Start from work people recognise.
Use familiar files, colleagues, deadlines and competing priorities. The companies are fictional; the decisions connect to real responsibilities.
About StepSim
AI changes the work. People still own the decisions.
StepSim is an AIR APAC initiative, built in Singapore by Exeter Labs. It gives managers realistic practice in deciding with AI, and gives organisations recorded evidence to discuss and act on.

Why we built it
An AI assistant can suggest an answer. Other AI systems can carry out work on their own. A manager still decides what evidence to check, what the system may do and when a person should intervene.
Those choices can be difficult to see in everyday work. StepSim puts them inside a case with known evidence, a deadline and consequences. The record lets a trainer examine the choices with the people who made them.
Our aim is to make that discussion practical: what needs checking next time, what limits should change and who should own the next decision.

What guides the experience
Show the actions behind the reading.
Record what people do. Use written rules and show the evidence behind the feedback. An AI model does not grade anyone.
Make the debrief part of the learning.
Help participants examine their route, consider another route and connect the case to a decision ahead at work.
Keep decisions and outcomes distinct.
Examine whether a decision was supported by the available evidence, separately from whether events turned out well.
Be clear about access.
Tell people before they start who sees their named record and how it may be used.
End with ownership.
Turn the discussion into actions with owners and dates. Checking evidence and owning consequences remain useful as tools change.
