Analytical Training Platform
IntelSimDon't just teach students.
Build critical thinkers.
Teams work scenario-based exercises using structured analytic techniques. They analyze primary source materials, build competing hypotheses under time pressure, brief a decision-maker who responds in character, and receive a scored rubric debrief tied to real analytical standards.

HOW IT WORKS
A full analytical cycle, inside a single session.
Teams Analyze
Participants work through a scenario using primary source materials and apply structured analytic techniques under time pressure. Documents vary by scenario and may include field reports, financial records, historical cables, or custom-built source sets.
Brief the Decision-Maker
Teams submit their assessment to a scenario-specific decision-maker who responds in character. Historical personas draw on real documents, speeches, and writings. Fictional personas are purpose-built around the learning objectives of the exercise.
Scored Debrief
Each team receives a rubric-based debrief scored against an expert benchmark. Criteria are specific to the simulation and the analytic techniques it exercises.
INSIDE THE PLATFORM
Every phase. One coherent exercise.
Primary source materials with credibility ratings and source context. Teams build their analysis from the ground up, evaluating what each document can and cannot tell them.
Teams brief a scenario-specific decision-maker who responds in character, pressing weak reasoning and rewarding precise, well-supported conclusions. The exchange reflects the real pressure of briefing a senior stakeholder.
Every submission is scored against a structured expert rubric. Participants see exactly where their analysis succeeded and where it fell short, with criteria tied to the specific techniques the simulation exercises.
