Explore the 10 decision areasExample challenges and practice goals
These are discussion areas, not ten separate ready-made simulations. We confirm the fit of an existing scenario before booking.
Customers, Sales & Pricing
Customer commitments and commercial trade-offs
Example challenge
A major customer wants a discount and a delivery promise the team may not be able to keep.
Practice goal
Set boundaries for commercial exceptions, margin trade-offs and customer commitments.
Marketing & Growth
Growth bets, claims and evidence
Example challenge
A campaign looks successful, but attribution is uncertain. The team wants to increase spend.
Practice goal
Distinguish evidence from a persuasive story; agree what justifies the next growth bet.
Money & Capital
Investment, cash and resource allocation
Example challenge
Two projects compete for limited funding. An optimistic forecast favors the harder-to-reverse option.
Practice goal
Agree investment evidence, decision authority and conditions to pause or stop.
Operations & Delivery
Capacity, quality and delivery promises
Example challenge
Demand rises while capacity falls. Keeping a delivery promise could put quality at risk.
Practice goal
Define acceptable trade-offs, local authority and escalation thresholds.
Product & Innovation
Roadmaps, experiments and stopping rules
Example challenge
A product has missed its milestones. Customer interest remains, but costs keep rising.
Practice goal
Set evidence thresholds for continuing, changing course or stopping an investment.
Technology, Data & AI
Automation, evidence and human authority
Example challenge
An AI recommendation looks convincing, but it relies on data outside its usual scope.
Practice goal
Decide when AI advice is usable, what needs human review and who owns the call.
Strategy, M&A & Ownership
Strategic bets, acquisitions and transitions
Example challenge
A market-entry or acquisition opportunity has a deadline, while key assumptions remain untested.
Practice goal
Make the strategic thesis, approval boundaries and walk-away conditions explicit.
Risk, Reputation & Governance
Exceptions, thresholds and escalation
Example challenge
A policy exception could protect an important relationship while creating wider exposure.
Practice goal
Agree who may authorize exceptions, what must be disclosed and when to escalate.
Change & Transformation
Restructuring, integration and change load
Example challenge
A reorganization promises savings, but teams are already carrying several major changes.
Practice goal
Weigh local gains against system effects; agree sequencing, capacity limits and ownership.
Pressure Room takeaways
A written agreement people can try.
Use the run to compare reasoning, draft clear rules and agree a first workplace use. Name an owner and review date so the group can try the rules, learn and revise them.
A table’s support does not speak for the whole room. The facilitator helps reconcile a common minimum and make legitimate exceptions explicit.
Your working agreement
Four things to make explicit.
- Evidence
- What must be checked before we commit?
- Ownership
- Who makes the call? Who approves an exception?
- AI’s role
- What may AI do, and what must a person verify?
- Pause or escalate
- What change makes us stop, reopen or ask for help?
Plus a first use, a responsible person and a review point. Unresolved issues stay visible.
Make the planning straightforward.

FAQs
Questions, answered.
Search the questions and answers, or open one below.
What is Pressure Room?
Pressure Room is decision ownership and judgment practice. In a fictional company, you make calls, hear people and AI advice, and see how earlier choices affect later decisions. A facilitated session adds discussion and a working agreement for one recurring decision category.
Who is it for?
Corporate professionals, teams, founders and leaders who make or contribute to consequential decisions. Finance, operations, commercial, product and cross-functional teams can all take part. You do not need an executive title or prior AI expertise.
Why use a fictional company instead of our own case?
A shared fictional case lets people compare reasoning without disclosing confidential work or defending a past decision. The facilitated debrief then applies what the group noticed to one real recurring decision category. Selecting that category does not require a custom simulation.
How does everyone participate?
In the two-hour and half-day formats, teams share a screen. The Driver leads discussion; the Navigator operates the screen and submits. Analysts challenge assumptions and advice. Observers participate and capture how the group works. Quiet first views and short icebreakers make room for independent thought and connection.
How long does the simulation take?
The free preview takes about 12 minutes for two SIM weeks, with an optional third. The full simulation has eight connected challenges and a 55-minute play budget, including setup, two icebreakers and discussion. Aim for 5–7 minutes per SIM week. The two-hour workshop adds a 10-minute briefing, 20 minutes comparing reasoning, 20 minutes agreeing decision rules and 15 minutes choosing the first workplace use.
What do we leave with?
Think Clearly With AI provides a THINK review card and preparation for an upcoming decision. Pressure Room adds a written working agreement covering evidence, human responsibilities, AI use and escalation, plus a first-use plan. The combined half day adds time to rehearse and revise. Unresolved concerns or required approvals remain visible in the draft.
How do you get from a game to a useful agreement?
The group compares choices and reasons, chooses one recurring decision, and drafts rules for evidence, ownership, AI use and escalation. The facilitator helps hear different views and name a first use, owner and review date. Try the agreement at work and revise it as you learn. The combined half day adds a rehearsal.
Are participants scored or assessed?
The simulation tracks fictional company results. A connected workshop can compare team company KPIs at the same completed week. It does not rank individual ability, assign personality types or assess readiness for a role. A good result can still come from a weak process; the debrief examines the reasoning separately.
What are the three formats?
Think Clearly With AI: 50 minutes to learn, practice and apply THINK. Pressure Room: 2 hours for facilitated simulation, debrief and a working agreement for one decision category. THINK + Pressure Room: a combined 3.5-hour half day with adapted Pressure Room pacing, a 10-minute break and an additional 30-minute rehearsal. Each format can be booked independently.
What does a session cost?
For up to 30 people: Think Clearly With AI is USD 5,000 for the first three qualifying sessions booked before October 31, 2026; USD 7,500 once either limit is reached. Pressure Room is USD 12,000. The combined half day is USD 17,000. Additional participants, adaptation and any travel are agreed in the quote.
How many people can attend?
Up to 30 people are included in the base session price. Add USD 1,000 for each additional block of 10, up to 100 participants. Groups above 100 are scoped separately. We confirm table sizes, facilitation support and delivery arrangements before booking.
Can you adapt the scenario to our work?
Choosing a decision area and applying the discussion to your work are included. Adapting one existing scenario costs an additional USD 2,000, for agreed changes such as names, characters, goals or arena. New mechanics, a new scenario or deeper customization are scoped separately.
Can you run it in person or online?
Yes. In person, small groups share a screen and discuss at tables. Online, breakout groups use a shared screen and return for the debrief. We agree the platform, room setup and facilitator support with the organizer in advance.
What do we need to prepare?
The sponsor chooses a goal and one recurring decision category with Pav. Participants need no advance AI study or confidential documents. Share any participation or accessibility requirements during planning so the format can be adjusted.
What happens after a scope call?
We confirm the event goal, decision category, format, group size and logistics, then send a written scope and quote. You can try the public demos beforehand. Dates and delivery arrangements are confirmed through the booking process.
Do you need our systems or confidential information?
No systems access or proprietary documents are needed for the standard session. The simulation uses authored fictional cases. Describe your decision category generally; keep sensitive details out of practice notes and shared discussions.
No matching answer. Try fewer words, or ask Pav.
