MBA-style strategy cases
Long-form cases with embedded exhibits, financials, and stakeholder interviews. Branching checkpoints let students see how their decisions would have played out.
Coming soon
Long-form case studies with branching checkpoints, written with Claude or ChatGPT.
Build narrative business cases in plain language. Learners read, decide at checkpoints, and the story branches based on their choices. Graded against your rubric and exported SCORM-ready for any LMS.
What is it?
What is an interactive case study?
A long-form narrative training activity, the kind of business or clinical case typically taught at the MBA or graduate level, with embedded decision checkpoints that branch the story. Different paths lead to different epilogues and different scores, so the case teaches multiple lessons depending on how the learner navigates it.

How it works
How to build an interactive case
in four steps.
From a plain-English case narrative to a SCORM-ready interactive case study. No proprietary case-publishing platform required.
01
Draft or import the case narrative
Paste your existing case study or describe the situation. The tool structures it into chapters with optional exhibits, financials, transcripts, and timelines.
02
Define checkpoint decisions
Mark the points where the learner faces a real decision, and the consequences of each option. The story rewrites the next chapter based on what they pick.
03
Refine in chat
"Make the financial exhibit ambiguous." "Add a stakeholder who disagrees at checkpoint 2." Iterate by talking, not by editing case JSON.
04
Export as a SCORM 1.2 package
One command produces a SCORM 1.2 zip. Upload to any SCORM LMS. Per-checkpoint and final-epilogue scores post back to the gradebook automatically.
Use cases by role
Interactive case studies
for every judgment-heavy curriculum.
The same toolchain powers MBA-style business cases, clinical case-based learning, legal-case method, ethics teaching, and executive-development scenarios.
Clinical case-based learning
Long unfolding patient cases with diagnostic and treatment checkpoints. Different paths lead to different outcomes, modeling real clinical consequence.
Case-method instruction
Walk students through hypothetical fact patterns with embedded decision points. Branching paths model how different legal strategies play out at trial.
Executive judgment cases
Realistic strategic dilemmas, M&A, layoffs, market entry, with branching epilogues that show how early decisions compound.
Ethics-case teaching
Long-form ethical dilemmas with realistic stakes. Branching paths force learners to commit to a course of action and see the consequences play out.
Policy-decision simulations
Multi-stakeholder policy cases with budget, timeline, and political constraints. Different paths model different policy outcomes.
Checkpoint-graded narrative
Every checkpoint and every epilogue graded against your rubric.
When the case ends, the AI scores each checkpoint decision and the path through the narrative. Each comes back with a justification, evidence from the case exhibits the learner used, and a specific tip the learner can act on next case.
Update checkpoints, rubrics, or epilogues any time. Re-export the SCORM package and the next attempt grades against the new story.
Multi-checkpoint structure
Cases support multiple decision checkpoints. Each one influences subsequent chapters, exhibits, and stakeholder behavior.
Branching epilogues
Different paths land on different epilogues that explain what happened and why. Learners can replay to see the outcomes they didn't choose.
Rubric-graded decisions
Each checkpoint decision is scored against rubric criteria you set, not just on whether the learner picked the canonical answer.

Used the financial exhibit at checkpoint 2 to support the chosen acquisition price.
Acknowledged the dissenting stakeholder's concern instead of routing around it at checkpoint 3.
Landed on an epilogue consistent with the stated strategic priorities, not just one that maximized short-term return.
Plain-English authoring
Author interactive case studies in plain English. No case-publishing platform required.
Add a checkpoint, swap an exhibit, raise the stakes, or rewrite the rubric, just describe the change in your own words. Your coding agent rebuilds the case and re-exports the SCORM package without you ever editing structured case JSON.
When you're happy, export as a SCORM 1.2 package for your LMS, or use the same HTML bundle standalone.
Add a financial exhibit showing competitor margins for checkpoint 2.
Added exhibit 2-A: competitor margin table, 2018–2024. Decision-rubric criteria now reference it.
Add a dissenting stakeholder who pushes for divestiture at checkpoint 3.

MBA
Mid-market acquisition
A 4-chapter case where the learner advises a PE firm on a mid-market acquisition, with embedded financial exhibits and a dissenting CFO at checkpoint 3.
Prompt
Using /interactive-case-studies, build a 4-chapter mid-market acquisition case with 3 checkpoints. Score on diligence, valuation defense, and stakeholder management.
Medical
Unfolding sepsis case
A 3-chapter clinical case where the patient's status evolves between checkpoints. Decisions affect downstream labs and patient response.
Prompt
Using /interactive-case-studies, build a 3-chapter sepsis case with 3 checkpoints. Score on early-recognition, fluid management, and antibiotic timing.
Law
Pre-trial-strategy decision
A 5-chapter case where a litigator decides whether to file a dispositive motion, depose key witnesses, or pursue settlement. Branching epilogues at trial.
Prompt
Using /interactive-case-studies, build a 5-chapter pre-trial case with 3 strategic checkpoints. Score on motion practice, depo strategy, and settlement-vs-trial calculus.
Leadership
Layoff-during-pivot decision
A 4-chapter case where a CEO must reduce a 200-person team during a strategic pivot. Branching epilogues model team trust and burn-rate consequences.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about
interactive case studies.
Authoring, branching, LMS compatibility, exhibits, model choice, answered directly.
An interactive case study is a long-form narrative training activity, the kind of business or clinical case typically taught at graduate level, with embedded decision checkpoints that branch the story. Different paths lead to different epilogues and different scores.
Branching scenarios are shorter, decision-tree exercises focused on a single moment of judgment. Interactive case studies are longer narratives with multiple chapters, embedded exhibits, and several decision checkpoints, the format you'd recognize from MBA, medical, or law school case method.
Yes. Paste an existing case narrative and the tool structures it into chapters, identifies natural decision points, and lets you add branching options. You keep editorial control over the source material.
Each checkpoint decision is graded against rubric criteria you set, with credit for defensible reasoning even when the learner picks a non-canonical option. The final score combines checkpoint scores with the quality of the epilogue path.
Yes. Every case exports as a SCORM 1.2 package, which works in Cornerstone, Moodle, Canvas, TalentLMS, Docebo, Brightspace, and every other SCORM-compliant LMS.
Financial statements, charts, transcripts, photos, timelines, organizational charts, and structured tables. The same texture as a typical Harvard- or Stanford-style case, in a format LMSes can render.
The bundles run on whichever frontier model you configure, Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a self-hosted model. The narrative is pre-authored; only the grader and the optional 'what-if' dialogue use the model.
Interactive Case Studies is in active development. It will install via your coding agent with a single command, the same way the existing role-play skill works today. Add your email below and we'll let you know the day it ships.
