Cognistry Sim

# Let teams practice critical decisions before they face them live. own the map.

Cognistry Sim runs realistic decision environments where professionals apply judgment, practice complex scenarios, and demonstrate competence under pressure.

**Move beyond training completion.  
Prove real capability.**

*Scenario → Decision → Feedback → Insight*

Sim delivers realistic practice environments where readiness is proven.

Sim · Experience map Package received

 Enablement Lead

Forge just released Escalation Judgment. What did we get?

 Sim

Release Package v1.2 received. Assembling the experience map now.

Release Package

Escalation Judgment — v1.2

- Experiences 6 mapped
- Scenarios 14 decision moments
- Proof checks 2 checkpoints
- Provenance Traces to Snapshot 2026-08

Validated in Forge before it arrived

Sim · Experience map Sequencing

 Enablement Lead

They practice between shifts. Keep each sitting short.

 Sim

Sequencing the map: triage first, severity next, escalation under pressure last.

Experience map

Practice path — adjusters

- Path Triage → Severity → Escalate
- Sittings 20 minutes, twice a week
- Gates Proof check after each stage
- Reruns Unlimited, tracked

The map fits the work, not the calendar

Sim · Sharing Sharing

 Enablement Lead

Managers want visibility without another dashboard login.

 Sim

Sharing the map: cohort access for adjusters, read-only views for the people watching.

Access

Experience map — shared

- Cohort A 46 seats, active
- Stakeholders Read-only map view
- Managers Weekly signal digest
- Ownership Enablement holds the map

One map, every audience

Sim · Telemetry Signals live

 Enablement Lead

And once they start practicing?

 Sim

Every rehearsal streams signals back to the map — decisions, timing, confidence.

Telemetry

Cohort A — signal capture

- Decision paths done
- Time to decision done
- Confidence signals running
- Proof rollup queued

Practice you can actually see

An enablement lead and Sim receive the Release Package, sequence the experience map, share it with cohorts and stakeholders, and watch telemetry signals stream back.

## Most training never proves real capability.

Traditional training measures:

- course completion
- quiz scores
- participation

But these signals rarely prove that someone can perform under real conditions.

Professionals must operate in environments with:

- ambiguity
- time pressure
- conflicting information
- real consequences

Without practicing decisions in these environments, competence remains theoretical.

**Sim solves this by creating practice environments where decisions matter.**

## Capability is proven through practice.

Capability is the ability to perform under constraint.

To develop that ability, professionals must:

- encounter realistic scenarios
- apply judgment
- make decisions under pressure
- observe the consequences

Sim delivers these experiences through structured decision environments designed in Forge.

## Sim runs the practice environments

### Run Decision Environments

Sim delivers scenarios where professionals must analyze situations and choose actions.

These environments simulate real decision contexts.

### Capture Performance Signals

Sim captures signals from learner behavior including:

- decision paths
- time to decision
- mistakes
- confidence levels

These signals provide insight into real proficiency.

### Produce Performance Signals

Sim produces performance signals that organizations can analyze and improve.

This moves training beyond completion metrics toward demonstrated performance.

## From design to real practice

Step 1

### Receive Release Package

Sim consumes the Release Package produced in Forge.

This package contains: program structure, decision scenarios, learning experiences.

Step 2

### Deliver Practice Environments

Sim delivers programs through interactive environments where learners engage with scenarios and apply judgment.

Step 3

### Capture Telemetry

Sim records learner behavior and decision outcomes.

These telemetry events capture how professionals actually respond to real scenarios.

Step 4

### Generate Performance Signals

The resulting signals show whether proficiency is developing and where improvement is needed.

## Practice the decisions that define performance

Sim environments can include:

- operational decision scenarios
- stakeholder conversations
- strategic tradeoff exercises
- problem-diagnosis simulations

These environments allow teams to rehearse the kinds of decisions they will face in real work.

## Sim is not a quiz engine

Sim focuses on demonstrated performance, not just knowledge.

| Traditional LMS | Scenario Tools | Cognistry Sim |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Deliver courses | Static scenarios | Interactive decision environments |
| Track completion | Simple branching | Real decision practice |
| Quiz results | Narrative outcomes | Behavioral telemetry |

## Understand how professionals actually perform

Sim captures signals such as:

- decision path
- time to decision
- retry attempts
- confidence levels
- mistakes and corrections

These signals reveal how judgment develops over time.

## Where Sim delivers measurable value

### Leadership decision development

Practice strategic decision-making before leaders face real situations.

### AI workforce enablement

Train teams to make effective decisions with AI tools.

### Operational scenario training

Prepare teams for complex operational challenges.

### Stakeholder communication

Practice high-stakes conversations with simulated stakeholders.

## Built for proof, not participation

- ✔ Decision-based practice environments
- ✔ Behavioral performance signals
- ✔ Proof of capability development
- ✔ Integrated development pipeline

## Prove capability before it matters

Cognistry Sim gives teams a safe environment to practice the decisions that define performance.

Capture real performance signals and build professionals who are ready for real situations.
