The mission rhythm · Learning Module 01

Know what happens before you press start

Each mission begins with a worked example, then gives you a case to solve, specific feedback, a fair retry, and one private capability to earn. Your Analyst Companion grows through learning milestones, never through speed or ranking.

Each active mission uses a native fictional case board.

No Quant Lab widget is copied or connected. Learning Module 4 remains a protected shell separate from the closed-book quiz.

  1. 01

    Briefing

    Meet one business question and the decision that needs evidence.

  2. 02

    Worked example

    See one complete example before you attempt the mission.

  3. 03

    Case board

    Inspect one fictional business through four problem-framing lenses.

  4. 04

    Decision checkpoints

    Frame the problem, recommend a first analysis, and explain a data safeguard.

  5. 05

    Reflection and retry

    Read specific feedback, retry without losing XP, and name your next step.

  6. 06

    Capability earned

    Complete the verified checkpoint and review every explanation.

Fair-play economy

Earn every point by learning, never by speed

XP is a private progress signal. It cannot become marks, quiz help, deadline advantages, or access to required learning material.

60XP

Mastery

Full XP remains available after retry.

25XP

Evidence

Explain why the decision fits the evidence.

15XP

Reflection

Record confidence and what changed.
