About this simulation

A 2-round AI-coached simulation that teaches the inverted mentorship ask. Protagonists pick three realistic mentor candidates, design a value-first specific bounded request, then draft and send the actual outreach during the session.

The coach scores Specificity, Value Offered, and Ask Discipline, and gives feedback drawn from the canonical failure modes (untouchable candidates, vague value, open-ended ask, polish-forever paralysis).

Who it is for

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.
