How to generate and refine a scenario

Sign in and go to /start — or, from inside the member area, click + Generate scenario on /scenarios. The form opens with three "who is this for?" prompts (Individual, Company, Consultancy) so the generator knows the right perspective to write from.

The biggest lever on what gets generated is the Company block — name, industry, country and approximate size. Fill these in as concretely as you can; the more specific the inputs, the more specific the scenario. Real customer names, regulator names and regional context all get woven into the injects.

Pick an incident type from the nine categories. Starter and Pro plans cover one category at a time (set on your account page); Enterprise plans cover all nine.

Hit Generate scenario. The job runs server-side — typically a minute or two — building a three-act arc with branching pressure points, time-pressured executive decisions, and supporting characters (red team and support team). You’ll land on Prepare automatically when it finishes.

The Prepare page lists every role across three teams:

• Blue Team — CEO, CFO, CLO, CMO, CIO, CISO, PRO. Each can be a real player, an automated NPC, or marked Not Present.
• Red Team — adversaries (journalist, regulator, attacker, customer, board). Toggle to NPC or assign a live participant.
• Support Team — specialist advisers who assist the blue team. Same active / automated / absent toggle.

Mix and match — a session with one CEO live, the CFO and CISO automated, and a journalist driven by another live player is a common starting shape.

The Refine Scenario card on Prepare opens the scenario editor. From there you can rewrite the title, adjust the company facts, edit individual injects (subject + body + recipient routing + scenario-time), and re-tune the three-act arc. Save to update the version your players will see.

If the generator drifted from what you wanted, refining is usually faster than regenerating — you keep the parts that work and only touch what didn’t.

Three more Prepare cards round out the scenario for delivery:

• Branding — apply your member logo so the screens and exports carry your identity.
• Agenda — the timetable players see; tighten or stretch the part lengths if the room needs more decision time.
• Prepare Learning Materials — generate the tutorial deck and MCQs for the end-of-part debriefs, plus link in any additional videos and slides from the Academy.

The scenario is now in your member library at /scenarios. From Prepare you can launch either an automated single-player run (one console, NPCs play every other role) or a hosted multiplayer session that opens the full host dashboard — covered in the next guide.
