Kelvari Strait Crisis

Strategic Supply Chain Simulation

SIMULATION OVERVIEW

Teams represent the leadership of competing fabless semiconductor firms navigating a disrupted global supply chain. Each round, teams submit a sealed Course of Action. An AI Adjudicator resolves all submissions simultaneously against the evolving world state. Teams that reason well about second-order effects and competitor behavior outperform teams that react to surface signals or follow the crowd.
