You join a five-person team on a five-year mission to bring a polluted, flood-prone river back to health, and make 13 decisions as the situation changes around you.

The clock stays paused while you read the welcome and the brief.
What it tests
Judgement: reading a brief, putting actions in order against it, and choosing how to respond to teammates, farmers, residents and a water company when the options pull in different directions.
How it runs
- 1
5 priority rankings
Put four actions in order of priority against the brief. Drag them, or move them with the arrows. - 2
8 courses of action
Read what has changed, then choose one of two or three responses, each with the words you would use. - 3
4 team briefings
New facts between decisions. Later decisions depend on them, and the brief stays one click away.
How it is scored
Each decision is worth 4 points. A ranking loses one point for every two places its actions sit from the stronger order. A course of action earns full credit for the strongest response and half for a defensible one. You finish with an overall score, a profile across four competencies and a review of every decision.
