What your students see

Decisions arrive prefilled

Each field starts from last quarter's decision, with last quarter's figure shown underneath. A team that's happy can submit in minutes, and a team that wants to dig in has the full controls.

The instructor chooses which decisions open when. In this course, Quarter 4 opens only forecasting and sourcing. Pricing, marketing, production, quality and logistics open later, so students meet one new lever at a time.

The point for your course

The operating side is simple on purpose. The effort goes into reading what each decision did to the statements.
