SAMPLE DECISION / NO ACCOUNT
Six months of cash. Choose your first test.
Explore this standalone sample while the game opens. It is not your saved round; these panels do not save decisions.
Our fictional judges draw their speaking styles and investing perspectives from VC legends—including Marc Andreessen and Jason Calacanis—to bring the boardroom to life.
Relay has 120 paying repair shops, $180,000 cash and $30,000 monthly net burn.
How outcomes are modeled?
Current inputs: Sample seed 247; 120 paying shops, $180,000 available cash and $30,000 monthly net burn.
Declared event: Declared sample event: Workshop backlog. Reach 0.75×; repeat-use change -5.0 percentage points.
Action cost: Each sample move shows its cash cost and founder hours before opening the consequence.
Time effect: Each move shows founder hours; compare them with the cash cost before choosing.
Scoring basis: Open a move to compare repeat use with the 80% learning checkpoint. Use that metric to judge whether the test gives you a strong customer signal.
How to use this result: Compare each move using cash spent, repeat use, and runway. Favor the test that gives you the clearest customer signal for the money and time it uses.
Which test would you fund?
Predict whether repeat use will reach 80%, then open a move to compare its cost and evidence.
