Notes from the case method's next chapter
Writing on what happens when case studies become playable — honest comparisons, worked examples you can actually play, and lessons from building the platform.
What does an AI case simulation actually cost to run?
Measured figures from a real case, not estimates: what one simulation and its debrief cost per learner, why the speech bill is bigger than the model bill, and the change that takes a replay to zero.
Before you upload anythingCan you turn someone else’s case study into a simulation?
Your teaching licence lets you distribute a case to your class. Turning it into an interactive experience is a different act, and most licences are silent on it. The questions to ask, and who to ask them of.
On the case methodWhy a simulation without a debrief teaches almost nothing
The discussion has always been the lesson, not the reading. Three tests for whether a platform actually teaches — starting with playing it badly on purpose and reading what it says.
ComparisonThe best platforms for turning case studies into simulations (2026)
LiveCase, Forio, StratX, INSEAD, building your own — and us. An honest comparison that names where every competitor beats us, by people who make one of the platforms on the list.
The case method, playedOne client crisis, five ways to train on it
A fictional law firm misses its biggest client's filing deadline. The same facts become an animated story, a crisis inbox, a boardroom, a five o'clock call and a courtroom — and each one teaches something different.
