What you see

Set it up once, and it runs itself

Setup is six short steps: dates, which decisions open in which quarter, the starting accounting methods, co-instructors, and whether to add the evaluation stage.

Each quarter then closes on its own at its deadline. Results are calculated, the next quarter opens, and a team that didn't submit keeps last quarter's decisions. Your pages show who has submitted, what's waiting for you, and every firm's statements side by side, with a spreadsheet download for your own analysis.

The point for your course

You spend class time on the statements, not on running software.

Quarters

Each quarter stays open until its deadline. Then the system locks every firm's decisions, calculates results and opens the next quarter. A firm that hasn't submitted keeps its previous quarter's decisions.

Quarters 1 to 3

Warm-up

Run by the simulation before teams take over, so every firm starts with three quarters of statements to read.

Quarter 4

Open

Decisions due 24 Oct, 11:59 pm (6 days left).

3 of 4 firms have submitted. Not yet: Delta.

Quarter 5

Not open yet

Opens automatically when Quarter 4 closes after its deadline. Decisions due 7 Nov, 11:59 pm.

Every figure in this tour comes from a practice run of a reference course, played by the same engine a class uses, with the Careful, Average and Careless reference teams over 11 quarters. Names of students, instructors and firms are made up.
