What is a Microsimulation?

A short, focused exercise that puts teams in a realistic scenario to practice decisions, strengthen response, and capture measurable evidence of resilience.

Do Microsimulations replace Tabletop Exercises?

No - they make tabletops sharper. Continuous Microsimulation practice keeps skills current between set-piece exercises and shows exactly where capability is thin, so when you do run a tabletop, it's addressing real gaps instead of starting cold.

What is Capability Intelligence?

Capability Intelligence is the continuous measurement of how well people, processes, and technology perform in critical events or change. It gives leaders a real-time view of readiness - not as a checklist, but as living intelligence that evolves with the organization.

Who are Microsimulations for?

Individual team members, team cohorts, and cross-functional business units. From executives, boards, risk and cyber teams to operations and third parties. Run single-player practice or multiplayer team sessions.

How long does a Microsimulation take?

Most single-player simulations take 3-5 minutes. Multiplayer and digital tabletops typically run 30-90 minutes.

How do Microsimulations support regulatory and assurance requirements?

Microsimulations continuously test and document resilience capability - producing auditable data aligned with frameworks such as DORA, Operational Resilience, NIST, ISO 22301, APRA CPS 230, FFIEC, and SEC disclosure expectations. They transform "we think we're ready" into measurable proof.

Agent Down

Welcome to Agent Down, a forward-thinking Microsimulation that explores the potential impacts and response priorities associated with agentic AI in critical services. This scenario has been specifically designed to force decision making with limited information, as is common in fast moving incidents.

We’ll share anonymized insights and benchmarks from the Microsimulation to help leaders learn from how others approach the scenario.

Proof that practice works.

These scenarios are very real! Microsimulations are a such great way to build that “muscle memory” for crisis response.

These Microsimulations look great. I’m looking forward to engaging the broader team (recovery managers and new CMT members) more often.
