The Advanced Business Simulation
Your students stop doing homework and start running the company.
YuktiX is a multi-round competitive strategy simulation, built AI-native from the engine up. A real eight-seat C-suite, a deterministic engine that never lets AI touch the score, and a coach that teaches the why behind every result.
Not one shared decision form
A genuine executive team
Each participant claims a C-suite seat and owns their function’s decisions — server-enforced. Officers submit; the CEO consolidates and files. Accountability, negotiation and cross-functional trade-offs become the lesson.
Prefer a flat team? Turn roles off and everyone edits everything — same engine, your call.
The architecture that matters
AI coaches. The engine scores.
Every result comes from a deterministic, pure-code market engine — the same math the in-app what-if projector runs, so a lever that helps in preview helps for real. Outcomes are reproducible and identical for every viewer: no black box, nothing to argue with in a debrief. AI is the board, the coach and the comms desk — never the judge.
End-of-Round Coach
A per-team retrospective — charts from the real results plus an advanced-MBA analysis, function by function, of how they could have done better. Faculty get a private teaching-notes version: the concept, the Socratic question, the figures for the board.
Communications Studio
Teams draft a press release, board memo and employee memo — then it is checked against reality. Over-promise the market and Credibility Capital erodes; mislead the board and confidence falls toward a CEO firing.
Executive Coach
A Socratic assistant on every team's desk — it asks whether a framework fits, and never hands over the answer.
AI Board Memo
The Chair's personalized read on the round, grounded strictly in that team's own numbers, always ending in questions worth debating.
Where the learning happens
Situation rooms that teach the why
Every seat gets an interactive lab, not a blank form. Students sketch a scenario, watch the real engine respond live, then push it to the boardroom — the decision and the reasoning arrive together.
Pricing Lab & Cross-Price Wargame
Sweep price through the live engine to the profit-max, then war-game the field's reply on a your-move × their-move matrix. The price-war trap becomes a picture.
Strategy → Plan
Pick a posture — Cost, Differentiation, Focus, Blue Ocean — and watch VRIO, Five Forces, BCG, TOWS, life-cycles and the experience curve translate it into per-lever targets.
Live what-if, everywhere
Marketing ROI, plant break-even, R&D game theory, capital & tax, workforce morale — each with a sketch-it-yourself sandbox wired to the same engine that scores the round.
How it compares
YuktiX vs. the established standard
Breadth, or depth
Cesim publishes a broad catalogue — thirteen-plus full simulations plus microsimulations spanning marketing, finance, HR, retail, hospitality, banking and more, in multiple languages. If you need a different simulation for every course on the timetable, that catalogue is a genuine strength. YuktiX is the other bet: one strategy simulation, taken far deeper than any single title in that catalogue — and rebuilt for the AI era.
