The FDE Gym
Each session simulates an hour of a client engagement. AI plays the client’s staff. The gym scores what the person finds out, what they build and their plan for the next two weeks.
Inside a gym case
Our first case is Kestrel, a quote desk for an electrical distributor. It has:
- A brief from the sponsor, who wants an agent that drafts quotes.
- Three client staff, played by Claude. They hold 12 requirements between them and reveal each one only when asked.
- Nine files from Kestrel's systems, from the price book to a sales team Slack thread.
- A sandbox for the build. The code is then tested on six requests the person never sees.
- A new rule from the head of sales at minute 30.

the next two weeks
- A quote that breaks one of the client's rules scores zero.
- Three separate model calls judge each requirement. The majority decides.
- Builders are scored on all three parts. We're adding a strategist mode that scores discovery and the plan only.
- In assessment mode the person never sees the score. You can read every transcript.

After the cohort
Measure the change
The cohort takes the gym again on a new case. You see each person's score against their first one.
We build two or three cases from each firm's own work.
