📝

Multiple-Choice Exams

Memorization-based, fails to measure real job performance. Decision-making skills go untested.

🏢

Traditional Case Studies

Time-consuming, expensive, and hard to scale. Takes days to weeks, results are subjective.

📊

Superficial Metrics

Completion rates and quiz scores don't reflect true competency or workplace readiness.

Solution

What Is an Inbox Simulation?

Participants are immersed in a realistic business email inbox. They read emails from different characters, make decisions under time pressure. Each choice triggers new emails, affects skill scores, and generates instant messages.

  • Story-driven, interactive scenarios
  • Completed in 15–60 minutes
  • Every decision is measurable and scorable
  • Scientifically validated performance predictor
  • Adaptive difficulty — BRANCHING & IRT support

🎯 Trigger System

Each response triggers a chain of events: sends new emails, generates instant messages, applies scores, or provides immediate feedback. Branching scenarios ensure every participant has a unique experience.

⏱️ Simulated Time

Uses simulated time, not real-time. Emails appear at their scheduled time. A red pulse warning activates in the last 5 minutes. The simulation auto-terminates when time expires.
