Employers have stopped trusting that a degree comes with judgment. Students find out on
their first day. Organisations already own the lessons, filed as postmortems. We wrote one
paper for each side of that gap, and all three end at the same place: a simulator where the
judgment can be practised before it costs anything.

Why Employers Stopped Trusting the Degree
The judgment gap in new-graduate hiring, and a simulator-based way to close it.
What the payroll and hiring data actually show about 22–25-year-olds — and what they do not
What hiring managers now mean by "judgment", and why a lecture cannot teach it
The flight simulator and the case method, and what a browser can do that neither could

The Simulator Your Postmortems Wanted
Custom engineering-judgment simulators built from your domain, your stack and your incident history — for the graduates you hire and the engineers you already have.
Why your incident history is the best judgment curriculum you own, and how a postmortem becomes a playable world
Two uses of one world: hire from transcripts at the universities you recruit from; give new hires their first incident before their first incident
The talent pool: candidates who opt in, found by hours in the simulator, worlds completed and competencies evidenced — priced per profile
How a five-week engagement runs, and what we will and will not claim
