What a simulation records

• The actions you take in the case, including what you open, ask, accept and change, with their times.
• The case version and starting conditions, so the record can be replayed.
• In public practice, a random key in place of your name. You do not give your name or email to try The Friday file.
• In a team session, the name you provide at the start and the session you join.

The record describes your actions in the case. StepSim does not infer emotion or stress from timing, typing, voice or video.

Trying The Friday file

Your practice run is kept on the device you use. Its record is not sent to StepSim or shared with a trainer or employer.

Taking part in a team session

Before you start, the notice identifies the session and explains who sees your record and how it may be used.

• You see your own record and feedback.
• The facilitator receives the complete session report.
• Your line manager receives the records of their own people.
• The organisation that commissioned the session receives the named results under the session's access arrangements.
• Records and results may be used for development, assessment and hiring. A team session gives each person a development reading. A hiring or certification decision uses a separate Assessment of at least three missions the person has not seen.
• Your record is included in the group's results. Group counts appear once ten people have completed the simulation.
• Records are sent to a server in Singapore and kept for 90 days after the session closes, then deleted.
• You can withdraw your record until the facilitator closes the session.

The facilitator may ask your line manager about agreed actions after the session. StepSim does not contact your organisation to collect that follow-up.

Ask before the session.
