How it works
Six steps through a real decision
The company's name and the outcome stay hidden while you work. A short case takes a few minutes; a harder one takes longer. You can pause and come back later.
02
Choose what to examine
Open the material you want to examine and choose from the case's extra questions. In longer cases, you can also mark information as important or less important. Those judgements count towards your result.
03
Make your choice
Choose how you would act. State the reasons that matter most, the risks you see and how confident you are in your decision. Your choices form the basis of your score.
04
Test your reasoning
You face an objection to your choice. Respond to it, then decide whether to stand by your decision or change it. Your response is assessed either way.
05
Lock your decision
Review your decision before you lock it. Once it is locked, you cannot change your answer. The company's name is then revealed.
06
See what happened
Compare your choice with the company's decision and what followed. You also get your result. Your score reflects how you used the information, not whether you made the same choice as the company.
Feedback on your decision
Get your result straight away. Explore it with AI if you want to.
Your result reflects how you used the case material and supported your decision. The company's story gives you a point of comparison. The AI review can offer further feedback on how your choices and reasoning fit together.

Your decision profile
Get to know how you make decisions
Your decision profile brings together the cases you have completed. As you make more decisions, you can begin to see patterns in what matters to you, how you handle risk and when you change your mind.
Who is it for?
For anyone who wants to practise difficult choices
Managers and leaders
Practise decisions with incomplete information and several plausible options. Examine what makes you choose one course of action over another.
Founders and business owners
Consider how you would act when cash runs short or the market changes. Other companies' decisions give you concrete situations to work through.
Business and leadership students
Put what you are learning to use in a real business case. Explain your choice before comparing it with the company's decision and what happened afterwards.
Teachers and educators
Ask participants to decide before revealing the outcome. Then compare the information and reasons they relied on. A shared case gives the discussion a concrete starting point.
How your decision is assessed
A carefully considered decision can turn out badly. A weak one can succeed through luck. Your score therefore reflects how you used the information when you made your choice. What happened afterwards does not affect it.
01
You decide before the reveal
You see the company's name and the outcome only after you have locked your decision.
02
You can read the sources
The cases draw on documented public events. You can see the sources after the reveal.
03
Your cases build a decision profile
Your profile is based on the cases you complete. More decisions give you more to compare and help you see recurring patterns.

The Offer on the Table
Your role
You run a national home-entertainment rental chain.
You operate thousands of stores. You are the largest business of your kind in the world, you are profitable, and your brand is the default verb people use for renting a film.
This morning, the founders of a four-year-old internet company flew in to propose that you buy them. They post discs to subscribers by mail, charge a flat monthly fee and do not charge late fees. They have a few hundred thousand subscribers, they lost more money last year than they made in revenue, and they are asking for approximately $50m.
Fifty million dollars is roughly what thirty of your stores cost to build.
Your team is split. You have to give them an answer.

- ≈7,700
