Test it on your own trainees first

We do not have published case studies yet. So instead of asking you to trust someone else’s numbers, we run a pilot with your people and measure what changes.

How a pilot runs

Five steps. Most of the time goes into the run, where trainees use the scenarios as part of normal teaching.

  1. Step 1, one call

    Scope call

    We talk through who you train, what they struggle with and which units or competencies matter. Together we pick the scenarios and agree what success would look like.

  2. Step 2, before the run

    Setup

    We install the app, load your scenarios and regional pack, and check the headsets on your network. If team sessions are in scope, we test them in the room you will use.

  3. Step 3, before the run

    Educator training

    Your educators learn to run a session, switch between practice and assessed mode, run a team scenario and lead a debrief. They should be confident before any trainee puts on a headset.

  4. Step 4, 4 to 8 weeks

    The run

    Trainees use the scenarios as part of their normal timetable. We check in with your educator lead along the way and fix anything that gets in the way.

  5. Step 5, at the end

    Measurement

    We pull the results together, collect educator feedback and write up the evaluation. Then we walk you through it.

What gets measured

We agree the measures on the scope call. These five are the default, because they answer the questions a training committee usually asks.

Confidence, before and after
A short self-rating survey at the start and again at the end, with the same questions both times.
Scenario scores
Scores from the debrief of each run, against the guideline in your regional pack. Practice runs and assessed runs are kept apart.
Completion
How many trainees started each scenario, and how many finished it.
Time on task
Headset time per trainee and per scenario, so you can see what a session really costs in timetable hours.
Educator feedback
A structured conversation or survey with the educators who ran the sessions: what worked, what got in the way, what they would change.

What you receive

An evaluation report written for the people who decide what happens next: your educators, your training committee and whoever holds the budget.

  • The evaluation report

    Every measure above, explained in plain language, with a clear recommendation.

  • The results data

    The underlying scenario results as a spreadsheet, so your team can check our working.

  • A walk-through

    A call with your educator lead and anyone else who should hear it, with time for questions.

  • An honest next step

    If it worked, a site licence proposal. If it did not, what we would change, or why it is not a fit.

What we need from you

Pilots fail when nobody owns them. These six things make the difference.

How deployment works
  • An educator lead

    One named person who owns the pilot on your side and can give us an hour a week.

  • A cohort

    A group of trainees who can fit sessions into their timetable during the run.

  • Headsets

    Your own, or ones you buy for the pilot. We tell you exactly what to get. A hardware bundle is coming.

  • A space

    A room with a clear play area for each trainee. Two by two metres per person is a good starting point.

  • A network

    Local Wi-Fi the headsets can join, or permission from IT to use a small standalone training router.

  • Consent

    Agreement to run the before and after survey, and to share anonymised results with us for the report.

About case studies

When pilots finish, we would like to publish what we learned. We will only do that with the site’s written permission. Until then, this page is our honest answer to “who else uses it?”

Pilot questions

Why run a pilot instead of reading case studies?

We are a young company and we do not have published case studies yet. A pilot gives you evidence from your own trainees, measured the way you choose, which is more useful than someone else’s results anyway.

How long does a pilot take?

The run itself is 4 to 8 weeks. Add a scope call, setup and educator training before it, and the write-up after it.

How much does a pilot cost?

We quote on a call, because it depends on the number of trainees, headsets and scenarios. There is no charge for the scope call.

Who owns the results?

You do. Results stay on your headsets or your own fleet console. We only publish anything about your pilot with your written permission.

What happens after the pilot?

You decide. If it worked, we talk about a site licence. If it did not, the evaluation report tells you why, and you keep it.

Start with a scope call

Thirty minutes to talk through who you train and what you would want a pilot to show. No charge, and no commitment.
