About this simulation

Design a 16-week parental leave that actually disconnects you from work and a re-entry plan that prevents month-2 burnout. Across 4 rounds you map named backfills, write the handoff doc, set the blackout communication policy, and design the ramped re-entry. Score on Leave Integrity (work blackout discipline), Handoff Quality (no Slack leaks), Re-entry Design (ramped return), and Partner Co-governance.

The coach pushes you toward full-blackout, named-backfills, prep-cutoff, ramped-reentry, identity-flex, and co-governance.
