05 · THE PRACTICE

1 · Decide

Real trade-offs, on a clock that never stops.

2 · Predict

Pause and call what happens next, then see if you were right.

3 · See why

Every result shows the practice behind it, and its evidence.

4 · Debrief

Learning outcomes, a replay of cause and effect, and a second try.

Designed on research into simulation and game-based learning: practice with feedback, reflection, and a structured debrief.
