Product · AI Workplace Simulator

The job before the job.
Learn it. Do it. Prove it.

A 30-day simulated workplace where Business Analysts produce real deliverables, face real stakeholder pressure, get graded by a professional engine, and walk away with a verified portfolio employers can actually inspect.

See it in action

This is what your workplace looks like.

Project inbox. AI colleagues. Daily briefs. Stakeholder pressure. Real deadlines. This is not a course — it's a job.

The problem

TheBAcatch-22nobodytalksabout.

Every BA job asks for 2–7 years of experience. You can't get experience without the job. Courses give you knowledge. Knowledge doesn't get you hired. Evidence does.

“

I've done the BA course and know the theory. But every interviewer wants to see actual work I've done. I have nothing to show.

“

I've applied to 60 BA roles. I keep getting told I need more experience. How do I get experience if nobody gives me a chance?

“

I get to the interview stage. Then they ask me to walk them through a deliverable I have actually written. I freeze.

“

I got my BCS Business Analysis certification. Three months later I'm still getting rejected. Employers want to see what I can do, not what exams I've passed.

“

I've been a junior BA for two years. HR want evidence of Intermediate BA deliverables before they approve the pay grade. I'm stuck.

“

I want to go contracting. Agencies won't put me forward without a strong portfolio of recent deliverables. I have experience but nothing I'm allowed to share.

The project

The Northbridge

Customer Data Platform

A GDPR-compliant CDP project. Realistic brief. Real stakeholders. Real pressure. You work as the BA on a live project arc for 30 days — from discovery to handover.

This is not a made-up exercise. Every deliverable maps to the published Intermediate BA competency framework — the actual work product set employers expect from a mid-level BA.

5 scenario events that test your judgement

Day 4

Stakeholder conflict

Two senior stakeholders give you contradictory requirements. You decide how to resolve and document it.

Day 10

Data consent crisis

40% of records have no consent flag. The Privacy Lead escalates. Your Gap Analysis and DPIA sections come under immediate pressure.

Day 16

New ICO guidance

Updated ICO guidance drops mid-project. You have 48 hours to assess the impact and update your requirements.

Day 22

Data architect leaves

Eitan resigns. Jordan joins with zero context. Your handover documentation — written days ago — is now the only source of truth.

Day 27

Go-live moves forward

Go-live is brought forward 3 weeks. Your UAT scenarios, acceptance criteria and readiness assessment are all in scope.

26 Deliverables

Every deliverable. Day by day.

Each card unlocks on the correct simulation day. A real project arc — discovery through to handover.

The team

11AIprojectteammembers.

All in character. All day.

They reply to your emails, attend your meetings, push back on your documents, and pressure-test your decisions. This is not a chatbot. This is a team with opinions.

Priya

BA Lead

Your line manager. Coaches, directs, and reviews your work throughout. Sets the standard you're measured against.

Hannah

Privacy Lead

Escalates GDPR issues and consent flags. Holds firm on compliance. Day 10 is hers.

Marcus

Product Owner

Pushes the deadline. Challenges scope. Wants features before requirements are signed off.

Eitan

Data Architect

Flags technical constraints. Rejects your DFD on Day 12. Then disappears on Day 22.

Jordan

New Team Member

Joins with no project context on Day 22. Your documentation has to speak for itself.

Alex

BA Coach (AI)

Available throughout. Explains methodology in plain English. Never reveals grading criteria — teaches the method, not the test.

What you walk away with

Concrete outputs. Not knowledge. Evidence.

Verified BA deliverables on a real project

Public portfolio URLs employers can inspect

BA competency areas evidenced and scored

STAR answers built from your actual work

Days of simulated project experience for your CV

Who it's for

Six groups. One underlying problem:
no evidence of real work.

🔄

Career changers

Coming from project coordination, admin, operations or finance. Know the business. Need BA credentials and evidence of the work.

🎓

Course graduates

Completed a BA course (£450–£1,500) but stuck because every employer wants to see actual work, not a certificate.

📈

Junior BAs levelling up

Currently working as a junior BA. Need to prove Intermediate-level skills to get promoted or move firms.

↩️

Returners to work

Experienced BAs back from career breaks. Employers want recent project examples — the Simulator gives you current, verifiable ones.

🏛️

Public sector movers

Moving from public to private sector BA work. Private employers want to see commercial delivery — the Simulator is that environment.

🎯

Training company students

Enrolled in a BA programme and want to practise and prove skills beyond what classroom training delivers.
