The team argues back. That's the point.

Should we go registry style or centralized hub for the golden record?
MDM Architect

Hold on. Before we pick architecture, I need the real constraints, not the pretty PowerPoint version. REGISTRY keeps source records where they are: minimal disruption, but fraud can't see linked patterns in real time. HUB gives the fraud team one view across all 5 CRMs. You don't get both in 9 months.

Delivery Manager

And cost check: the hub route is ~$800K in software licence alone. Which matters more for the board: real-time fraud visibility, or not breaking CRM workflows mid-project? Pick one.

Not a chatbot. A team with opinions.

Every scenario drops you into a working project with an AI team that holds its ground. Here is what that buys you:

An AI team that argues

  • Claude-backed teammates, each defending their role's corner: architect, steward, CFO, infosec
  • Replies stream in live, first words in about a second
  • Rooms read the difficulty: Beginner welcomes you in, Expert starts with the clock running
  • Every reply ends by pushing a decision back to you. Nobody lectures.

A real project underneath

  • Issue board organised by phase: Discovery, Build, Validate, Deploy
  • A full RACI matrix, so you know exactly what you own
  • Open any task and take it to the team for a fight
  • Success criteria drawn from real vendor case studies, not invented numbers

What you walk away with

  • The words for the next real meeting: you have already had this argument
  • Every debate exports as a Markdown transcript, portfolio-ready
  • Progress and roles saved to your account, on any device
  • Founding members: all nine scenarios and 200 team messages a day, free forever

Not a quiz. A simulated project.

🎭 Pick a role

Architect, MDM developer, steward, integration lead, delivery manager. Your perspective shapes the project and what the team expects from you.

📋 Work the issue board

Real project tasks organised by phase (Discovery → Build → Validate → Deploy) with a full RACI matrix. Check off what you own.

💬 Debate your AI team

Teammates challenge your thinking, bring cost and risk numbers, and force trade-offs, then leave the decision to you.

🎯 Measure against real KPIs

Every scenario carries success criteria drawn from actual vendor case studies: duplicate rates, false-positive targets, go-live clocks.

First, X-ray the team you already have.

A free 90-second diagnostic reads your data team's structure: staffing gaps, role collisions, and the person quietly holding four jobs.

Then ask whether the data is fit to decide on.

Two free judgment agents. Paste a data sample and the DQ Profiler gives you a verdict — including refusing to profile it. Describe a challenge and the Solution Architect designs it end to end, and tells you when you don't need the hub you asked for.
