AWS, GCP or Azure account. 1-day, 7-day or 30-day plays, verified by read-only checks. 1, 7 or 30 game days, Solo.
- Legal Day (India) (Law, self-serve) — A law firm matter generated for your play: Legal Day puts you in a Mumbai law firm for one simulated working day, 09:30 to 18:30. The senior partner allocates the matter, the client calls with new facts, opposing counsel sends a notice, the paralegal drops documents in your inbox and a judge asks you pointed questions at a virtual court mention. You run the conflict check, compute limitation and statutory deadlines, draft and redline in a Word editor, research from the firm's library and advise the client. Every matter is generated for your play with issues planted in its documents, so every deadline and every planted clause has a right answer. One working day (about 3 hours), Solo or a team of up to 3.
- Finance Day (Finance, self-serve) — A company generated for your play, with a full year of books: Finance Day puts you in the finance team of a company generated for your play: an FMCG distributor, a B2B SaaS business, a multi-specialty hospital, a D2C brand or an auto-parts maker, with a full year of books behind it. As the FP&A analyst you build the year-end variance report in an in-browser Excel, find out from the department heads why the numbers moved, rebuild next year's forecast after the biggest customer leaves, and put three slides in front of the board, while the CFO asks you to make the forecast look better than it is. As the accountant you close March, the last month of the year, in the Ledger, Bartman's practice accounting book: GST and TDS on the last bills, the year-end entries, the bank and supplier reconciliations and the lock, while the CFO asks you to hold a bill back. Every company carries planted issues in its own ledger, so every number has a right answer. One working day (about 3 hours), Solo or a team of up to 3.
- Developer Day (Software development, self-serve) — A product team and its codebase: Fix bugs, build a feature and speed up a slow endpoint in a real-looking codebase, using git, pull requests and code review, with AI teammates. Ship a bug and it comes back as an incident. Python, TypeScript or Java. One working day (about 3 hours), Solo or a team of up to 3.
- Bootcamp CTF (Cybersecurity, self-serve) — A capture-the-flag arena: 25 challenges on a jeopardy board — packet captures, encodings, phishing-free email headers, firewall rules, SOC logs, evidence hashing, CVSS and risk maths, plus web, Linux, Python and defensive memory-safety code review. Your own flags, 3 tries each. About 6 hours, at your pace, Solo or a team of up to 3.
